Aside from anything else, the D player gets to play their shot from the same place as the A/B/C player each time. SWAT (assuming it's what I think it is) the D player is playing from D player spots while everyone else is not. Hit one OB in a scramble and you get a go at the next shot. Hit one OB in SWAT and your next contribution will be the next hole. -

With regard to dialing in distance wedges, I think it goes without saying that you need to have a pretty repeatable swing to start honing in on the numbers...meaning you wouldn't go through this exercise during a swing change or after a long hiatus. As a not-often-enough golfer, I'm probably a little less repeatable than most of you. But I think I could still come up with some rough numbers once I get access to a launch monitor or space to put in the time. I might just have to remove some outliers where I completely biff the shot 😅 When you're coming up with the numbers for your wedge/swing combination, I'm assuming you take an average of several reps. Just curious how many in each set you're averaging? If you're all over the place, does it make more sense to come up with a small range for each swing? -
They have the potential for every one of their shots to count, and thus feel involved. And I think a lot of people use the C and D player shots more often than they think, if only because if they hit a decent shot the B and A player can "go after it" a little (typically resulting in a worse shot overall). When they're chipping for bogey and the A player has a 15 footer for birdie, they've been out of the hole for a little while already. They feel like they may as well not even be there. That's a big difference. I don't love scrambles, either, but they are what they are, and they do involve everyone more so than a SWAT. -

D players are just as sidelined in scrambles - maybe they hit one lucky shot or sink 1 long putt (putting first, always). -
Whoa. I'm a bit behind on my episodes so gotta catch up. Varying distance by +/- half a yard 200 out deliberately is........ well, if it wasn't Scottie attempting it, sounds incredulous. Insane indeed.
