Golf Games: Trouble

Here's a fun game which will also help players improve their shot selection and course management (strategy). Trouble Like golf itself, a lower score in the game Trouble is better.  Set a predetermined bet amount with your group per point.  Point allocation is as follows: Penalty Points

• Ball in sand trap: 1 point
• Hitting into a hazard: 2 points
• Hitting out of bounds: 3 points
• Three putting: 1 point
• Four putting: 4 points
• Duffing, blading, chunking a shot: 1 point
• More possible, use your imagination

Subtractive Points Negative points for good play can also be part of the game.  Performing a great shot, making birdie etc can reduce the points as follows:

• Making birdie: -4 points
• Making eagle: -6 points
• Hitting a shot stiff: -2 points
• One-putting from long distance: -2 points
• Getting up and down from a sand trap for par or better: -2 points
• More possible, use your imagination

At the end of the round the person with the LOWEST point total wins.
