Even the Playing Field!

Instead of "giving strokes" the next time you are playing golf try this format. It is especially fun when playing in a foursome where there is a difference in handicaps. Young golfers can catch on quickly, and everyone has a chance of getting "points." We have set up the points in a table form so you can print it out and carry it with you. It is a variation of other games but it is easy to score. Everyone keeps track of their own points. You announce how many "points" you got after each hole. This relieves any embarrassment if someone had a high score. The player just announces his 'points." At the end of the round players total their points and pay off the winner. The Payment can be a round of drinks, a quarter, or any agreed upon award. (We are not encouraging gambling in any way!)
SCORING:
•1 POINT - DRIVE IN FAIRWAY
•1 POINT - ONE PUTT
•1 POINT - BOGEY
•2 POINTS - PAR
•2 POINTS - LAND ON GREEN PAR 3
•3 POINTS - BIRDIE
•3 POINTS - CHIP-IN
