“We
usually
play
$5.00
per
stroke
on
the
front
nine,
$10.00
per
stroke
on
the
back
nine.”

“I
suppose
skins
is
the
biggest
kind
of
game
for
betting
on
the
course.
However,
I
don’t
bet
very
often
when
play.
I
like
to
keep
track
of
stats
–
greens
in
regulation,
number
of
putts
per
hole
and
per
round,
and
so
forth.
I
like
to
see
my
students
do
that,
too.
Keeps
it
interesting,
and
it’s
helpful
information!”

”The
Captains
Game:
5
players
each
alternating
as
"captain"
for
the
first
15
holes.
The
captain
hits
first,
followed
by
the
other
players
after
which
the
captain
picks
a
partner.
They
play
2
against
3
(no
strokes).
The
"A"
team
(captain
and
partner)
play
for
2
units
on
that
hole,
and
the
"B"
team
plays
for
2
units.
At
the
end
of
fifteen
holes,
the
player
who
is
the
most
down
is
the
captain
on
16.
Repeat
the
process
on
17
and
18.
A
captain
may
"hog"
all
the
points
on
any
hole.
He
would
get
8
and
the
others
minus
2.
A
more
cutthroat
way
is
to
pick
after
each
players
tee
shot,
not
waiting
until
everyone
has
hit.”

”If
you've
got
only
3
players,
try
the
9-Point
Game.
If
one
player
scores
lowest
on
a
hole,
he
gets
5
points,
2nd
score
gets
3
points,
3rd
score
gets
1
point.
If
2nd
and
3rd
players
tie,
they
both
get
2
points.
If
all
three
players
tie,
they
each
get
3
points.
If
two
players
tie
for
low
score
on
a
hole,
they
both
get
4
points
and
the
other
player
gets
1
point.
The
point
total
always
adds
up
to
9
regardless
of
the
three
players'
scores:
5-3-1,
5-2-2,
3-3-3,
4-4-1.
You
can
play
for
a
quarter
a
point
up
to
as
high
as
you
want
to
go.
If
the
players
are
fairly
evenly
matched,
the
ending
score
will
be
something
like
62
to
54
to
46.
At
a
quarter
a
point,
the
player
with
62
gets
$2
from
the
player
with
54
and
$4
from
the
player
with
46.
The
player
with
54
gets
$2
from
the
player
with
46.
Winner
picks
up
$6;
loser
loses
$6;
middle
player
breaks
even.
Fifty
cents
a
point
is
usually
a
good
friendly
game.
The
good
thing
about
it
is
that
you
always
know
where
you
stand.
Hot
Tip:
Avoid
getting
only
one
point
on
a
hole.
A
conservative
player
usually
does
well
in
this
game."

”The
best
money
game
I
play
is
with
my
best
friend
for
the
past
15
years.
We
play
match
play
at
25
CENTS
A
HOLE.
The
kicker
is
you
need
to
pay
before
you
leave
the
green.
Usually
we
do
not
pay
in
a
gentlemanly
way.
We
will
throw
the
quarter
off
to
the
wet
grass,
or
it
could
be
tossed
into
the
hole
itself.
It’s
always
paid
with
a
lot
of
griping
and
moaning.
New
players
who
play
along
with
us
are
sure
we
do
not
like
each
other
at
all.
I
designed
the
game
telling
George,
that
suppose
he
died
near
his
home
on
the
8th
hole.
And
suppose
he
was
seventy
five
cents
down.
Once
I
poked
him
and
found
him
to
be
dead,
I
would
need
to
go
through
his
pockets
for
my
money.
Then
suppose
his
wife
(Kate)
came
rushing
out
of
the
house...well
it
just
would
not
look
good.
So
we
pay
each
hole.”

“A
great
game
we
play
with
advanced
players
is
play
the
worst
ball
of
two.
It's
fun,
extremely
challenging,
and
gives
you
a
true
indication
of
where
your
game
really
is.”
