The Solo Scramble
Why this drill
Scramble format — two balls, always play the better position, both balls from there — produces the round your best decisions and best swings would build together. As practice it teaches aggressive lines with a safety net, and shows how good the course lets you be.
Setup
An empty course, two balls, nine holes. Scramble rules against the card: par is the opponent.
The drill
Both balls off the tee, walk to the better one, play both from that spot, and so on into the hole — first make counts on the green. Because the net exists, take the aggressive line you'd normally decline: the corner carry, the tucked flag, the putt run at instead of lagged. That's the drill — rehearsing commitment with the cost removed, so the swing learns what committed feels like. Score against par; most bogey golfers flirt with level, and the memory of aggressive swings that worked outlasts the format.
One thought to take with you
Pick the brave line and swing like the second ball doesn't exist.
