Games for Groups of Mixed Skill

[golfncowboy]

I am taking a golf trip for a friends bachelor party that includes some non golfers. What are some go to games that you like when in a situation like this to keep things fun for everyone and to keep the pace of play up? This group is two fairly skilled players (single digit handicaps), one mid handicap golfer and two that rarely play.

Alternate shot match with each guy who never plays paired up with one of the single digits could be funny.  The middle handicap can be the ref.

Pair each non golfer with the low handicap and the mid handicap will alternate teams each hole.
Then have a Nassau playing a Scramble format. (Pending the course will let you play as a five-some)

It will be 3 on 2 for each team for equal holes.
Each hole won would have a dollar value or points.
When a two man team wins a hole they each win a buck(or points) from the three players.
Three would split the same value from the two players.

There are not many games for 5 players and having non golfers playing maybe have them try shots from the low guys tee shots
similar to a Shamble Game.

Wow! I've been playing for 50 years, and I don't have the balls to play Foursomes! I suggested it one time, and my buddy looked at me like I had two heads! Plus, your formula keeps the mid-handicap on the sideline.

I like Club Rat's suggestion. My buddy and I regularly play two person scrambles against his Sister and her friend. Plus, we give them strokes and just have fun. We play for a drink after the round. Believe me, we have bought just as many times as they have!

This sounds like a fun idea! Thanks for the suggestion.
