It‘s not a new format by any means, it‘s been used for years, but its popularity is increasing around these parts for several reasons. By using the best shot of the group‘s four shots on each occasion, it plays on the strengths of individual performance while minimizing the deficencies. It is designed to speed play, is a great equalizer for company and chariâ€" ty events, and allows even the most ordinary hackers (over here, over here) the chance to dream that should they all as a foursome put it together on the same day, they can challenge with the best of them. That‘s what happened to our group last year. That‘s because of a tournament format that is all the craze in the Golden Triangle these days, com:â€" monly known as The Scramble. Golf season coming to fore© z_ Now, in every Scramble tournaâ€" ment, someone has to finish last, right? Our group has virtually perfected the art. The proverbial $45 dinner, that‘s us. We‘d get phone calls from tournament orâ€" ganizers: "Hey, our field is almost full,â€" but no one has agreed to finish last â€" can you guys make it over to Victoria Park East on the weekend?" And of course, dreamers that we were, we‘d say "count us in," We‘re ready. e â€" / // Nes "A picturesque par 72 course \,,,7. situated along the Grand River®" * Reserved Tee Times * Green Fee Play & Individual Memberships Doon Valley, 500 Doon Valley Drive: 653â€"1577 _ â€" Rockway, 625 Rockway Drive: 741â€"2585 KITCHENER PARKSâ€"AND RECREATION]) '{)Owned by The City of Kitchener and operated by then dutifully stumble in at â€"2 to finish â€" you guessed it â€" 36th in a field of 36 teams. Except one time. A charity event, middle of last summer, when the boys came alive. Smooth Ralphie, who‘s the best money golfer in our group, had his stroke down pat. Great drives, putted the lights out. Vic the Fix, who every time out brings a cure for his last game‘s weakness, only to discover a new one each time, put it in the jar from the parking lot on four or five occasions. And Jimmy Numbers who can tell you what score he had last July 18, how many yards, feet and inches it is to the hole from the middle of the fairway, and what seore we‘ll need each time to avoid finishing last, well, hot as a pistol around the rug. I managed to butcher it a lot less than usual as well, and lo and behold, a thirdâ€"place finish. We got to the prize table to pick, not just look on with envy. A first. So for the rest of the year, we thought we were worldbeaters. Made it easy for tournament organizers looking for someone to finish last. We‘d sign up without even asking. And finish south, facing north, with stupid smiles on our face. GOLF IN THE CITY ROCKWAY "A scenic and mature par 70 course conveniently located downtown"‘. DOON VALLEY Because we‘re hackers.
