No golf shoes, are tennis shoes ok? Is a polo with a fleece ok?
All advice gladly accepted.

Tennis shoes are acceptable most places. Polos are okay as well. Most of the courses I play at allow a fleece pullover also. To be on the safe side a warm wool sweater is a bit better though. As for how well you play, a scramble is a format where everyone hits their shot. Then the team selects the best shot and plays their next shot from there until the ball is holed out. Often the weakest player need do nothing more than make a putt, or have the only ball in the faieway. "Long is not always the best shot". As an example, I played in one, where the tee shot on one hole involved a carry of about 225 yards over a lake. I knew I couldn't hit it that far in the air, so I told the 3 stronger palyes to hit and I'd play the next shot with them. All 3 hit their balls into the lake. The womens tees were 70 yards in front of us, so instead of steeping up and hitting my ball in the lake, I took a "Lob Wedge" and hit the ball onto the womens tees. From there we were able to hit across the lake, and made par. If I had hit into the lake we would have bogeyed at best. We wound up winning by that One stroke that I, the weakest player saved. So you don't have to be the best to contribute. No matter what, have fun, and knock em dead with that kilt.
