Isnt the point of flighting tournaments by handicap to put players of each skill level together so they can compete against players of their own talent? Why in the hell then would you play NET scores within your flight?

Not so long ago there was a poster here saying that if you weren't the 7 'cap coming in one under and in the money, then you were a vanity capper! Is a member of your club ?!!? A 3 should dismantle a 7 gross and head to head. Sound like you belong in different flights to me.

I feel your pain. I am playing in a handicapped match play event. I am a 5 handicap. I shot 74 and lost in first round to a 12 that shot 78. I won the second round because I got ahot putter and played the best round in 8 years - shot a 69 - a match that I only won 1 up against a 10.

This is the exact reason that I play very few events at my club as well. Everything is net based and, truth be told, I hate net golf.

I remember back when I was stationed in San Diego, I was part of the Miramar Mens Club. There was always one or two people that would post just enough scores to keep their handicap high, then come and play the club championship (we had low gross and net scores) and completely blow the net scores out of the water.

If prizes and things of monetary value are awarded to only gross and not net tournaments, the sandbaggers will go away. They aren't going to spend the time padding their caps just for a trophy.

I am hosting a 4 person scramble this weekend to raise some money for a local church. It is just a fun scramble. I am looking to see if any one can help me with the scoring at the end of the tournament. We will have 26 teams and would like to do an A and B flight.
David in FL
The only way I've ever seen a scramble flighted would be by total handicap of the individual teams. Flights are determined before the tournament though, not after... It's possible that a B flight team will post a better score than a A flight team. Welcome to the site! Stick around! :beer:
Murie51
Thank you for your response David. I appreciate it. So with this tournament we will not have handicaps. So should I then just split the field in half? Put 13 in A flight and 13 in B flight?
brianmcg
How we do our scramble is we do a blind draw of nine holes. The teams will be flighted by the score they have on those nine holes. Basicall you split the field in half based off those scores. Or you can just pick front side or back side, but make sure not to tell anyone how you will be picking.
dfreuter415
Scrambles are tough to handicap, due to the variables on the team. One team might have 4 single digit handicappers, while another team might be golfers who only play twice a year. I think that you have several good ideas posted here.

Positioning The Byes
- Of course there is still a certain layout to the brackets, you can't just place byes in the place of your choice. This all revolves around the seeding of teams. We suggest visiting our home pageas we already have all bracket layouts pre-designed. The bracket numbers mentioned at the top are all "perfect brackets" meaning that each subsequent round will have exactly half the teams as th…
Fairness of Byes
- I've received multiple emails that say it is not fair that teams get to skip the first round and they want a bracket that has all teams playing in the first round. If you were to do this, you would just create byes in multiple rounds of the tournament, not to mention you would have one messy looking bracket. Example: 10 Teams in the first round would leave 5 teams in the second round. …
