Battle Golf

Its a game mode in the Tiger Woods video game. I thaught it would be fun to try this on the course with a friend. For those of you who dont know how its played its played match play style but when someone wins a hole they can take a club out of the others players bag or add a club back to your bag. The restictions are that you cannot take out the 5 iron, Sand Wedge, or Putter.

I will post again how it went when i get the chance because the weather is poor here in Ma.

Feel free to post stories if you have already done this or what you think of the format.

Me and a few buddies play this sometimes. The only club we dont allow taken out though is the putter and 5 iron. It is definitely a fun game and I have actually done quite well aproaching holes from a different point of view with my longer clubs out of the bag. It really does make for a good time.

Might give this one a go sometime if I can find someone game enough. I'd also like to give the 'bloodsome' format a try as long as it wouldn't hold things up for other people on the course.

me and my mate play this all the time but no clubs are off limits except the putter. it gets quite strategic as well when thinking about what hole is coming next to decide which club to take, it also allows me to get to now my mates game and my own a lot more as well

I play this game alot with my friends. Our rules are special, the putter is off limits a player always has a putter. We limit to 6 clubs: Driver, Fairway wood, Hybrid, 5 iron 7 iron and wedge (and putter obviously). Usually we are three players with comparable handicaps. If Player A wins a hole he takes a club from player B and player C. Any player must have at least one club (other than his putter), if said player loses a hole he is immune to losing clubs. A player can use any of the clubs in his bag, his clubs and the clubs he has taken from another player.

Here's were our game gets special, the bonuses:
Hole out from off the green (not including the fringe) and get all your clubs back.
Hit another players ball and take all but one of his clubs (balls on green are immune)
Ball out of bounds off the tee means loss of driver (for entire round, player who hits ball out of bounds may not play a driver for the rest of the round)

We tend to play this on a short nine hole, strategy is almost more important than how you play, some times you'll play a putter on the fairway in attempt to hit another players ball at the risk of losing a stroke.

I really like playing this game because you usually lose the big clubs quickly so you start practicing your irons and wedge play.

A quick story about one of the best time we played (at least for me). The first hole of the course we usually play is really tight with out of bounds right so we usually hit a hybrid, I won the Rock-Paper-Scissors so I went last. My friends choose not even to hit hybrids but to hit the 5 iron, after their shots they were maybe 5 yards apart in the middle of the fairway. I chose to follow them with the 5 iron and hit a perfect shot down the fairway, once it started to bounce we notice I had hit the ball in the back of the two already on the fairway. Once we reached the balls I had hit the one in the back and was two feet behind the other ball. A quick putt and I had all my buddies clubs, all they had were wedges. As you can imagine I won 18-0-0 luckiest 5 iron I've ever hit.
