two man scrammble,  the team with the best golfer will win,  I need to modify the scrammble,  maybe alternate shoting.  Each player is required to two drives per 9 holes,  what?\naht?

I've seen two different setups that have worked really well.\n\nFirst one was called "The Loop" at my home course.  Everyone just goes out and plays their own ball, and then turns in their scorecards at the end of the round.  The players were divided into two pools - the A pool had all the guys who shot around 80, the B pool was the 110 shooters, in your case - and the scorecards are drawn so every A player is matched with a B player.  From there, it's the team's best ball on the hole vs. the field for skins.  Everyone plays hard because they don't know who their partner is until the end of the round...\n\nNow, if the teams have to be known in advance, try alternate shot.  Whoever drives on the first hole drives on all the odd-numbered holes; the partner drives on all the evens.  Automatic two-stroke penalty if someone hits twice in a row (including knocking in that three-inch putt after missing the five-footer).  Just make sure the teams involve one low and one high handicapper, or else it'll get ugly quick.

Very low. I'm not actually going to do the computation for you but I'll show you how it's set up.\n\nThis would be easiest to figure out on a graphing calculator like the TI-89.\n\nI'm assuming that the 1/3500 is for a single hole, so note that you're playing 50*18 holes in the season, or 900 holes. Getting 3 holes in one and 897 not is going to be the odds of three holes in one((1/3500)^3) mutiplied by the odds of 897 not((3499/3500)^897) multiplied by the ways to picking any three random holes of the 900 for the holes-in-one(this is done by a function called choose, denoted 2c5 for the number of ways to pick any two of five slots.\n\nThe answer is:\n((1/3500)^3) * ((3499/3500)^897) * (3c900)\n\nIt's going to be a very small number indeed. Congratulations on your fantastic season, I hope you do as well again next year.

Tiger played really well all week. He hit a lot of fairways and a lot of greens. Yesterday, unfortunately, his putter abandoned him. During the first 3 days, he averaged around 26 putts/round. Yesterday, he needed 33 putts. In fact, I can almost guarantee that, as he was finishing his round yesterday, he was thinking that he should have won the tournament by about 4-5 shots.

Yes. Thank goodness I had three witnesses too. It was on a hole that was only 170 yards, but what the heck. I had an opportunity to fill out a form at the clubhouse and answer questions about what type of club I used, what type of ball, shoes, glove, etc. It was fun and I had been playing for about six years when I did it. I originally thought I hit it past the green, but couldn't see until we looked in the hole. Fourth hole at San Jose Municipal Golf Course in California. Whee!

I carry 16 clubs in my bag on normal play. Driver, 3,4 (sometimes 5) woods, 2-9 pitching 52,56, 60 wedges and putter. I have difficulties taking two clubs off in competition as it is allowed only 14 clubs, but usually I sacrifice 4 wood and 60 degree. Sometimes depending on the course I play, I take also 1 iron in the bag, too but then I need to take out additional club which usually is 52 degree wedge. Hate who made the 14 club rules, in the beginning you allowed 18 clubs.\n\nDriver is when you want to hit very far. Sometimes, 3 wood is needed for the tee shot if the fairway is very narrow, and if it is really tiny, nobody would care if you tee off with iron. 3 wood is used also for hitting long approach from the fairway, and sometimes Tiger Woods use it for chipping shots, or putting from off the green. The rest of the irons are used for various distance depending from each person to person. Try yours in the driving range and you'll know your distance for each iron.\n\nIn the beginning, if you don't know it, use 5, 7 iron, pitching and putter. 5 for the longest distance, 7 for medium distance or about 130 yards, pitching for less than that and putter for the green. Wait another 6 months, I'll you more.

When it comes to putters if you like it and think you can make putts it's good.  Heavy putters for slow greens light for fast.  \n\nA couple things to remember \nDo not use your wrist \nShort back swing good follow through - make sure you accelerate the putter\n\nLength of putt\nLay a ruler on the ground.  Putt the ball 3 feet.  Make a note how far you take the putter back.  1.5 inches in most cases.  Do the same for a 5 foot, 8 foot and 15 foot putt.  Once you learn how far to take the club back for each distance your way ahead of the game.  \n\nHere is some more info \nhttp://www.pga.com/improve/tips/shortgame/improve_nesbitt120505.cfm

This was exactly what I meant when I answered the Tiger vs Phil question. Only this time, Phil didn't have the magic to save par or even bogey. And he has no one to blame but himself.\n\nPhil's course management for the week was excellent right up until the last hole, and then he went for it. I could understand that mentality if he were trailing by a stroke, or maybe....MAYBE...if he were tied for the lead coming home. But the fact of the matter was he was up by a stroke. Had he played an iron off the tee, played a long iron in and even landed around the green, worst case scenario he's in a playoff.\n\nThis is the mental block he has to get away from the become a seriously dominant force on the PGA. Perhaps he needs to add Dr Bob Rotella to his new entourage. The go-for-broke attitude is entertaining sometimes, but when you have a shot at the US Open, and then essentially give it away, it's time to re-evaluate your position on that kind of thing.

