Scramble events have long been a bone of contention in golf. How well-policed the handicaps – and counting – are of certain participants has left many a little sceptical of the team ambrose format.

The latest low round to hit our desk has only reinforced the notion that one must indeed be careful of getting your clock cleaned by crooks at club events.

There’s always that one group that posts an outrageous number, but this is the most egregious example that we’ve ever seen:

A 46! LOL. C’mon, now. And to add one extra dagger, a 47 was crossed out and changed to that final outlandish number.

Either there were a lot of generous gives or there were some seriously sketchy handicaps involved. We hope they enjoyed their pro shop credit.

Actually, no we don’t.
