Re: Strokes in a scramble
[ QUOTE ]
One equalizer is to back up a set of tees when you birdie, and move up a set of tees if you par (bogey?).

I instituted this rule for our annual golf outing upstate and it was a huge hit. Birdie moves back, par or worse moves up. We had two twelve-man teams and decided to put the best players with each other and the worst players together too, so the shot contribution would be as close to 25% per man as possible. The group of the worst guys actually regressed all the way up to the ladies tees on a couple of occasions, which led to some ridiculously short holes as I think the course we played has five sets of tees.
Anyway, it was a lot of fun and went a long way to offsetting what little handicap disparity existed between them and the group they wear playing heads-up.
