3 PLAYER GOLF FORMATS When you have a four arranged, someone always calls off and who wants to play strokeplay anyway? Have fun with these instead: Skins - Each hole is worth one skin and whoever wins the hole gets the skin. If no-one wins the hole outright then the skin is carried over so the next hole is worth 2 skins, and so on until someone sinks that pressure putt. Play off scratch or handicap as per singles match play. Split Sixes - There a six point up for grabs at each hole. If someone wins it outright then they get 4 points. The second best score gets 2 points and the third zero. If one person won the hole and the other two halved then it would be 4-1-1. Two players halving and beating the third 3-3-0. You get the picture. You dont need a maths degree and can be tactical near the end. Use full handicap allowance. Murphys - Modified Stableford played in exactly the same way except the points are different: -3 for bogey or worse, -1 for bogey, zero for par, +2 for birdie, +5 for eagle, +8 for albatross. Chairman - The player with the lowest net score on each hole becomes the Chairman on the following hole. The Chairman can win the hole if he/she again has the lowest net score. The winner is the person who wins the most holes. If two players tie then the current Chairman continues for the next hole. Stringball - Instead of handicap strokes, each player is allocated one foot of string for every shot of his/her handicap. Each player can move the ball by measuring the distance moved and cutting that amount from the ball. You can use the string to remove your ball from hazards, get it out of a difficult lie or to hole out. If you like you can offer the option to gain one foot of string for each birdie scored. Remember to take your scissors! Ghost - This is a game of Fourball Better Ball matchplay (see below), but with 3 real players and one imaginary player called the Ghost. One player elects to play with the Ghost who always pars every hole. The Ghost plays off scratch and gives shots to every other player in the group as per normal. The game is usually best when the highest handicapper plays with the Ghost.
