Golf Games: Pick Up Sticks
Here's a fun match play (one on one, hole by hole) game which can be quite interesting and force players to hit shots with clubs they might not normally try.
Pick Up Sticks
In Pick Up Sticks the concept is simple. For each hole a player wins in match play, his opponent is allowed to remove (pick up) one club (stick) from his bag.
For example: Player B wins the first hole. Player A then removes player B's driver from his bag and player B may no longer use that club for the rest of the round. Player B must resort to a fairway wood or long iron for those shots from that point on.
Strategy comes into play, figuring the best clubs to remove from one's opponent's bag.
Immunity Option
Before the round players may choose one immune club, say the putter or whatever is their best club.
Try It
As players' clubs are removed from their bags, they may be forced to play shots with other club choices. This fun and competitive game can help a player's feel and improve his or her shot-making and creativity.
