Second, this is America, they can play where they want Third, the premise that "single digit" handicap would feel it is unfair to play against (true) 25 handicappers is false. I will win most of the time giving strokes to a high handicapper. Fourth, if it were a championship scramble, the teams would be divided into A,B,C, and D players, but not possible on a exec Fifth, I would suggest taking lessons and practicing , you might be able to join the group you oppose |

To some degree, the same thing happens on Men's Play Day. However, we are talking about $3 so who really cares. Presumably, you play because you enjoy it. If the situation is such that you don't enjoy it anymore then why play? They could, however, make some modifications to the rules. For example, require a minimum of two tee shots per player. Or they could play step aside; if your shot is selected you don't get to make the next shot (typically a putt on the executives). However, since the teams are random, everyone gets a chance to play with the better players and be on the winning team. Scrambles are all about making putts. If you want to win more then practice your putting.

Golf along with few other games are the only games you are actually playing against yourself. You have total control over course, the swing, and the thought process. It’s only you that makes bad choices or bad hits. Golf is hard due to many variables. I would suggest play the course and not worry about other players. You know the age old saying? Practice, practice, and more practice. Even then actual competition creates pressure.

I was referring to Men’s Play Day on the executive courses (weekly on Tuesdays). The OP’s post was about Ladies’ Play Day on executives. I was trying to give her some suggestions. As far as I can tell, Men’s Play Day and Ladies’ Play Day on the executive are run the same way (random teams with gross score).

As a 6 handicap (back in NC), I've always found it MORE CHALLENGING to play folks with a high handicap, BUT that is why we have a handicap system to even the playing field. Golf is such fun, ENJOY and don't sweat the small stuff.

Oh, I see. If you work hard and become proficient at something you shouldn’t be allowed to participate with those who don’t. Interesting concept.
