It has been suggested that we have a meet and greet/ golf scramble. Let us know if you would like to participate. What the heck is a golf scramble? Glad you asked. A scramble is where people who rarely or never play golf can participate and have a good time regardless of their knowledge or skill at golf. Once people sign up teams are put together with at least one golfer per team. You don't build your own team as an effort is made to balance the teams by using the golfers handicaps. The format is everyone takes a shot from tee to green. The team chooses the best shot and move the other team members shot to that location then you all hit again until the team finishes the hole. You just count one stroke from each location to determine the team score for that hole so it's team vs team instead of an individual score. Date / time / location TBD so please also post your preferences for those. I am thinking a weekend afternoon, Sunday would be best to avoid the morning course crowd. For location I suggest OSO Beach which is near A&M CC, has reasonable prices and is in very good shape since the city contracted it out.

I know of several guys whose first golf experience was in a scramble tournament. No experience necessary!
We will have a great time. Good way to meet some of our frienemies on this site. I want to be in a foursome with Boogaire, stiffy, and CPA!

I'm game if I'm not working on that day... Wonder if we get enough people if we could get a group discount and play New Port Dunes? Watching me play golf would be a good laugh for anybody that shows up.

I have truly used "FORE" to the utmost and still hit a guy on the Green and even had a few senior Army Officers ducking for cover on two fairways over. A Golf Scramble is a blast. Drinking beer is the main course and swatting at the little white ball is the by-product.

I prefer scramble as best ball can be confused with low ball where every one plays their own ball from their own locations tee to green but only the best score by one individual team member counts as the team score for each hole. It's just a way for people who seldom or never play to participate and have fun playing regardless of skill level.

I want to be in a foursome with Boogaire, stiffy, and CPA! Uh, I'll pass on this one. I haven't touched my golf clubs other than to move them from one corner to another in atleast three years.

I played last Monday for the 1st time in about 5 months. Best 2 balls I hit all day is when I stepped on a rake in a sand trap Oso is in pretty good shape. I'm ready!
