Have a ball with The Scramble Scoop

The Scramble Scoop is one of the more odd golf products I’ve ever received to review.
But that doesn’t mean the scoop doesn’t work. It’s just got a very small niche in the world of golf.

The Scramble Scoop is a ball retriever specifically made to be used in a scramble. If you’re a short hitter, you’re probably tired of stopping the cart at your ball to bend down and pick it up. It’s embarrassing enough to have hit a poor shot that won’t be used in competition, but the humiliation is just part of the problem. Years of bending down to pick up these shots can wipe out your back.

If you’re like me, one wrong bend can put you out of the tournament altogether. The Scramble Scoop is designed to make hitting the bad shot fun, or at least easier to deal with.

Without stopping, you can go whizzing by in a cart and gobble up your ball with the scooper. The handle of the scooper can be lengthened or shortened with a few twists. It almost becomes a game within the game to scoop up all the shots in one pass without dropping any.

For $16.95, it’s an affordable gizmo that will become a conversation piece among your foursome during those long waits between holes that are so common in scrambles.
