On the tee box waiting to hit, I play this one game with a friend.

Both start with drivers at opposite Tee Markers:

The object of the game is to hit the tee marker opposite yours, then go back to yours, and then hit your opponents ball. Each time to keep having consective turns without letting the other person hit is to always hit a tee marker every shot.

You'd kinda have to see to understand.

Hey, what's wrong with just getting the ball in the little hole at the end in the lowest amount of shots? That's hard enough for me as it is

j/k some of these ideas sound pretty good to me! I might give them a go on my next round...

Do you play any games on the course while playing to make things a lil more interesting? if you have any share!

The game you're describing is called "Animals". I usually play it with my higher handicap friends because it's a game that punishes the negatives but more importantly, it's great for laughs.

We have picture cards for each of the animals with a carabiner so you can attach it to your golf bag....of course you can do whatever you want. Here's some of the Animal names for the ones you mentioned. trees (Woodpecker) out of bounds (Gorilla) cart path (Armadillo) water (Frog) swing and miss whiff the ball 3 putt (Snake) 4 putt (Python) Bunker (Camel) failure to get ball out of bunker go from one bunker to another putt ball of the green (Catepillar) Some more... Lost Ball (Gopher) Triple Bogey or worse (Skunk) Tee shot lands short of forward tees (Ladybug - Usually $5) I'm sure there's more. One little twist is if you have an animal and someone else gets it, you have to clip the animal to their bag before the next tee shot otherwise you're stuck with it. It's also important to play in order late in the round (or to keep track of who's away because it's the last animal scored that counts ). This game can be hilarious, especially late in the round.

If there is 5 of us, we'll play wolf.

If there is 4 or 6 of us, we'll play vegas. Gotta love 3 digit vegas.

Definition: Las Vegas is a betting game for two teams of two players each. Winnings and losings can add up quickly in Las Vegas, so it's a game preferred by better - and wealthier - players.
In Las Vegas, each 2-person team plays for a team score on each hole. But it's not a normal team score. The team members' scores are not combined; rather, they are paired: Player A gets a 4, Player B gets a 5. The team score is not 9, it's 45 (the lower number goes first).

If both players get 4s, that's 44; if one gets an 8 and the other gets a 3, that's 38.

The team score represents the number of points each team earns per hole. Points are tracked throughout the round and the differential is paid off at the end of the round. A single-hole example: Team A scores 4 and 5 for a 45; Team B scores 5 and 6 for a 56; the difference is 11 points.

Points can be worth any amount. Low-rollers should only play for nickels and dimes. Las Vegas is often played for a dollar per point, and it adds up quickly at that level.

And if your foursome is "flipping the bird," the money can really start to change hands. When employing this rule, a team that makes a birdie and wins the hole can flip the other team's score for that hole. So instead of the low number going first, the high number goes first. The opponent's 5 and 6 wouldn't be 56, but 65.

One safeguard: If one player scores 10 or more, that team's score uses the high number first. So a 3 and a 10 is 103, not 310

Woods: Steelhead Plus 3 and 5
Irons: Forged 300 4-PW

    • Day 299: played 18. Hit the ball well, but did not score well. I think I ended up +10, with half of that coming on 2 holes. 
    • Day 549, May 4, 2024 After lessons and working with Natalie, hit some balls for awhile. Just backswing stuff. Forgot about the slightly shorter stuff, though I'm sure it was as they were only about 75% speed with brief pauses.
    • Not a coach, but this looks pretty solid to me! PGA TOUR (@pgatour) • Instagram reel 30K likes, 63 comments - pgatour on May 4, 2024: "Come for 16-year-old @kris.kim59’s near ace … Stay...  
    • Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.
    • I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.
