For some reason YouTube doesn't want to process this...here's a VIMEO. Got 3 (2 got up, 1 was basically bladed) on the first pass and got all 4 on the second and third attempt. There was plenty of

About a 25-30 yard swing. First swing felt clunky with the fourth ball, second swing felt better. With the third swing the fourth ball went way left No change in pitching technique, just made sure

LOL I'm all proud that I managed to get all 5 in the air. You launch them with ease and declare it simply ok. #Higherstandards ;-) [quote name="boogielicious" url="/t/78471/cmp-challenge-001-pitch-four-balls-at-once/30#post_1085356"]go for 6! [/quote]I believe the bar has been raised to 7.

I suspect some of y'all been practicing before filming. That's a no-no. I filmed it cold (figuratively and literally!), not even a practice swing as evidenced by the virgin snow. I'm pretty sure I can pull it off better now that I've experienced the first 3 attempts. Unfortunately the inch and a half of snow in my yard has now grown to a foot and a half...

Yours in earnest, Jason.

There's no practicing allowed, but that doesn't mean you aren't allowed to take practice swings. I showed all the "practice" that I had beforehand in the couple practice swings before I first hit the balls. Today is when I plan to film the attempt for six or seven golf balls in my yard, and I'll do the same in showing all the "practice" I have.

Yeah, I wasn't suggesting that a practice swing wasn't allowed, just pointing out that I didn't take one. I figured I had three attempts so the first one would serve as better practice than a practice swing. I also flubbed the first one and dug in prior to the 4th ball which taught me more than an air swing would have. I was actually pleasantly surprised to get 3 on the first attempt and all 4 on the second and third. It's pretty easy, even with Carnival Stripper Knees. Lol.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Or maybe we're just better at pitching the ball than you :-P

Was that because if you had waited the balls would have been frozen to the ground?

Will have to try to find some nice bermuda fairway lies for that, no way with the kind of grass on the range.

Yeah, I wasn't suggesting that a practice swing wasn't allowed, just pointing out that I didn't take one.

I only took about 5 practice swings, gotta get that "brush" feel.

First attempts by @Golfingdad and @Shindig , We didn't have much time so they'll do their next two at another time.


I did a little better this time, remembering to use my 59 instead of my 54, and no doubt the mat assisted me a bit.  Also learned I'm way too steep on my pitches, so ... something to work on:

(Also, wearing nearly the exact same outfit. :8) )

And my attempt at five.

      Who Else Hates Scrambles?

      By iacas · Posted

      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.

      Who Else Hates Scrambles?

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      So you understand this format is intended to get as many people involved as possible, but you prefer a format where the only scores that are likely to count are those of the better players.  How often do you think the score of the D player would count?  And knowing his score won't count, why would be "be bothered" to play?   I'm not a fan of scrambles, but I understand the reason to use the format.  I DO enjoy meeting club members, and I believe that my club's spring scramgle is relatively free of cheating, although there definitely ARE some players who overdo the libations.  If your club's scramble is rife with cheating, that's a problem with the culture of your club, not a problem with scrambles in general.

      Who Else Hates Scrambles?

      By KingSlender · Posted

      I know that every golf outing is always a scramble because of the varied skill levels, but my buddy thinks I'm a snob because I don't like to play our club's kickoff event, which is an A-B-C-D scramble.  Yeah, I get the point of it to mix teams up and get to know other/new members, but I honestly can't be bothered.  Would much rather that they play it as a SWAT format - still A-B-C-D players, but you only count the lowest gross score (no gimmes).   I just don't get the point of scrambles beyond people who love to booze it up and they are always rife with cheating.
