Explanation of the Games

Dots Game

Players earn dots for:

• Birdies
• Sandies (up and down for par or better from a bunker)
• Net skins (with carry over). Net par or better to win.
• Greenies on par 3s and par 5s
• Eagles are worth 2 dots

Each time a dot is won, all players contribute the set Dot Value to the pot.

Buy-in: Total dots won × Dot Value.

Payout: Each player receives (number of players × Dot Value) for each dot they earn.

Example (4 players): 30 total dots, Dot Value $5. Each player contributes $150 (30 × $5). A player with 10 dots receives $200 (10 × $20), minus $150 buy-in = $50 net win.

Example (5 players): 30 total dots, Dot Value $5. Each player contributes $150 (30 × $5). A player with 10 dots receives $250 (10 × $25), minus $150 buy-in = $100 net win.

Putting Game

Each player contributes the buy-in to the pot.

• The player with the fewest total putts wins the pot.
• If two players tie, they split the pot.
• If three or more tie, no one wins.
• Players add the 3-Putt Penalty amount to the pot each time they 3-putt or worse.

With 5 players: The winner collects the buy-in from all 4 other players, plus any 3-putt penalties.

6-Hole Team Bet

4 Players:

Two-man six hole matches. The team with the most points wins the match. Players are randomly paired, rotating partners so each player teams up with the other three players once over 6 holes.

5 Players:

One two-man team vs. one three-man team. Teams rotate so each player gets different teammates and opponents over the three 6-hole segments.

Scoring:

• 1 point for the lowest individual net score
• 1 point for the lowest combined team net score
• 5-player note: Three-man team uses lowest + highest score (middle score ignored)

Wager: The amount entered is the value of each bet.

Auto-Presses: A press is automatically triggered if a team falls behind by 2 points. Up to 4 presses (plus the original bet) can occur by the end of Hole 5. On Hole 6, the losing team may optionally press to try to break even.
