Drinking golf games to play on the course

Above: Just try not to get stuck in too many bunkers or you could end up getting your bonce stuck in a bin…. Summary: We all know that beer is the perfect side dish to a plate full of golf on the TV. This game will add a little structure to your drinking patterns next time the fairways find the flat screen. Above: Couple of cheeky drinks with the golf! Your email address will not be published. All players should split into four handicap groups lowest to highest.

Use four hats, and pick a player from each hat to form a team. A Scramble usually calls for a shotgun start, preceded by lunch or followed by dinner. Seven-or-eight-under is usually the score to beat. Flag Tournament In a Flag Tournament, each player receives a certain number of strokes - usually the course par plus two-thirds of the player's full handicap.

So, a handicapper on a par course gets 82 strokes. He then plays 82 shots and stops, planting a flag on the spot where his 82nd shot landed. The flags should be provided on the first tee by the tournament director.

Each participant should have his name taped to his flag. This way, as players make their way through the back nine, they can see where others bit the dust. If a player finishes all 18 holes before using his total strokes, he should either keep playing until he's out of strokes or stop. Under the first option, the winner is the player who plants his flag farthest on the course.

Under the second, the winner is whoever has the most strokes remaining after 18 holes. The reason two-thirds handicap is used, though, is so most people will finish somewhere inside of regulation. One additional rule: You can't plant a flag past a hole that you haven't completed.

In other words, if you're five feet short of a green with one stroke left, you can't blast the ball with your 2-iron onto the next fairway. Also, if the farthest two players both finish on the same green, the winner is the golfer closer to the hole. A flag tournament is essentially Stroke Play with a handicap, but the twist makes it a little more interesting.

Pink Ball To play Pink Ball, use teams of four. Each foursome has a hideous, bright pink ball that rotates among players. Of course, the ball can be any color, but the more obnoxious, the better. Player 1 uses it on the first hole, player 2 on the second, and so on. Take the best two net scores on each hole and add them. Whoever has the pink ball on a given hole must contribute one of the two scores. One variation: The golfer with the pink ball is automatically disqualified if he loses it.

This is perhaps too harsh, so I don't recommend it. Players should have a reason to stay interested, after all. Another, less harsh, variation: Keep the overall net score for the pink ball separately, and give a prize to the team with the best pink ball score. If a team loses the pink ball, it's out. This makes for considerable camaraderie and tension if you're playing on a course with a lot of water.

Trouble Also known as "Disaster". Trouble is a point game in which your actual score isn't relevant, at least not directly. The goal is to collect the least number of "trouble points" possible during a round.

Players shoot for a set amount per point, often a dollar. Thus, a player accumulating three trouble points owes each of his opponents three dollars. If it recommends a shot, then you can do a shot, drink a beer or even just take a drink if the other options are too much for you.

Either way, the goal is to have fun drinking with your friends while playing a round of golf. Here are a few ideas for golf drinking games that you and your friends can try next time you play around. One of the golf drinking games that my friend like to play is called Beer Bogey. This game requires that players take a shot for every stroke over par on a hole.

This could also be changed to the highest score on a hole takes a shot, but then the better golfers might not get to drink quite as much. That is where the game Hazard Play comes in. This game has any golfer that lands in the bunker or water take a shot or a drink.

This can be a lot of fun for larger groups because it is not score-specific. Even the best golfers in the world spend some time in the sand, so this gives even higher scoring players a fair chance. Another fun option is closest to the pin challenge. I hardly doubt he unaware of the pace of play. We always find something to complain about.

Instead we should be thinking if his whole foursome is drinking that the find a responsible way home. All the power to you in your efforts to make the game more fun for you and not take it as serious as some of the yrd regular bombers on this forum. We always like to just keep a cold case in the cart basket and on every hole shortest hitter got to shotgun a ice cold Pabst.

Sadly i never get to drink very many. One time we strapped keg in bucket to back of cart lol and only played with 1 club. Good Times, Good Times.
