| The same
competitive games you normally
play during a round of golf
with your buddies can also
be played with Card
Golf. Listed below are
some of the more popular
games you can play during
a round of golf.
| Nassau: |
The
Nassau is three
bets in one: low
score on the front
nine, low score
on the back nine
and low score over
the full 18. The
$2 Nassau is perhaps
the most common
bet among golf buddies.

| Round
Robin: |
Round Robin, also
known as Hollywood
or Sixes, is a betting
game for groups
of four that involves
two members of the
foursome teaming
up against the other
two. The catch is
that partners rotate
every six holes.
|
| Skins:
|
A
skins game pits players
in a type of match
play in which each
hole has a set value
(usually in money
or points). The player
who wins the hole
is said to win the
"skin,"
and whatever that
skin is worth. When
players tie on a given
hole, the value of
that hole is carried
over and added to
the value of the following
hole. The more ties,
the greater the value
of the skin and the
bigger the eventual
payoff. For example,
a friendly skins game
might be played for
$1 per hole. If three
holes in a row are
played without a winner,
then the fourth hole
is worth $4 ($1 for
its own value, plus
a dollar for each
hole that carries
over).
|
| Wolf:
|
Wolf
is one of the classic
golf betting games
for groups of four,
but it gets a little
complicated. Players
rotate as the "Wolf."
On each hole, the
player designated
as the Wolf has to
choose whether to
play 1 against 3,
or 2 on 2; and if
2 on 2, then the Wolf
has to choose a partner.
The Wolf can win or
lose more money by
going it alone.
|
| Acey
Ducey: |
Acey
Ducey is a bet in
which there is a winner,
two modest losers,
and one big loser
on each hole. It's
a game for groups
of four, obviously.
The low scorer on
each hole wins a certain
amount from each of
the other three players;
while the high scorer
on each holes owes
each of the other
three.
