🏁And...rounding out our 10 days of Awesome Golf Games....may we introduce The Dude!

Players: 2+

Level: Advanced

How to Play: Spin a tee to start and determine the order. Player one is The Dude on hole one, player two is the Dude on hole two, and so on. On each hole all players tee off and then the Dude plays a second ball that is distinguishable from the first ball. The Dude plays both golf balls through the hole and his or her lower net score from the two balls will go against the low net score from the other two players. When you're the Dude, you have twice the chance to win, making it fun because we all know that "second shot" is always better.

⚾ Baseball (aka 9 Point)

Players: 3

Level: Beginner

How to Play: Each hole has nine points available. The lowest net score gets five points, the next lowest gets three and the highest gets one point. If there is a tie for the low score, the point distribution would be 4-4-1: a tie for high score would be 5-2-2 and a three-way tie would be 3-3-3.

🚢Captain! Perfect for 3 Players.

Players: 3

Level: Beginner

How to Play: Spin a tee before you start your round of golf to get the order of the group (first, second, third). The first player tees off on hole number one and is the Captain for the first three holes. Player one competes against the other two players for a low net match. Then holes four to six, the second player becomes the Captain and so on for 9 or 18 holes. You can make each match worth whatever you like with this format.

♣️ Skins! A betting game for all.

Players: 2+

Level: Beginner

How to Play: A betting game for all! Skins is a game where prize money is played for on every hole. For each hole, assign a point-value or dollar amount, so that each player in the group puts in an undetermined amount for the "kitty." As always, the lowest score wins the skin, but if another player ties for a hole, the skin carries over into the next hole. The player that wins the hole outright is the winner of the skin and any others that were carried over from previous holes. What's awesome about this game is that even you have a rough start, but win a hole later on in the game, you get all the skins that have carried over.

🏌️The ever popular Best Ball.

Players: 4+

Level: Beginner

How to Play: One of the most popular games to play starts with two-person teams with each player playing out his or her golf ball. This game format is most notably seen displayed in the biennial professional men's golf competition, the Ryder Cup, where teams from the United States compete against teams from Europe. After every hole, the lowest score will be recorded by the team and counted towards the overall team tally. The highest score is thrown out!

Pro Tip: Take handicaps into consideration, so that the weaker players received strokes on some holes. This game is also great to speed up a game, as it becomes clear that a player will not have the best ball for a hole, allowing them to pick up, thus speeding up the game.

🐇🐇 Rabbit. A variation of the popular Skins game.

Players: 2+

Level: Advanced

How to Play: First off, decide if you will do two 9 hole bets or the full 18 hole bet. In this game, the first player to have the lowest score on a hole – with or without handicaps – captures the Rabbit. No ties are allowed here, and on the next hole, another player other than the holder of the Rabbit receives the lowest score. The Rabbit is then set loose. On each hole, every player has an opportunity to capture the Rabbit, but only after it has been set free by another player. While there are many variations of this game, they all operate under the same point: the Rabbit is captured by the first player to win a hole outright. That player then holds onto the Rabbit as long as no one else wins a hole outright.

6️⃣ Sixes! Also known as Round Robin or Hollywood.

Players: 4

Level: Beginner

How to Play: Every six holes, you rotate the playing partner, and after 18 holes, the other three players should have at one point been your partner for six holes. Use the scoring format in sixes – whichever you prefer - with each six-hole serving as a separate bet. The winner is the player who has been on the winning side for at least two matches.

Pro Tip: For the sake of simplicity, label each golfer 1, 2, 3 or 4. So the order should be as follows:
1.For holes 1-6, golfers 1 and 2 will play golfers 3 and 4.
2.For holes 7-12, golfers 1 and 3 will play golfers 2 and 4.
3.For holes 13-18, golfers 1 and 4 will play golfers 2 and 3.

🐶 Mix it up at your next golf outing with Wolf!

Players: 4

Level: Advanced

How to Play: Have the most points at the end of the round. The first tee sets the order of play, with the last person being the "Wolf." Each round is rotated so that every player has the opportunity to be the "Wolf" once every four holes. When each player has hit his/her tee shot, the Wolf then decides if he will take any of the players to his team for the hole. If the Wolf decides against taking a player, he will be dubbed the "Lone Wolf," and the objective changes to beat the other three players by getting the lowest net score on the hole. If the Wolf does decide to choose a partner and they win the hole, both players will receive two points. However, if non-Wolf players win the hole, they each gain three points to add to their game. If the Lone Wolf beats everyone, he or she is granted four points – but if he or she is beaten by any other player, everyone apart from the wolf gains a single point. While this game takes a lot of concentration, it's a great game to play, and you can add variating rules to make it more interesting!
