Good thread below about scramble....The real question..what formats would stop

Cheating. What formats have some of you guys played that are fair. The only one I have ever seen was the Buick Scramble (formally the Oldsmobile scramble). I put different handicaps on teams and each of the other teams had to bring a extra person w/ the team. This extra person went to another team before the start to actually mark their score. Anybody got any ideas?

Impossible. Human beings are, by nature, cheating lying scoundrels who will always find a way to help themselves at the expense of others - rules and laws be damned.

The only answer would be to make it punishable by death to cheat at golf. Even then I think you'd have those would relish the challenge of trying to get away with it.

So, you might as well save your own soul; let the others damn themselves to an eternity of golf in hell, where you are always trapped behind Mr. and Mrs. Habersham (that's a peach, honey...) and the cart girl looks like this:

Your cart girl doesn't look like that? Man that would be the hotter of the 2 girls at our course.

The "contests" (closest to the pin, long drive, ect) should have the prizes drawn at random. That way, you have less incentive to cheat.

"Closest to the pin? 6.0MP digital camera? Yep, that's our group gonna win that...."

"What, I won Nancy Lopez's driver? Uh, great....hehe....(cripes!)"

I played in a scramble a while back, well, a couple weeks back, and was shocked at the cheating. I watched the ground that brought in the winning 55 from the first tee. Would you believe that none of those drives they had got past 220, and they were all in the right rough. Now either that's some darn fine scramble golf, or I been hosed.

Oh well, it was for charity so i guess it all works, but it also makes it worse because they have no conscience.

When we have scramble's here we always play in group's of 6 or 8. Two team's together each marking the other teams cards. It's not that much slower than playing a normal 4 man round and cheating is pretty non-existant

I like ham and cheese in my scramble. Maybe a dash of green onion at the end if I'm feeling crazy.
