    Default Betting conundrum, to keep things spicy.

    Decided to play for just the slightest hint of cash on sat , def No sheep staions required here.

    4 ball, we play most weeks together.
    we're tired of just scoring , then drinking .

    so off stableford hcaps 3-11-16- 22 , we tired $10 font -10 back -20 overall per palyer this wekeeend.
    the 3 scooped the pot by the 15th

    very quickly decided that that wud prob keep happeneing as the 11 and 16 are prob NOT true 11 and 16s and the 22 can and does shoot 85/108


    def NOT the way it was intended.

    the 3 caps out off stick at 81 and can shoot 72
    the 11, never broken 80 can easily break 90
    the 16, 82 is best score (once) usually mid+ 90s...

    can not see any other reuslt other than the 3 cleaning up a least 1 of the 3 possibilities every week..



    Suggestions ???

    if we know another style we can try to make it WAY more random,?
    the main point being the 3 was 5 points clear with 4 to play over the 11 so the 11 just gave up and drank beer

    took the days mojo down.



    cheers

    Try Bingo Bango Bongo.

    Handicaps are not used and are irrelevant, but its equal for all abilities and cheats ( google it). Its also a lot of fun.

    I'm a big fan of bingo, bango, bongo, esp. when playing in teams of two.

    We do 4 points per hole with one point for first on the green and one point for closest with the approach shot. (Both are irrespective of number of shots taken and, if you miss the green with your approach, then you are still approaching.)
    Third point is longest putt sunk, but must be over 1m. (If not over 1m, then that point carries over to the next hole, like playing skins.)
    Fourth point is best individual stableford score. (If tied, then that point carries over to the next hole.)

    First team past 36 points wins.
    You don't get me. I'm part of the Union.

    If you are playing 4ball, a way to make it a bit more competitive against higher markers is 2nd ball counts. Say your 2 and your partners 2 beats your opponents 2 and a wipe. We never play points, just holes. Few boys do 6 best ball, 6 aggregate and 6 multiplier to mix it up.
