Learn To Scramble Your Way Through Golf
This article takes a closer look at the topic of using the golf scramble format to get more individuals interested in the great game of golf.
Studies indicate that the rate of people who play golf has not improved in the last few years. A large reason for this is the cost that comes with enjoying such a pastime.
Nonetheless, an additional factor is how hard the game is to play at a decent level. Players get shy when their scores go sky high. Some people prevent this embarrassment by just playing the game on a laid-back level, meaning they do not keep score and just have fun playing around the course. In that, way they are not obligated to note a high golf score.
Let me recommend a technique to get new golfers more interested in the game of golf. Think about trying the scramble.
A scramble is not an official golf format approved by the United States Golf Association (USGA) of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, Scotland (R&A). It is considered a casual way to engage in golf that is popular currently and used in the more informal and fun golf tournaments.
The scramble format calls for each golfer to hit the golf ball from the tee box as usual. Then a decision is made among those playing in the group as to which is the best shot. The best shot could be the longest or the one that has a direct shot into the green. Once the decision is made as to which is the best shot (or lie), each player hits the golf ball from that spot (or roughly close to the spot).
This occurs on each shot, whether it is from the tee box, on the fairway, in the rough, or on the green.
A notable thing about the scramble format is that each player does not have to be concerned about every shot he or she makes. If a shot is shanked, then you just cross your fingers that another player will get a perfect shot when he or she has a turn. Easily said, every player in the gang can help with the final score.
Here are two additional suggestions for using the scramble format:
1. When playing in a casual game, use TeeGolf as well as using the scramble format.
TeeGolf (www.playteegolf.com) is a golf game that just came out where you can put your golf ball on a tee anywhere on the golf course with the exception of the green. (This gives the new golfer the chance to have a decent stroke at the golf ball.)
Using TeeGolf will also let you better the lie of the golf ball. You may also take 3 Mulligans per round of golf.
In that case, mixing the scramble format with TeeGolf makes the game much simpler and less confusing for the casual player.
2. When participating in a fun game of golf with your family or friends, try using the scramble format because it will make the game much more entertaining. All of you will be hitting the ball on the same spot on the golf course and this will give you more of a chance to spend time together and enjoy one another's company while playing the round.
Playing the scramble, keeping one score (and using TeeGolf, if you wish), makes the game of golf more enjoyable for the average or less-than-average golfer because it is more forgiving.
Try out the scramble format and ask your friends and family to play, who may be a bit wary of golf, but will be impressed by a game that is less demanding where everybody can participate.
