Our Best Formats for Fun Golf infographic shows you:
- How to play Skins – The game where an amount of cash is set for each hole which will keep rolling up until someone wins a hole outright. There’s no prizes for consistency here, it’s all about swooping in at the right time! At the end of the round you either cash in or pay out depending on how many skins you have.
- How to play Wolf – You need four players for this particular game. All players play independently. The goal is to be the player with the most points at the end of the round.Here’s how it works: First, the order of play is decided on the first tee. The ‘Wolf’ is always the last player to tee off. The teeing order — regardless of who has the honor — rotates on every hole so that each player becomes the Wolf once every four holes.Once each player in the group hits his or her tee shot, the Wolf decides whether or not to take any of the players on his or her team for the hole. If not, the Wolf plays the hole as the ‘Lone Wolf’ — in which case the objective is to beat the three other players with the lowest net score on the hole. Every hole is played as a net best ball with only the best score of each team being used.– If the Wolf chose a partner and they win the hole, they each receive two points
— If the non-Wolf partners win the hole, they get three points apiece
— If the Lone Wolf beats all the other players, he or she receives four points
— If the Lone Wolf gets beat by any player in the group, everyone in the group except the Lone Wolf receives one point. - How to play Daytona –If you like risky games, you’ll love this. Each team of two add their scores together, so if they both had fours the score is 44. If the scores were different then the scoring depends on how you fared to par. If one of you got a par or better you would take the lower score first. For example a 4 and 6 on a par 5 scores 46. If you are both above par, say on a par three, then you take the higher score first giving 64. The lower total takes the money, but be prepared for some big swings.
- How to play Lagging – A brilliant game if you hate putting! The scoring system here is entirely based on how close you get to the whole when all players reach the green. A great alternative to play on winter greens and will certainly make you think hard about your approach shots.
