What games do you play, when playing golf with your weekend golf partners

October 22, 2011

I have been playing golf for 30+ years and getting tired of the same games while playing with my weekend golf buddies. We always try to find some game to play to make bets on but after 15,20 times of playing that game, the group starts looking for something new. I have been on the internet and printed out most everything I could find, most of which we already play. MY QUESTION to this group is this: What games do you and your buddies play and how does it work? You will need to be a little detailed so that I can print them out and put this in the bag for consideration.

These would be game most golfers never heard of because we have already played all the normal games. Different forms of the Stableford system, Wolf, Rotating Scrambles, First on – First in, etc. We have played all these.

Right now our groups consist of golfers who score from 75 to 125, so finding something that is fair to all it twice as hard. Thanks.

We always play a team “pops” game where everyone on a team (a twosome out of a foursome) gets a pop when one player gets a pop. You get pops for birdies, sandy pars, puts longer than a pole length, on a par 5 in two, greenies, etc. It’s important to use a handicap to even things out. Decide the value for a pop and add them up at the end of the round.
The fun is that every three holes, we toss up balls to decide new teams.

I played golf for 20 years, with the associated game a lot, but I especially like to play golf games, and now I rank the top three results is, I have the IPAD and IPHONE golf game, if you are interested, we can networking play
