Wolf
|
|
Format: Team
and/or Individual
Number
of Players: Four
Wolf
begins on the first tee with players in a foursome establishing an order
of play. Players will rotate that same order throughout the round - in
other words, if you hit 1st on #1, you'll hit 2nd on #2, 3rd on #3, and
so on. The player teeing off first is the Wolf. The players take turns
playing the Wolf based on the rotation of the established tee off order.
After
teeing off, the Wolf has the following options:
1)
Choose one of the other three players as a partner for the hole based
on the results of their tee shots, or
2)
Play the hole alone against the other three players.
For
example, the Wolf tees off first. Then, the second player in the rotation
tees off. Based on the results of the second players drive, the Wolf has
the option to select the second player as a partner or pass. Once the
third player hits their tee shot, the second player is no longer eligible
as a partner for the Wolf. Likewise, once the fourth player hits their
drive, the third player is no longer eligible as a partner for the Wolf.
After
the fourth player tees off, the Wolf must select the fourth player as
a partner for the hole, or play the hole alone against the other three
players. Wolf can be played low ball or low total.
Points
are earned as follows:
- Winning
team: 2 points each player
- Wolf
wins playing alone: 3 points
- Wolf
loses playing alone: 2 points each for all other players

| Scramble |
|
Format:
Team
Number
of Players: 2, 3, 4
Scrambles
are the all time favorite team game for special events and tournaments.
Four member teams are the most common, but a scramble can also be played
with two or three players per team.
In
a scramble, each player tees off and the best drive is selected. The other
team members will move their balls to the spot of the chosen drive and
all players hit their second shot from this location. The best second
shot is selected and the procedure is repeated until the ball is holed
out.
Long
drivers are beneficial to a team in this game, but short game skills are
also necessary for posting competitive scores. Since putting plays a big
part in a scramble, every player on a team has an opportunity to contribute.

Format:
Individual
Number
of Players:2, 3 or 4
Bingo,
Bango, Bongo allows players to be competitive regardless of the differences
in handicaps.
Each
hole has three points available. Any monetary value desired may be assigned
to each point. Points are earned as follows:
- Bingo
- 1st ball on the green = 1 point
- Bango
- Closest to the pin after everyone is on the green =
1 point

- First ball in the hole = 1 point
The
player that is the furthest away must play first.
This
is an excellent game to play for groups with a wide range of handicaps.
High handicappers may do well if they have a good short game as good chipping
or bunker play will keep them competitive for that second point (Bango).

| Las Vegas |
|
Format:
Team
Number
of Players: 4
Las
Vegas begins with the foursome splitting into 2 teams - one twosome
against the other. On each hole, the players on each team combine
their net scores to make the lowest possible two-digit number. The
betting points awarded per hole is determined by the difference
between the two team scores.
For
example, if on Team A, one player scores a 4 and the other makes
a 5, the scores would be combined and their collective score would
be 45. If Team B’s score was 55 (a 5 and a 5) then Team A would
win the hole by 10 points.

Number
of Players: 2, 3, 4, more>
Nassau
is one of the most popular gambling games on the golf course. A Nassau
is made up of three matches. The front nine holes make up the first match,
the back nine the second and the 18 hole total makes up the third.
The
point value assigned to each match is equal and is determined prior to
the round. For example, a "10-10-10" would indicate a $10 bet
on the front nine, a $10 bet on the back, and a $10 bet on the entire
18 holes.
