Golf Games

Format:  Score based on nine holes.

The Player can choose whether they wish to count Odd Number Holes or Even Number Holes for the Nine Hole Score. This can be done before, during or after the round.

Remeber you can pick up on holes you are not counting for your score.

Odd Holes:

     Front:  #1   #3   #5    # 7    #9         Back:   #11     #13     #15     #17

Even Holes:

     Front:    #2    #4    #6    #8            Back:    #10    #12    #14    #16    #18

Before tee off, choose any 2 par 5's, 2 par 3's and 5 par 4's for the game.  You may not change holes after tee off.  These 9 holes are your net score for the game.

 Use only the scores fo the holes that begin with the letters O, N, E and S.  (1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 16, 17, 18). 

Each player in succession will play the PINK ball from tee to green. Rotate the PINK around team so that a different player uses it on each hole. Put the score for PINK Ball in the Pink Ball Score Box. If you lose the PINK ball, your team is out of the game; whoever returns the PINK Ball at the end of the game, will be counted in for the game. Keep your own individual 18 hole score to post. 

Format:  Points are as follows:

     1 Point for double bogey

     2 Points for bogey

     3 Points for par

     4 Points for birdie

     6 Points for eagle

Your handicap will be subtracted from 54.  That will determine the number of points you need to be even.  You may pick up after a double bogey.  You will not get any points for anything higher than a double bogey. 

 In golf's Poker, though, you are using your golf scores to build that Poker hand. And in Poker, you are building one hand from your front nine scores, and a second hand from your back nine scores. That means any group playing Poker gets to play it twice.

3-5-5-6-4-4-5-3-4

What poker hand can you build from that? You can build a full house, fours over threes (4-4-4-3-3). Note that you also had three 5s on your front nine, but low scores are better. Also note that in Poker, you are building five-card hands, which means four holes per nine aren't going to matter for the purposes of this betting game. If your group is playing Poker as a solo game (not in combination with any other games, and not betting on the actual total scores), then you can play aggressively on every hole knowing that four holes won't matter for the game.

How do hands rank in the golf version of Poker? This is the heirarchy:

• Five of a kind
• Four of a kind
• President's Cup 6 6 6

 Presidents Cup 6/6/6

 Format:  Two players (high handicap – low handicap)

Holes 1 thru 6:  SCRAMBLE – Both players will drive the ball.  They will then go to the best drive and both will hit the next shot. They will proceed in this manner through the green (until the ball is in the cup).

 Holes 7 thru 12:  MODIFIED BEST BALL – Both players will hit drives and go to the best drive. Each player will then play their own ball through the green (until the ball is in the hole).  Take the best score of the two balls and put that on the score card.

Hole 13 thru 18:  ALTERNATE SHOT - Both players will hit drives and select the drive you want to use. The person, whose drive you did not use, will then hit the next shot.  You will continue to alternate until the ball is in the hole.  Count strokes and place on score card.

Cards will be marked for each change of format and 50% of each person’s handicap will be used.

 Play the Ball from tee through green (can pick-up at max)

You can only hold the title Queen once during the year.  If  you win the Queen play day more than once, you will be entitled to 1st place money but not the title Queen.  The runner-up (princess) will then become Queen, get parking space for the month, become elegable for play-off,  but take home 2nd place money. 

If 1st and 2nd place low net winners have both held the Queen title, continue until a non Queen winner is found.  They will be able to use the parking place, but will not receive any cash winnings. They will be elegible to participate in Queen play off.

Monthly winner will get to use the Queen Parking Space for the month they win.

Queen Play off winner will use the parking space for the remainder of the year.
