Golf Games: Fairways and Greens

In this game, players win points by being the only one in a group to hit either either fairways or greens. As is usual, players should decide how much each point will pay before the game begins.

There are two points possible on each hole. You score one point if you are the only one in the fairway after teeing off, and one point for being the only one to hit the green in regulation. Par threes, naturally, are one pointers—greens in regulation only.

If no one hits a fairway or green in regulation, or if multiple people accomplish the feat, the points carry over to the next hole. In this sense, it’s like skins, in that the value of a single hole can rapidly increase.

Still, its unlikely in this game that anyone will lose a ton of money. If you’re playing for fifty cents a point, your total out of pocket would be $18 if you never won a point.

This is a good game for a group of less skilled golfers.
