I finally had the nerve to sign up for the monthly club tournament tomorrow. It's a 4-man scramble. They're going to put an A,B,C,D player in each group. My current USGA index is 16.1 so I assume that maybe the D player lolol..anyway..I hope I don't keep the group behind.

Any tips/knowledge I should know going into this?

You may be the C player. At the last ABCD tourney I played in the D's started at a 20 handicap.

Anyway just have fun, playing with your buddies is fun,but playing in a competition can be even better. I personally love competing in tournaments.

My report:

Got off to a rocky start and almost OVERSLEPT..fastest I've ever driven to the g.c. Latest check-in was 06:45..got there by 06:40..but made it..got a bunch of goodies..a really nice fitting Adidas g.c. logo baseball hat, Adidas towel..the ball were a pack of generic Noodles..which will go to a bud probably.

You could buy in $100/team..payout to top three..one guy wanted to do it..the rest didn't..so we didn't..lol..humilating thing was over the P.A. system the club house kept repeating "The only team not payed is team 17A..17A..last chance..17A"..felt everyone was looking at us like a bunch of chickens..lol

It was a shotgun and everyone got in their carts (144 players) and then every drove off to their respective hole. We started at a par 3. What was amazing is how well kept they made the tee boxes..and all the official markers (SCGA for us) were on. I was the "C" man and played from the gold tees. (We have 4 sets, red, gold, blue, black) I normally play from the black but didn't complain..and was actually glad because i brought out the new irons to test out.

I hit my first shot to the right, not OB, but in the opposing fairway. So I picked it up..the others were on..ugh, for the first shot. I was the 2nd man putting..1st guy missed it by a foot..I drained it for birdie!! Was so happy..made up for the 1st shot..turns out I was the strongest putter on the team.

Overall the day went well and eveyone was cool. We finished -4.

-4 and 23rd :D Not bad mate i cant do any better

The average net handicap/index was 3.0 (we were 3.3.) so it looked pretty even. Every hole we had a birdie putt but just a little out of our range. It was pretty fun though. Gladly play again.

Scrambles can be a ton of fun if you have a good group. I've got a lot of good business and have met some good friends paying in a scramble golf torney. Sometimes they are too tough to win "sandbaggers" but still you can have a couple of adult beverages and a few laughs and its all worth it. Tell us about your next event!

    • The courses played +3.2 relative to par on the first day.  That is why Rory's and Cantlay's strokes gained were +8.2 better than average. They played stupidly good on a very tough test. It happens. Some people can have one day of good golf. There are 4 rounds. just for some perspective and to put some FACTS behind what you said.  The Memorial played +1.5 relative to par. So the first round of The US Open played 2x as hard as the Memorial did.  The Masters played +1.91 relative to par.  The RBC played +0.29 relative to par. The Charles Swab played +0.82 relative to par.  If that continues it would be the toughest test of golf by like 1.3 strokes. Nearly 68% tougher.   
    • Shot a +8 for 9 holes. The course was playing tough. Firm and fast. You had to be careful of the ball just taking a bad kick into the trees. The course doesn't cut the fairways down to where you can get a ton of spin. You almost have to slightly thin it to get spin. A lot of shots end up a few grooves high on the club face. The grass just stands up a bit, and it is easy to get slightly under it. The greens are decently sloped, and are stupidly firm, it is tough to stop the ball. Like, you hit to the middle of the green and the likely result is the ball is on the fringe or back rough.  I have to fix this toe hook I am having. I the swing feels decent, just over drawing more than I want. It is tough for me to feel like I can open the club face up that much to counter act it. Especially with the driver since I sole the club down on the ground to grip the club. I am not feeling like I am hitting that far inside to out. I wonder if it is an alignment issue. Like, maybe my slight push is a straight ball and the toe hook might be a straight hook. I might play a practice round out there and lay an alignment stick down to get a feel for where I am aiming and what I am actually hitting. 
    • As far as I can tell today it’s not even the toughest test of golf in the month of June.
