Golf Modes of Play

Wolf is played with 4 players where each player takes a turn being the "Wolf." The Wolf always tees off first, then after all players have teed off, the Wolf gets a chance to select a partner for that hole. If s/he elects NOT to choose a partner for the hole, the Wolf plays solo against the other 3 players. Once the teams have been decided, the 2 teams play Bestball to determine the winner of the hole. The money for that hole is divided equally to all members of the winning team. After each hole the next player gets their turn to be Wolf. On the 17th and 18th holes, the player who is in last place gets additional turns to be Wolf.

If you play by the book, that is hit the fairway off the tee, hit the green in regulation, 2-putt or better and hit pars or birdies, you'll do just fine. Whatever you do, DON'T 3-putt or you'll lose any points you won for the hole, but that's nothing. If you hit worse than a 3-putt you lose it all, EVERY point you ever had, gone, bye-bye, see you later. The player at the end of the round with the most points gets $2500.

The object of this game is to win as many holes as possible. The player with the best hole score for each hole wins the hole, any tied holes are thrown out and are not counted. If player A has won 2 holes, it is displayed as "2 Up." If Player B wins the next hole, player A is now "1 Up." The player who wins the most holes wins the match.

This game is played similarly to standard match play where the player with the best score for the hole goes "1 Up." If there is a tie for the best score, that hole is thrown out. If the same player won the next hole, he/she would go "2 Up." In Nassau, there are 3 "matches." The 1st match is the Front 9 holes, the player who won the most holes on the Front 9 wins $2, the 2nd match, the Back 9 holes is worth another $2. The player with the most holes won overall wins an additional $2.

All players for Team A hit their tee shot then the best ball is selected and all players for Team A hit from there. This occurs for every shot until the ball is hit into the hole. The stroke total is then calculated against par, just like normal stroke play. The team with the lowest stroke total at the end of the round wins.

Each hole is worth a set dollar amount (a skin). If a player scores the lowest score for the hole (w/o any ties), he/she wins that amount. If there is a tie for the best score for the hole, the money for that hole is carried over to the next hole. The player with the most money at the end of the round wins.
