Are there enough golfers (hackers welcome) to do a Columbus Underground Golf Scramble, followed by a cookout somewhere? Has this ever been done in the past?
I know myself and a few of my friends who are on here would be willing to participate. With plenty of time to plan, we could possibly do something in one of the fall months.
Ideas or thoughts anyone?

I'm an ok golfer, in a scramble situation I'd probably be tolerable. I can occasionally blast a few huge drives and am pretty good with a 3-9 iron. can't putt for shit though. If there's beer, I could pull it off.
color me surprised. you really are a renaissance man.

ahh, my dad was a golf coach at Grove City & I grew up with a driving range in our backyard, and a 9-hole course where we used 9-irons to hit various trees and poles. This explains my skills with driving and irons, as well as my total inability to get off the green with less than 3 putts.
are renaissance men actually supposed to be GOOD at a bunch of shit? I'm mediocre at quite a few activities but have yet to excel at anything.

When others say they're bad at golf, I interpret that to mean you lack in talent or skill. When I say I'm bad at golf, I mean that I go about it in a way that is so amateur and ill practiced that it would most likely annoy even the suckiest player.
That said, I'd love anything like a potluck-ish cookout. I have few skills, but any chance to cook and bring food would be great.

Well, the neat thing about the "scramble" approach is that say, 4 golfers on a team hit their shots. The best shot is selected & then the next 4 shots are made from that point on (hopefully) the fairway, and continuing on with that approach until the hole is finished. This allows a round to be played with quite a few people in a pretty short amount of time, with minimal humiliation for those that truly suck. So even if you blow chunks, no one is angrily waiting around for you to wrap up your 18 over par on hole 3…it'll be done in way less time than that. You just may never get the honor of having the best shot, which probably won't be a blow to your ego. Just be sure & carry a few sleeves of extra balls with you!
