Absolutely! The excitement of spring golf makes participation much higher. Plus, evening events in summer can be a blast!
I also think every golf course’s layout matters, especially if it has challenging holes. My friend organized a scramble at a tough course, and it took us way longer than expected—around 6 hours!
True, @thomasmartin! It’s important to factor in the skill levels of the participants too. Less experienced teams tend to take more time, so maybe staggered tee times could help with overall pace.
That’s a great suggestion! But it could also lead to confusion. Just make sure everyone knows the plan to avoid chaos!
@muellerscott, chaos could ensue, but it would make for some great stories! I guess it all comes down to how well you communicate the rules beforehand.
And let’s not forget about snacks and drinks! Keeping everyone well-fed will definitely make the day more enjoyable and might influence participation too.

So true! Who’s going to want to play on an empty stomach? Perhaps we should schedule in a lunch break for longer scrambles!
I think a lunch break could be fun, but might extend the event too much. It’s a balance of running on a tight schedule and keeping it relaxed, right?
Exactly, @uhatfield! There’s always that issue. But I think scrambles are meant to be more chill. Who has ever complained about too much golf?

Haha, true! Who would ever complain? I’m curious about those golf scramble events that go viral—what do they do differently to attract more players?
