The game is called &#8220;Fairways to Heaven.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In this game, each player antes up a predetermined wager on the par 4s and 5s. Bet a quarter, a dollar, whatever&#8217;s comfortable. The order of play is determined and followed for the entire round, and a different golfer is &#8220;on the spot&#8221; on each hole. If that player hits the fairway, he collects the money in the pot. If he misses, the pot carries over and new bets are added on the next hole.<\/p>\n<p>If your course has 14 par 4s and 5s, then each player gets three shots to win the pot. The last two driving holes should be played as a team: players 1 and 2 on the thirteenth driving hole, players 3 and 4 on the fourteenth. Play &#8220;both must hit the fairway&#8221; or &#8220;if either hits the fairway&#8221; depending on your level of skill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a great game from Chi Chi Rodriguez that requires accuracy, timing, and the ability to handle pressure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-390","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-playing_tips"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
