The miracle back nine!!
The sandy scramble
Setting: Red tees. Scramble format. Threesomes.
Team 1: Wade, Coach and Raggio
Team 2: Dalhed, Lyle and Riva
Conditions: Sanded greens, temperature in the low 70s, and almost no one on the course!
Team 2 (over beer) explained that their putters simply would not cooperate. Time and again they shaved the hole, but nothing wanted to drop. They reported only one birdie on the front 9.
Team 1 also had only one birdie on the front side, and that was on the first hole. “Let’s just birdie the whole back 9,” Raggio proposed. The chuckles were dismissive, but chuckles nonetheless.
What happened in the next hour and twenty minutes will go down in Wade Group history: a threesome proceeded to shoot 29 on the back nine, birdie-ing 7 of 9 holes. All three players contributed equally and made putts from different counties!
The game was fun for all! The record for a White-Tee Scramble is 6. Now we have a Red-Tee record: 8.
More Scrambles, please!
