Your group decides how much money 1 unit is worth before teeing off. A 3-unit charge is three times that amount. Keep a running total for each player and settle up after the round.

Our simulations averaged about 20 units per player for 9 holes and 40 for 18. For four players, that’s a pot of roughly 80 or 160 units. For two, it’s 40 or 80. Multiply by your unit value for the dollar amount. These are contributions before winnings; your total depends on the spins and how you play.

You pick the golf game. In stroke play, whoever takes the fewest strokes over the round wins the pot. In team play, it goes to the winning team. Winner, Winner and High Roller only let you avoid that hole’s charge. The pot pays out after the round.

Yes. You each play your own ball and keep your own score and running total. The prompts still apply to individual golfers, including Winner, Winner and High Roller. Your team game decides who takes the pot.

Every attempt to hit the ball counts as a stroke, even if you miss. Putts count, too. Add penalty strokes to get your gross score. Net subtracts the handicap strokes you get on that hole. Count Your Strokes uses gross. Choose gross or net for Winner, Winner and High Roller before teeing off. Without handicaps, use gross.

Picking up means stopping before you hole out. Before the round, agree on a max score for each hole and what score to record if you pick up sooner. That recorded score counts for Count Your Strokes, Winner, Winner and High Roller. On Send It Home, you’re finished when you hole out, take an agreed gimme, or pick up under your group’s rules.

In turn means honors off the tee, usually the lowest scorer from the last hole, then whoever is farthest from the hole plays next. Ready golf means whoever’s ready can hit when it’s clear. For On the Clock and Send It Home, your group can choose either or make it a race.

A gimme is a putt your group agrees to count as holed without playing it. It still adds one stroke to your score. On Greens Fee, a gimme from the green costs 2 units. The fringe is the short grass just outside the green. Fringe putts don’t cost units on Greens Fee, but they still count in your score. Every stroke played from the green counts, whichever club you use.

On par 4s and 5s, your first tee shot has to finish in the fairway, the short grass you usually aim for off the tee. On par 3s, it has to finish on the green, the closely cut area around the hole. Check the scorecard for each hole’s par. If a par 4 or 5 has no fairway, pick a target as a group before teeing off.

For On the Clock, your ball has to finish on the green. For Somebody’s Closer, use its distance from the hole when it first comes to rest on the green, before you putt. Putting from the fringe doesn’t set that distance. Hole out from off the green and that counts as reaching it for On the Clock and zero distance for Somebody’s Closer.

On Winner, Winner, everyone tied for low pays nothing. On High Roller, everyone tied for high pays nothing. Tied for last on On the Clock or Send It Home means 3 units each. Same for the longest first putt on Somebody’s Closer. If the whole group ties on one of those prompts, nobody owes anything. Before teeing off, decide whether a tie for the pot means splitting it or playing a tiebreaker.
