While in Yuma this past winter, the Canadians we play with introduced us yanks to the game "wolf".  Whoever wins the tee spin, coin toss, etc. for first on #1 is "the wolf".  The wolf gets to pick their playing partner for that hole after seeing the 2nd persons tee shot.  He can pick #2 or wait for another player, but must pick before #3 or #4 play their tee shot.  From there it's low net score between the teams for a ten spot (as in 0.10 cents). Worst one can do is lose $1.80.  Funny thing is that after the whole season we had handed those dimes back n' forth so much some were uniquely recognizable.

My new playing partner here in MT has a standing game whenever we play. $1 for pars, $5 for birdies, $25 for eagles, and $100 for a hole in one. 

Years ago, we use to play "bingo-bango-bongo", but it's been so long, I'd have to look up the rules again.

So what are your favorite games within the game?

$5 a hole, Par or better to win, Bird pays double. And sometimes with carry-overs, which can get pricey.

6-6-6 partner game is the most popular at our club.
Some even play it as Front, Back, and Total within the 6 holes.
Of course there are always a few "Press" thrown in.

When our regular group is playing together, we play 6 games of 3 holes. It's a $2 buy in for each group of 3 holes. Lowest 3 hole score wins the pot for that 3 holes. There is also a $2 buy in for lowest 18 hole score. 

Usually there are at least 5 of us, sometimes more. We have even included strangers that were put with our group.

We square up at the 19th, with all the money going for food and beverages.

    • Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip. 
    • Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
    • Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
