What's you favorite golf betting game?

[aquarich]

I am always looking for ways to make golf interesting. Not looking to take someone's (or lose mine) mortgage money, but just a fun way to keep things interesting. I carry the animal game in my bag, but usually only play that once or twice a year. Wolf is another favorite. Anyone have anything different than your run of the mill nassau?

Match play. We play teams of four. We take the 3 best scores added together and play against 3 other foursomes. Low score wins the whole. I play with the same guys every Saturday and Sunday. You can win three whole dollars playing with us. Don't spend it all in one place. :laugh:

Bingo, Bango, Bongo is a fun one to play. Can explain later if the google machine doesn't offer what you seek.

That actually does sound like a fun game, and really doesn't exclude any skill level.

Wolf is great!

On each hole, a new guy is the "wolf", who gets to see each drive and select his team mate for that hole.

However, if the guy hits his drive, and is not selected, then you can not select him after the others have hit.

You can also choose to go the hole alone and play best ball against the other three...

Makes for some very interesting dynamics in the group!

thanks for postin the link...was on my phone half asleep when I posted that last night. It really is a nice game for when you have varying skill sets....as most 4somes will have.

Animals. Thats my favorite.

I've never played Animal, but that sounds like fun. My favorite is Round Robin (6-6-6) or whatever you call it, followed by Wolf.

Yeah, we call it 6-6-6 too. Don't know what the real name is

I like wolf. Big money happens there.

Poison is a great game if you are on a course that is playing slow (i.e. any Vegas course, or any Phoenix course during tourist season).

My brother-in-law and I are kind of rules sticklers so this link doesn't quite do the game justice... but it is a great way to kill time while waiting on the tee box.

Sure is! Really kills the time when the group in front of you is playing slow. Loser has to finish their beer before they tee off...
