For some reason this idea just came to me. Any golfers here? Anyone want to have a friendly golf scramble sometime? If there's enough interest, I can make some calls and set something up. Perhaps even have prizes at the end? Reply if you're interested. I'm thinking early July perhaps?
It would definitely be a scramble if I was involved - everyone scrambling for cover when I started hacking at the ball!
I've never played before in my life, but I love going to the driving range!! Scrambled eggs sounds good... I could play and practice my Sergio 'waggle'!!
I was just thinking of the same thing yesterday! I'm in, let me know ahead of time and any weekday would work. Although if only a weekend works for people thats fine, its just so damn crowded in this town on the weekends What course ya thinking about?
Early July would work great for me, but late July I'll be out of town. Weekends are great for me, and weekdays are not a good option for me. A CC.net golf scramble would be a blast if you can pull it off. B
Pulling this to top. Let's get some more response! The place I was thinking is Houston Oaks Links course. I played there in a scramble a month ago, and it was fantastic! Beautiful course, well-maintained. I just got an email from the guy who organized it for us. He said it was $27 a person (with carts/18 holes) but they required 16. I imagine I could get them to work with me on a good group rate. Lately I've been playing at Steven F. Austin State Park out near Sealy. It's a very nice course, and not particularly crowded (at least when I've been). Any other great places?
I've never been to Houston Oaks, but that sounds reasonable, I wouldn't go for anything past 27bucks a round, I'm just not that good! We don't even have to have a scramble per se, we could just have a few groups of four and take it from there. We could play "greenies" or closest to the pin on the par threes for a buck each and so on. I usually play these courses: Brock- on the East loop. VERY CHEAP and damn near empty during the weekdays. About 12 bucks to walk weekday... a chump course for basic golf. Shot a 84 as my best there. Glenn Brook - Off 45 near U of H. $23.50 for 18holes & Cart on the weekend. I imagine it would be a little cheaper on the weekday. A bit more challenging course. I've shot 87 as my best Gus Wortham - Exit Wayside, in the Eastend. A cheap municipal course that plays long. I think it was 18bucks during the week w/cart...I think. 86 was my best round HCC Pasadena - Way the f*ck near Beltway south. Cheapest golf I've ever played, 8bucks for unlimited holes (ITs a 9 hole CHUMP course), only walking, no carts. No Frills. 34 on 9 holes was my best... As I said, we don't need a full blown scramble group, I'd be happy with 2 or 3 groups of 4. Lets give this thread a few days and take it from there. I'm for sure, though! BTW, if its a weekend, Saturday is best for me.
Green Meadows out in Katy is an interesting course to play. It's like $23 to walk on the weekend. I play the West course (long and open) there mostly. The East course is short and treed.
Sounds great! I'll start calling around and see what I can get set up for a Saturday or Sunday in early July. More details as they come.
