re: If you played a 1 man scramble at the Masters, would you still finish dead last?

Im starting to doubt you played college golf. College golfers and good local scratch guys would dominate the putting and chipping with a scramble.

This is probably an overstatement IMO. Great college golfers and elite local scratch guys may be competitive with a scramble. Some may excel, a few would dominate.

The scramble is obviously a massive advantage, but a lot of it will be washed out by the extreme gulf between the college golfer's competitive/mental game and the pros', and the huge difference in playing tournament Augusta setup vs. college/club tourney setups.

at anyone who thinks they could beat crenshaw at the masters playing 2 balls ...

no one on this board could break 100 playing a 1-man scramble ...

I played college golf at University or Arizona, played professionally for a while, played in a U.S. Amatuer...

Give me two swings every time around any course and I'm breaking par more often than not. I would be nervous sure... But I get two swings and two putts every time. I think I would be in the hunt on sunday
