List of Fun Games
Coloured Balls All Round (04/04/22)
Regular Stableford.
A draw for partners will take place prior to the first tee time . If there's an odd number we will introduce a mystery player.
Everyone has a coloured ball in addition to their normal white one.
Each person can choose 5 holes on which to use the coloured ball. On those holes the points will be doubled.
If the coloured ball is lost or the player blobs a hole on which the coloured ball is being used then the ball is taken out of play for the remainder of the round (i.e. they only get to use a white ball for single points).
Borrow £2.00 for Jerry.

1-2-3 Best Ball (08/08/22)
"1-2-3 Best Ball" is the name of a golf tournament format for 3-person teams in which a different number of team members' scores are counted on each hole:
2. On the first hole, the one best score among the four teammates is the team score;
3. On the second hole, the two best scores are combined for the team score;
4. On the third hole, the three best scores are combined for the team score.
One-two-three. On the fourth hole, that rotation starts over and continues through the round. Stableford scoring
Pink ball
Each team of two starts with a pink ball
As the round progresses, the pink ball is rotated on each hole
The Stapleford score registered by the pink ball player will be doubled on each hole
If the pink ball is lost it cannot be replaced
Bongo
Scoring
Each player keeps their own score. Stableford scores should be marked on the card in the normal way.
In addition, two columns should be used, one for plus points and one for minus points….
Plus points are gained for: first player to reach the green, player closest to the hole, and first player to putt out.
Minus points are gained by losing balls in the water, going in bunkers, on grassy knolls, lost balls, and unplayable balls.
Plus and Minus points should be logged even where a player runs out of shots on a given hole.

Triple Lockdown
Format: Single or Pairs. Full handicap for each player.
Scoring: Stableford
Twist:
-
In advance of play each player will choose, at random, a number between 1-18 (excluding 3 and 15);
-
The number chosen will relate to a hole on the course and for this hole the stableford score will count triple for that individual;
-
All players will choose a different number (i.e. once a number has been chosen it is removed from subsequent selection);
-
The numbers/holes remaining after all players have chosen a number will then count as double for all players (including numbers 3 and 15).
For example, 12 players are competing. Between them they individually choose numbers 1,2,5,6,8,9,10,11, 12,13,17,18. For the number they have chosen their individual score counts treble on the corresponding hole. For the six numbers/holes that weren’t choseni.e. 3,4,7,14,15,16, the score will count double for all players on the corresponding holes.
