Now that golf season is in full swing, we're also in the middle of another golf season. Every association has a golf outing, and nine out of ten times that outing is a scramble. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't enjoy my fair share of scrambles. In fact, I would venture to say that I play more of this type than of traditional golf, and I usually have a great time while I'm at it. The problem is that there are too many people out there who take these things way too seriously.
Some people enter the events with the sole purpose of winning.
It's not about supporting the association, it's all about taking home a prize. There are actually people out there who are professional scramblers. They have put together a team of golf specialists, and they are going to play in any event they can find. They have the big hitter off the tee, the guy with the great short game, and the deadly putter. When these people find your event, you've got no chance.
