4-Man Scramble... 44... What? How?

Yeah someone should have called BS on that. That's bogus. Took a moron to think that would fly and a bigger moron to let it fly!

48/44 didn't happen. I played in some unlimited string tournaments and even then those kind of scores would have been nearly impossible. 50 is pretty much the limit there. I'm hoping that you didn't just let it happen, and someone made a stink about it.
I was coming back to say the same thing.... this stinks even more that 2nd was a 48.

I would agree that 44 is would be really unlikely, but I did shoot a 48 with a team in a 4-man about 4-5 months ago. Granted, not really comparing apples to apples in this case. The course is only 6100 yards on the boxes they hold the tournaments on(white tees). We have a guy that absolutely bombs it(have watched him 2 yards short of a 298 yd lasered carry), and even crazier, he hits it straight. We have a second guy, that is not far behind, but can also drive it off the planet. Realistically, with that length, we should not be playing from those tees. On top of that, it was a fund-raiser tournament, so we had string, mulligans, "throws", and all that other craziness. As an example, I hit to about 4 feet on a 160ish yard par 3, we took my "throw", and basically dropped it in the hole for a net "1". Between that one and lying one around the green, chipping close for 2, and then using string, I thing we eagled 2 or three par 4's that tournament. Like I say, not a 1:1 comparison as both the course/rules seems like they were different, but a 48 is possible. 44, yeah, that would be pretty amazing as I don't think we really left anything on the table to even be able to think we "could" have gotten to a 44.

Depends on the # of throws and string length given. My buddy shot 49 with a bunch of hackers......LOL

I would've called for an immediate 3 hole match to show that off.

Turns out it was 3 wrxers and a random person. They had to use 8 of his shots which is why they didn't shoot 36.

Played in a 4-man scramble today, on a very challenging course. Add gusting winds to that and we weren't sure that any groups would break 60.

But the winning group turned in a 44? What? How is this even possible? I know a scramble isn't always the strictest rules, but seriously? Why would the tournament organizers even allow them to turn in such a score?

What was paid out for 1st place?
