count me in! i think these scrambles are usually set up as mixers with teams made up of low, medium and high hadicappers on each team rather than making up your own teams. gives every team a chance to win and makes for a good social event.

There was a day I played lots of golf. 100+ rounds a year. Not being gifted with the world's best coordination, I could only manage to break into single digit handicaps at times despite how much I played and practiced. Sold golf clubs in college and that job allowed me to start guiding as I got lots of time off in the winter to run trips and worked steady selling clubs in the summer months.



My one-and-only ace on number 3 at Harbor Pointe (lived on #6 teebox for a couple of years) ... I don't get to play much anymore, but still enjoy it (most of the time ) when I do. Alaska summer golf is strange ... you can hit the ball a mile, but the greens suck, the brush alongside fairways is the biggest ball-eating-mess you've ever seen. Always give moose the right-of-way

Wish I could partake in a two-sport event, but alas, I'll be up north working away

OK RT: Well youve found lots of golf buddies;I played my first game of 2002 today My putting stunk;but here is the deal.
Each player is only allowed to carry his putter. All other shots are played with a baitrod,spinning reel,1/2oz lead and a white fly. You can make as many casts as you wish. Each successive cast is made from the place at which your fly lands on the previous cast.
The format is a 4 fly (ball) all players from scratch.
once your fly lands on the green you must put from the point where the fly fisrst landed on the green.
There is a bait bann on all par5 holes.

All this talk of golf is making me sort of nostalgic of bushwacking days chasing after errant golf balls...most of which I could never find.

I did have some fun though...remember golfing at the course up on Kodiak. It ran right along the Buskin River, signs everywhere told you to let the bears play through, and they were serious.

Now all I need to do is dig out my golf clubs, hit a bucket of balls at the range, realize how much I suck and throw the clubs back into storage...that way I will not show up at the event and make a total fool of myself.

That's a cool way to both cast and golf, Coot. That would be a fun deal. I've also heard of Frizbee golf too - where they throw it until reaching the green. But I think I will stick to hitting Titlist HPs.

By the way, I got e-mail from Haverod' .... from overseas. Tour of duty for a couple more months, before getting back to Ft. Lewis. So, I will run this thread again about early May - a month or so before a possible June website BB tourney - and if there's enough interest, and I can get one or two of you Washington golfers to help me, we can put on a fun little tourney and get together; morning fishing optional. Seems like can't miss fun.

Continue with any feedback and ideas you have.

I have whacked a few balls around. No comments from the peanut gallery. Never did well, but I would love to play a round again. I noticed that in all these posts, no one even metioned fishing the water hazards. Never know what you might catch. If the course doesn't allow rods, use a Ronco rod.

I play to about a 5. I play a lot of tournys throughout the summer months, lots of team format type stuff, scrambles, best ball, chapman etc.
I belong to our lacal CC and play in its men's league, and partner scramble with the little lady on Thursday nights.
I too am a golf junky, will play 4-7 days a week April-Sept.

I have been accused of doing a lot of silly things, addiction to fishing being one of them, but never golf!

I love the game of golf. I play except when it snows or is flooding!!! I was fortunate to play my first under par round last summer (-1). The closest I have come to that previously was 2 over(+2). I would be interested in playing in some local get togethers if there were to be some put together.
