Scramble Tournament at Indian Creek
This afternoon, I played in a scramble tournament at Indian Creek Golf Club on the Lakes course. The weather was sunny and warm, with a slight breeze on a couple of holes. We played from the blue tees. My team won the tournament with a score of 60 (12 under par)!!! We went off on a shotgun start off the 16th hole. We were lucky in that there wasn’t another team on the 17th or 18th hole, so we were able to play about 6 or 7 holes before we caught up with the group ahead of us that started on the first tee. The most exciting hole for me was third hole, on which we made an eagle (that’s a first for me). We made 10 birdies, 1 eagle and 7 pars. This is by far the best scramble team I’ve been on.
Our score:
| Hole | 01 | 02 | 03 | 04 | 05 | 06 | 07 | 08 | 09 | Out |
| Par | 4 | 4 | 5 | 3 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 4 | 36 |
| Score | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 30 |
| Hole | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | In | Total |
| Par | 4 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 3 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 36 | 72 |
| Score | 3 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 30 | 60 |
This tournament was four person teams, however, our fourth player did not show, so we rotated hitting the fourth ball between us. My contribution to the team score were: four drives that were the best on the team, three approach shots that were closest to the pin, and one 2nd shot on a par-5. I didn’t hit a single birdie putt, though. Both of my teammates were better players than me, so I was happy to contribute where I did. We hit all 18 greens in regulation, and two of the par-5 holes in two. This is the first time I’ve been on a winning team in a scramble event, and the first time that none of my putts mattered.
