4 man scrambles/ best scores

[blue_crush]

4 man scrambles.....
in a recent tourney we were beat out by the ups team who posted a 54..
just wondering what kinds of low scores you have seen to win one of these things... just curious what guys out there are shooting... I don't have a team, and usally its just me and a friend who get paired up with another twosome.... we've done ok with 62, 64, 64... and I know a 59-62 seems to be the winner, but what have you seen...? thanks

Me my brother and our girls won at 59 a couple of years back, we had 4,7,8 and 15 in handicap back then. It was so awesome because the girls were hitting monster drivers(250-270 yards) from the ladies tee.

We shot 66 on Friday. Winners shot 58.

Played in one a few years back and we shot 51 (-21). Mind you I was the hacker in the group with a 3 handicap. The combined handicap of our team was 5 (our A player was a +2). Boy they got pissed at us!

Back in 2004, played in a pro-am group with Dottie Pepper and we shot a 14-under score of 58. Then in 2006, played with Angela Stanford and also shot a 14-under at the same course.

Other than that, I think the best I've done in a group not containing a professional golfer is 6-under, and that was in a scramble playing from the tips of our league course last month. Playing from the tips makes that course 7215 yards, so I thought it was a pretty good accomplishment.

My 100 handicap scramble team won with a -8 64. I think its a great score considering how high handicap we all were, all the teams were setup so that each one had a total of 100 handicap. Needless to say we won by 1 stroke :)

Shot a 59 one time for 3rd place.

Wow -21.. That is a huge score even for single digits. Birdie 15 holes and eagle 3. No one had a chance...

Funny story. A buddy of mine was in a scramble a couple weeks ago and the winning team came in saying they shot a -26. Now a -21 is believable with a group of scratch golfers, but a -26 That means they had to eagle 8 holes. I guess everyone at the tourney booed them. And rightfully so.

Im a junior and the best our group had which was -4. we won it. This was 2 years ago.

Only scramble I've played in recently was a three-man in my high school's alumni golf outing. Was supposed to be foursomes, but we were the odd-ball group, I think. Still carded in 5 under 65 at the end of the day, but the winning group had 56. They were boo'd onto the stage (I think some pencil-whipping was involved, because it didn't look like anyone played well that day.)

We were in either second or third place, all things considered - we had a good scramble team. I could drive the ball, sometimes hit irons close, one guy was really good with irons, and the third guy could putt anyone's eyes out.

Granted, a lot of scrambles allow you to buy as many mulligans as you want for $5 or $10 each, plus you get different rules that make the scoring really low. ONe of my favorites is the power drive - where you are allowed ot tee off from the ladies tees on the hole of your choice. Makes an almost reachable par 4 an eagle opportunity.

we shot -23 under ina 4 man scramble, but there was a catch, we had 10 feet of string to extend any shot we made. without the string we shot
-17 under with no bogeys, and 1 eagle.

Most events I have played in ( business events = lot of people that don't play much ) end up having the winners -8 to -11.

Yeah, -26 is utter Bull$hit. In these pro-ams I've played in over the years, the lowest I've ever seen is -19 by the winning team. I think the year I saw that score was when Karrie Webb's group won the thing, and the guys with her were a bunch of ringers themselves. And you've got a major-winning pro in the group.

Someone said they eagled two holes, birdied fifteen of them, and parred one. Our 14-under that year still wasn't enough to place in the top 10.

whats up with the mulligan thing too..... one of the teams bought 20 of them, and they only came in with a 68....that was sad

so if you buy a mulligan ticket and you can use it as another stroke... like if everyone missed an egale putt, you could use it to stroke again... wow thats totally changes things. I found out that the ups team eagled all 3 par 5's well theres six right there.. and that would leave them 12 holes to birdie out right...

I was on a team today and we shot -20. Got 3rd place as the 1st place team shot -22. That team just happened to have two of the course superintendants boys on the team.

ok... I'm not the best science or math person in the world.. but if the course was par 72 and you shot a -20 thats like a 52.......

so that would have been a birdie on every hole and 2 eagles at least....???? would that be right.? and how would you explain the 50....? I'm lost on this one... ps... heres another new one for me, the tourney for this last fri/sat they took the top 4 teams and droped there names into a hat and drew the winners. the top team shot a 59 and got 4th place 200.00, they were pissssd and the 4th place had a 62 and got 800.00... we tied at 5th with 64's I had a bad wedge day, but on a highlight for me was a drive to the green on a 340yd par 4 which got a roar......it got a good bounce and rolled up there....

They probably bought a whole lot of mulligans that they used when they were putting.



That or they cheated.
