What are some fun on course betting games for golf trips with 8 or more people.?
I organize golf tourneys and run a league, here are a few ideas:
Assuming your group has a wide range of handicaps.
Have Closest to the pin on Par 3’s
Have a closest to the pin (2nd shot) on a couple of Par 4’s
Have a couple of longest putts (made) on different holes
Use a modified stableford system for point scoring – with handicaps – I generally use 80% of each persons handicap to reduce sandbagging
If you have each person put in $20, you can then split it amongst the prizes.
I also put on a alternate shot tourney – you all play the first 18 hole round then after the round you determine partners based on the previous round. You play alternate shot with both balls and write down the score of the lowest ball. This way everyone gets to play a full round of golf. Again, collect X amount of dollars and then pay out the 1st 2 places if you only have 8 people.
Within each 4 some, we play a game called WOLF. You can get information on the web about the game. It is a great game if all 4 players have similar handicaps.
I have 12 players that are playing in foursomes. They are playing 7 courses. Where can i find a schedule to make sure everyone plays with each other (in the same foursome) as evenly as possible?
If you want to play all the courses and shake up the foursomes, I suggest a oun robin format.
I am an ex golf pro and this is how I ran many of the mens golf association tournaments. Goto
http://www.fileedge.com/all/round/ and there is a round robin sheduler there to input names and schedule all 4somes. Good luck and enjoy.

I am going to be selling my golf clubs to my friend, but I dont know the price I should ask. I was hoping you would help give me an idea. The clubs are pretty new; and they are in vey very good condition. They are as follows:
Callaway X-12 irons 4-PW
Taylor Made Rescue Mid 19 degree 3 iron/hybrid
TaylorMade R580 XD 10.5 degree driver
Nike Sasquatch 15 degree 3 wood
Taylor Made R580 5 wood
Ping Zing orange dot SW Sand Wedge
Cobra “The Cute Kid” putter by putter designer Bobby Grace
Thank You
Go to Ebay. All of those clubs are on sale. There is usually a opening bid but in many cases there is a number offerred to close out the bidding. In many cases they have pictures to show the “used” quality of the clubs.
My opinion: you have some very good name brand clubs.
I need a very dense, tall fast growing hedge to stop golf balls from coming into my yard…?
I have a home in Northeast Florida on the backside of a golf practice range and am having a problem with golf balls continually flying into my yard, some at fast speeds that I fear could hurt somone. I’d like to plant a dense tall hedge instead of asking the golf club to put up an ugly fence. Any ideas about plants that would slow down a fast moving golf ball and grow well in a coastal north Florida, shady environmenst?
Get the golf range to put up containment nets so you don’t get hurt. Then grow whatever you’d like to screen the nets.
Please help me set up the equations!!!! I have a lot of trouble with “let” statements and things like that
A store sells the Red Dot golf balls for 60 cents each, the Black Dot balls for 94 cents each and the Gold Dot ball for $1.10 each. A golf pro bought two dozen more Red Dot than Gold DOt balls and three times as many Black Dot as Red Dot balls. If the golf balls and one dollar’s worth of tees cost 140.50, how many gold balls of each kind were bought?
Let red dot = x
Let black dot = y
Let gold dot = z
What are my chances to play high school, college golf?

I am 14 years old, Freshman in high school. I practice on the range every day for 4-5 hours with 1 hour of short game/bunker practice. Also another hour for putting. My handicap is a 12 right now. The handicap should go down because I am planning on getting a few lessons. My golf clubs are Taylormade, Callaway, and Odyssey and top of the line, custom fitted. I practice alot and am playing way better and consistantly. My only down side is I’m pretty small and can only drive about 225-235 yards. I started lifting weights however so I should get stronger. I also am going to us the Momentus Power Hitter to build up my clubhead speed. I go to De La Salle High School in California. Their Varsity golf team won the state championship last year but I’m only trying for J.V. or Freshman.
Oh yeah, I’ve only been playing for 8 months.
Hey rl_ex06, I am doing well in school to.
I am in 3 honors classes and my Gpa is 3.96
from one high school golfer to another… the only way to get better is to practice.. period. however, golf is rather frustating.. im sure u can attest. keep practicing but if u get so frustrated or pissed.. take a break for a couple days. also, if u show the coach u have good work ethic hes that much more likely to pick you. never be satisified… work to get better. dont worry about your size..just work extra hard at the short game.. thats where u can really take it to those fools who hit it 300+. HAVE CONFIDENCE AND KEEP PRACTICING!
