Golf Help!

Scrambles are definitely fun to play in regardless of your skill level. If you have 1 person who is consistently decent on a group of 4 you'll play fairly well regardless of what the other 3 do.

Last year I played in one and the three guys playing with me all worked for the same Co. and all had to work and backed out. I had to scramble to find a team. I had a kid who was 21 and played little golf, a lady who plays ok, and an older guy who was getting up in age and just an OK golfer. After 9 holes we were 10 under par with a whole lot of luck in the mix. The bad news was that it pourd down ran so we never got the chance to finish the round and they just raffled off the prizes. Also alot of these thing get flighted after all the score cards are turned in so everyone has a chance to win something.

You could play as bad as you can tomorrow and it has to be better then reading some of these threads and post.

speak.......for yourself...........

Don't have golf shoes, any suggestions for appropriate shoes?

Also, any suggestions on number of tees/balls to take?

Stay medium.

Talk to your compadres for shoes. You can probably get away with your favorite tennis shoes. Some better courses get a little finicky about people o the greens without "golf shoes" but you should be ok. If your boys are not familiar with the course and rules, call the club house at the course and ask.
You can buy a bag of tee's at the course if need, they are cheap. If I were you, I would take a dozen balls....maybe a few more if possible. AND, if possible, get some "range balls", or previously owned balls, used? You are going to lose a few if there is ANY substancial wooded area's or water hazards. You DO NOT want to be losing balls all day a $2 a hit? Much better to lose used balls @ .25.....

As Hog1 said, comfortable tennis shoes will be fine. If you have time, hit up your local sporting goods store and buy a bag of tees for less than $3. While you're there, get yourself a box of golf balls (no need to get anything expensive, don't pay more than $20 for a dozen+) then once you hit the club house, hit up the used ball bin and get yourself another 6-12.

If anything, ask your buddies if you can borrow tees instead of buying them there at the course. I usually carry a spare bag of tees just to have extra.

Well, looks like my trip is canceled. I setup to meet this guy for some clubs this morning and he didn't show and the course doesn't rent them. Craigslist failed me. Oh well, gives me some time to get some clubs and practice.
