 In
addition to ZooKeeper Golf, it is often fun to combine other games
during the round. Here are some of the favorites of the staff here
at Golf Adventures:
Bingo
Bango Bongo – An amount per point is established prior
to the start of the match. There are three points awarded on each
hole. The first point (Bingo) is awarded to the first person that
successfully lands in the fairway. The second point is awarded to
the first person that successfully lands on the green (Bango). The
third point is awarded to the first person that successfully holes
out their ball (Bongo). At the end of the round the points are tallied
and the pre-determined bet is paid off on a per point basis.
Back to Top COD (Carts Others
Drivers) This game involves rotating your partner
every six holes. A predetermined wager amount per hole is established.
The team with the lowest combined score wins the hole. Each member
of the winning team receives a point for each hole that they are victorious.
After six holes the partners change and the game proceeds. The final
pairing takes place on hole 13. The order of the pairings is as follows:
cart partners for the first six holes; the driver of one cart and
the passenger of the other cart for holes 7 through 12; and the drivers
versus the passengers for holes 13 through 18. At the end of the round
the points are tallied and the pre-determined bet is paid off on a
per point basis.
Back to Top Hammer – An amount per bet is established prior to the match
as well as a participation order (normally following the order of
names on the scorecard). Each hole is initially worth the bet amount.
Players follow the participation order and take turns being the “Hammer”.
On the tee box, the “hammer” selects a player that they
will challenge for that hole and “hammers” them. That
challenge is made for the predetermined bet amount and must be accepted
by the player who has been challenged. The “hammer” is
now in possession of the challenged player and he may “hammer” the
original person back for double the bet. This challenge may go back
and forth at any point during the hole each time re-doubling the bet
amount. The challenge must always be accepted. At the end of the hole
the winner is paid and the hammer passes to the next person in order.
Back to Top High/Low – Partners are established prior to the match as well
as a bet per point awarded. There are two points awarded on each hole.
The first point is awarded to the team that has the member with the
lowest score for that hole compared to the lowest score of the other
team. The second point is awarded to the team that has the lowest “high” score
compared to the highest score of the other team. Only two points are
awarded per hole, ties do not push. At the end of the round the points
are tallied and the per-determined bet is paid on a per point basis.
Back to Top Nassau – Partners
are established prior to the match as well as a dollar amount per
bet. There are three bets per golf round. Each nine
holes as well as the total make up the three bets. The combined scores
of the pairs are established on a per hole basis with the winner getting
a point. Any time a team is down 2 points or more they may “press” the
bet. A press means that they are opening a new bet from that point
forward. The press may be opened for either the nine holes that are
being played or the match or both. As long as a team goes down by
2 or more holes they can open another press. Thus, multiple bets (developed
by the presses) can take place in addition to the pre-determined three
initial bets. At the end of the round the payment is made based on
the number of bets won and lost.
Back to Top
Skins - An amount per bet is established prior to the match. The
match is played with each hole counting as a point. If there is a
clear winner on a hole that person receives the point for that hole.
If there is a tie for low score the hole carries over to the next
hole and that hole is worth two times the wager. If there is a clear
winner on the hole, that person receives the amount of points the
hole is worth. The push can continue as long as the low score continues
to tie. The person that wins the hole gets the number of points carried
over as well as the points for the hole in question. At the end of
the round the points are tallied and the per-determined bet is paid
on a per point basis.
Back to Top Wolf - An amount per bet is established prior to the match as well
as a participation order (normally following the order of names on
the scorecard). Each hole is initially worth the bet amount. Players
follow the participation order and take turns being the Wolf. The
wolf tees off last and determines on the tee box whether he will be
playing against the field or taking a partner for that hole. The wolf
gets three decisions: 1) before anybody tees off they can declare
that they are going “lone wolf” for 3 times the pre-determined
bet. If that is not declared the wolf can choose a partner after an
individual tees off but prior to the next person teeing off. Once
the second person tees off the wolf cannot revert back to choosing
the first person. After the third person tees off the wolf cannot
revert back to choosing the second person. If the wolf chooses none
of the other three individuals then the wolf automatically is forced
into the third decision which is going “lone wolf” for
twice the bet. The points are awarded based on the winner having the
low score on the hole. If the wolf, or the wolf and/or their partner
ties for low score on the hole with the opposition than the number
of points at risk for that carries over (similar to skins). Each hole
is worth the established bet for the hole combined with the number
of carry over points from the previous hole. The order of teeing off
is not consistent with normal rules of golf etiquette. The hole after
being the wolf that individuals moves to the number one position and
each member moves back one position (with the person teeing off third
in order now moving to the wolf position). This progression takes
place for 16 holes with each player having four turns at being the
wolf. On holes 17 and 18 the player with the least amount of points
is declared the wolf. Point accumulations on hole 17 could alter which
player is the wolf for hole 18. At the end of the round the points
are tallied and the per-determined bet is paid on a per point basis.