How about a round of golf at a great golf course.  To hard to pick out golf equipment

It was a cool breezy day here in the heart of KY at our local public course nemed Pine Valley.  I had been stuggling all day long so i wasn't even expecting much when I came to the tee.  But here it was, the short 305 yard par 4.  This hole has a lake all down the left and woods all down the right so a drive down the center was a must. I had been keeping the face open all day long with driver hitting it right of target not slicing but a little fade so I compensated a little and let it rip.  From the tee it looked like I hit about 20 yards in front of the green.  We get down to the green and I'm looking for my ball while my buddy is hitting his 2nd shot.  I was just about to throw one down and take a drop when he says HOLY SHYT!!  I looked up and he was pointing in the hole.  NO WAY!!  I didn't hole a par 4??!!??  Sure enough I walked up to the hole and it was MY ball.  Couldn't believe it.  I've never aced a par 3 but lucked one in from 305 on a par 4.  I give all my buddies hell about it but its all in fun.

The scoring system for golf is actually very simple.\n\nEach hole on every course is given a "par" score..in other words the number of shots it should take you to get your ball from the tee to the hole. The par for a hole depends on its length and difficulty. \n\nA "bogie" is  the par score for a hole plus one..so if you take 5 shots on a par 4 hole, thats a bogie..and thats not good!\n\nA "birdie" is the par score for a hole minus one..so if you only take 3 shots on a par 4 hole, that's a birdie...and that's good!\n\nThe winner is the golfer who take the fewest shots to go round all 18 holes on a course.\n\nThe best way to learn is to play,  or just watch the big tournaments on the TV. You will soon pick it up.

I'm not ignoring this question.  I usually answer these.  Basketball is a team sport while golf isn't.  Apples and oranges but I guess I will give it a try.  When his mind is on the game, Tiger.

109, you are well on your way to breaking 100 in the next round or 3, if you haven't already. Point being you are a fair to good club swinger who is improving. \nMost of the above answers are good, but just getting it out in play will not teach you how to hit a long bunker shot which you are going to need as your game improves. If the smart play is to punch it out because of the situation like the lip, trees, lake etc. then do it, but you still need to hit a few long ones because this won't be the last time you are in one.\n   Greg V had most of the components right, but he got confused on ball placement. In order to hit the ball first you have to put it a little BACK in your stance (and I mean a little) so you strike the ball first not the sand. The idea being to slightly hit it into the sand which repells the ball out or get it out clean. In a green side bunker you play the ball a little forward so you strike the sand first which explodes under the ball and forces it out. I don't know about the feet digging in part, but I always waggle my feet in so as not to loose my footing, which as you know if you ever played in sneakers on wet grass, can really ruin a shot.\nYou don't necessarily have to go for the green either. If you think you can make it, or,  if you don't you won't leave a hard chip (like another bunker shot) then go for it, that's the fun of the game.. My guess if you were 200 out it was your 2nd shot on a par 4 or 5. To make par, hit it to a distance you are confident from, say 100yds. So say you hit your wedge 100yds.usually, in this bunker trap you would hit a 9 or 8 to make it go 100 yds because you loose distance from the sand which is not as solid as the fairway. Chip up and hopefully make the putt for par.

It's been said that the driver is the second most important club in your bag-- next to your putter. A good drive sets the tone for the rest of the hole. Will you be scrambling just to get back on the fairway, hoping for pars and bogeys-- or will you be aggressively going for the green and for birdies? \n\nBy squeezing a few extra yards out of those drives, the subsequent iron shot will be that much easier, as will your chips, putts, and so on. \n\n1. Body Coil - Tiger Woods, Fred Couples, and other greats generate tremendous power by coiling the upper body with a big shoulder turn. The hips, however, don't turn nearly as much. This creates tension and torque, not unlike a rubber band being stretched before it's let go. How do you accomplish it? Try to keep the right leg and knee solid as you take the club away and fully rotate your shoulders. On the downswing, unwind and rotate through the ball with your hips. Make sure your navel is facing the target at the end of the swing to ensure a full turn. \n\n2. Developing a "Lag" - Successful drivers all have a "lag" in their swing. On the downswing, the wrists must release their energy at some point. When this happens is key. The closer to impact with the ball, the more stored power there will be. Many golfers deliver this source of power near the top of the swing or early on the way down, and end up swinging with just arms at contact. This is commonly called "casting"--the opposite of lag. One drill to improve this is to cock your wrists at the top of the backswing so that there's a right angle between your arm and club. Pull the club down in slow motion, while doing your best to retain this angle. Try to incorporate this into your full swings, and remember to release those wrists through the ball! \n\n3. Swinging with the Whole Body - Some of the biggest muscles in your body are the upper legs and trunk, and you should use them to put power in your swing. On the downswing, your legs should begin the drive and the trunk begins the turn. Also, the bigger muscles have much less chance to twitch under pressure than do the smaller ones. This is why good swingers seem to move effortlessly--the small muscles are being led by the larger ones. This is called "swinging with the whole body." Try it! \n\n4. Left Arm Straight at the Top - Make sure your left arm is kept relatively straight on the backswing to ensure a wide swing arc. Keep some distance between the hands at the top of the swing and your shoulders and head. This produces more club head speed without swinging any harder. Davis Love III and Vijay Singh are great examples of this. Watch them, and internalize what you see!

I DON'T THINK ANYONE HAS TURNED IN A TRUTHFUL SCRAMBLE SCORE CARD IN THE HISTORY OF THE GAME. I HAVE PLAYED IN MANY AND HAVE SEEN SCORES AS LOW AS 53, THE HONESTY OF GOLF GOES AWAY IN A SCRAMBLE, THEY JUST WANT TO WIN...

if you have one I'd say bring your 3 wood, 7 and putter. this club set yields enough play within them to work on the course. since you only have 2 par 5's 3 wood will give you enough distance, minus the headache of shanked balls, and still leave you enough room for your 7.
