I was supposed to play in a golf tournament yesterday put on by a local Twin Peaks benefiting the Tunnels To Towers foundation. I was given other plans by Dallas County however - had jury duty on Tuesday and was picked for a jury.

Texted my buddy to see how the tournament went, and he said some clowns posted a 39, which was 11 strokes lower than the second place team. He said everyone was screaming "BS" when they were called up, and they challenged anyone to play them for $1,000 a hole. They did have mulligans and string (stupidest thing ever in my opinion) that you could buy, but seriously ?!? Posting a -36 means you eagle every hole and by default ace every par 3 - a 39 is only 3 strokes off that.

I know this topic has been discussed many times, but I can't remember every hearing a posted score that low. What kind of ******bag do you have to be to post a score like that, especially in a charity tournament ?

I feel your pain, I played in a 4 man Florida scramble last week and the winning team all turned in 30 handicaps and shot a gross score of 65! I forget what their net score was but just another bunch of sandbaggers on an ego trip!

How does the string work?

like a poker game with deuces, 4's, 9's, one eyed jacks and suicide kings wild

When you are playing in a charity scramble, you have to ignore players like this, and just remember where the money is going. I've never played in a charity tourney that didn't have bs scores.

When Tony Barone used to put his gold tournament on at Pebble Creek, you could buy a book of mulligans, strings and Throws. Unlimited Beer and BBQ. Probably not an honest score on the course.

100%

Guys who buy unlimited strings and mulligans need em.....cause they suck.

Too many jeans wearing "golfers" with "winning" trophies of scrambles behind their "desks"

I stopped paying to play in scrambles a long time ago.

It's a Charity Golf Tournament!!!
The Best Golf Team Never Wins!!
Give our team a few cases of Shiner Bock long necks and we will be Happy!! Might even get drunk enough to shoot -36 under par!! Hole in one on a par 5 kind of scoring with all the strings attached!!

Go play in 2 man Best Ball, Alternate Shot formats if you want good competition with a better chance of less cheating.

Cheating in a scramble? Say it isn't so!!

It makes every putt good! If your putt is 3 inches short your supposed to cut 3 inches off the 2 foot string then you count the putt as good as if you made it.

Nobody has scissors, 2 feet becomes 50.

Putting no longer matters…. On green 1 putt…

People who cheat in a scramble make me laugh. Like you really care that much about "winning"? It is suppose to be fun, a reason to drink way too much on a weekday, and miss an afternoon of work.

But if you are going to give out prizes, use a little common sense on the scoring. If someone turns in a 39, rip up the scorecard and tell them to have a nice day. I don't care if you have a team of Rory, Rahm, Thomas, and Morikawa, it's not possible to shoot a 39.

I am suspect of teams that turn in -18 and anything lower than that shouldn't be counted for any prizes.
