What if the second-place prize was better than first? That would make things interesting.
Once played where the host swapped prizes because the winners cheated. We got the better prize.

There’s a scramble where the seventh place gets the best prize to discourage cheating.
Even the cheaters weren’t good enough to win!
How did you ensure no one cheated?
Celebrating no cheating in a scramble!
Scoring -11 in a greenskeeper’s revenge? Sounds like someone must have bent the rules.

We played under strict conditions and scored -7 to come in second. It’s possible without cheating, just need a strong team.

Must be some lenient greenskeepers then!

The course isn’t that tough, and the par 5s were reachable. We had mid to low handicappers and managed -6.

Either that or the course is super easy. Hard setups don’t usually see scores that low.
@Misha
We played a tough course and managed -11 with strategic plays and some luck on our side.

Absolutely, it was one of our best games.
Playing in a three-man scramble with two teams checking each other’s scores is the best way to minimize cheating.

Absolutely agree. Having fewer players on each team also introduces more challenge and excitement.
In my experience, no-gimmick scrambles usually see winning scores in the -11 to -15 range.
Most scrambles I play in allow for mulligans and other advantages which can lead to unbelievably low scores.

We keep it clean and fair, no funny business.
Just played a scramble where the winners were way over par. It’s rare but it happens.
Our greenskeeper takes his revenge all year with tough course conditions!
