Golf Scramble Question

This thread is a perfect example of the overinflated male ego. :lol2: :lol2:

Don't confuse long with good lol. I haven't kept it the past couple years but I'd say between 3-7.

 

I've never met a guy good enough to be a "3-7" and didn't carry a GHIN. Who on Earth is giving you strokes based on "about 3-7"?

Kinda' like hit a major league pitcherthread a while back.

Not at all...at least on my part. (I already said I suck, so no ego there.) It's just respect for what I think the 4 guys I could put together could do.

When I see guys hitting it 360+ in the Canadian Open today, I wonder what kind of second shots our best BGP foursome will be faced with on the same track.

What makes golf unique is the fact that there is much less disparity between professionals and really good amateur players. Lots of great amateur players anymore. Google Jeff Knox, interesting read.

And you got an extensive tour of the course.

 

Not that wild, just dont hit the ball very far. Ball goes really high in the air.

 

I cant put worth a damn either.

I enjoyed reading about Jeff Knox that was very interesting.

Just an FYI... the Top 7 guys this weekend finished -18 or better at the Canadian Open.

A scramble team of scratch or near scratch golfers would have smoked that score on that course. The three fellows that would be on my team are all former D-1 golfers, can hit the ball over 300, have great iron games, have played just as challenging course (or more challenging ) as the Canadian, and would not be intimidated by fast greens. Also, with a scramble format, very seldom should bunkers or rough come into play.

Now, they'd have to have a month or so of nothing but golf to get their games tuned in but PGA courses would not intimidate them. Two of them played on the southern tours for a few months in their post-college days, played with Bubba and Boo and several others who are now on the tour.

 

I'm still interested in hearing what Jahearme thinks about this question. He could definitely line up a good scramble team too.

Scratch golfers and a team of guys 5-10 are a lot different.

The question was how well you could do with 3 hand-picked friends, the best golfers, not pro golfers.

 

The three I would pick are members of our local course. They're not pro golfers. They play in the usual summertime club invitationals around eastern and central Kentucky, all amateur events.

True, results would vary wildly. :lol2: I was just trying pick a number where it's likely everyone knows a few guys in that range. Not many guys are putting together a team of 4 scratch golfers.

Oh, the team wouldn't all be scratch. I would be the weak link. I'm a 10 at best. The only help I might provide would be around the greens. i definitely can't hit the ball anything like those 3.

The burden of competition would for certain be on the 3 guys I would choose as teammates. My help would be minimal. :o:D

Or three +3 guys, like was mentioned above.
