Played a scramble tourney the other day for a local Police Department fundraiser.

Im a 10-12 handicap, my buddy who is prob a 20 handicap, another friend who couldnt break 150 and my friend's uncle who is a legit 7.

Started off by sinking a 40 footer on the first hole from off the green...and just kept it rolling the whole time.

We had a stretch where we birdied 6 holes in a row, including an eagle lip out. I know for most of you guys who are single digit handicaps this is probably just another scramble score, but this was literally the most fun Ive ever had on a golf course. All four of us, hit at least one putt from over 20 feet, and the 20 handicap probably sunk at least 3 from that distance.

We ended up shooting 10- (60) and were greenside rough in 2 on a short par 5 but couldnt get up and down for birdie...That might haunt me, as I was thinking about it after the round...How ridiculous is it to shoot a 59? Even in a scramble, that would have been a huge golf milestone.

What is the lowest you have ever shot in a scramble?

that's actually a pretty standard score, i play in 3-4 golf outings a year and we usually shoot in the 70's with a bunch of 15-20 golfers I haven't done my handicap in a while but 2 summers ago I was a 17, prob a little bit worse now. The teams that win are almost always in the 60-63 range.

but nevertheless congrats on the experience! sinking those 40 footers are so freaking nice lol.

19 under on a par 70, our handicaps were 2,4,8,9,10,10.... The course was setup with the whites all the way up so playing even easier than a 67.4/119. 9 hole course so hole 1/10 was the only hole where we would even have a shot in over 100 yards.

We have this scramble once a year where all the tees are all the way back and a couple tees are even placed on different holes to make them longer and the pins are on sidehills, we have taken 8s before. One year a team with a bunch of guys who played at IU shot 16 under, easily the most impressive score I've ever seen turned in in a scramble. I think we shot -5 that day and we were 0,0,8,8,10,10 handicaps

I've got a date tonight. I'm hoping for a chance at a 69.

Anyway, I thought the thread was gonna be about a round you had at your home course or something, not a scramble. Between cheating, ringers, and easy setups 59 is a very standard score. I think our lowest was a legit, no cheating -21 (for a net 51) at a full length, not easy course. We had 15 birdies and 3 eagles, one of them on a drivable par-4. But all four of us were single digit handicappers and never had a point where all four of us screwed up and didn't get it close. One caveat is that I do think we each had three mulligans or something so that probably saved our ass once or twice.

Misleading title! Scrambles don't count. It has to be just you.

Yeah wtf. Last scramble I played we shot 55.

Aha, I knew I would get the "59 is standard in a scramble", thats why I prefaced it with "this is no big deal for most of you guys".

Just more or less a chance at a milestone for me personally...I didnt really think that anyone would seriously confuse the fact that I had a chance at 59 by myself.

anytime when you break a 60 scramble or not, it's an amazing feeling and it makes golfing extremely addicting. i was on the course when david duval shot 59 at the final round of chrysler in like 99 ish? i think the whole gallery was pumped up when they saw that 2nd shot on the par 5 18th. anyone remember this? hahahah i know this is old school!

With your group 59 would be a great score.

I think me and my friends have never lost a scramble. We just won the Steve Harvey one last week at Bali High in Vegas at 51, 9 shot win. We've won that 5 years straight and yeah Steve roasts us like no other at the end every year.

I dont know what that scramble is, but I highly doubt you can be my group today.

Put up a 56 once...usually around -10 with my usual foursome, which is three of us that are 10-12's and one random.

Interestingly, this year we played a private club for the second time....last year we had three of us and a 15, shot 58....this year, same 3 with a 4 handicapper, shot 63....goofy game....

Scramble with 6 men? I never saw that format...only foursomes is what I have ever played...

i used to play in a scramble once a year, i think last time we shot 60 or 61 with 2 12s, an 18 or so who could hit it a long ways, and some guy who plays once a year (the scramble) but manages to hole every putt somehow. it's pretty standard.

-18 in the Bro Jake Open scramble and we lost to Nevada Bob's team who was -19

Worst scramble score +11 in the iron man at Furry Creek when the tees where the furthest back and all the holes where in the toughest spots + the 30mph wind and driving rain storm.

I plyed a 9 hole scramble last week. Uncle has a 3 handicap. I'm probably ~18. And my aunt is probably a ~100 handicap.

We had to use atleast 2 tee shots from each player, and we didn't make a putt over 5 feet. Shot 31 on par 35.

your uncle must have been really on it with his iron game...

Meh, he wasn't anything special that day w/ irons compared to normal. I had some pretty nice shots myself, and then when I f'd up the odd shot like usual he was clutch. Good timing more then anything imo.
