We gotta play something, whether it be Wolf or skins or just as simple as fairways, greens and putts. Small steaks of course.

 

Back in the days when I played with a regular group, we typically played a $2 Nassau. The winners picked up the tab in the 19th hole so it was pretty much a break even proposition.

 

Filet's??

 

As long as the escape goat doesn't eat them

 

How often do you play Wolf? I played it once many years ago. I had no idea what was going on and I had to have one of the guys walk me through the process. In the end I ended up winning a couple of bucks. I had no idea how.

 

So often that I would have to call my fil and ask him how. I've only played it with him and he is about the most crooked and cheatinest mf'r on the planet so I'm not even sure it's legit. Bastard probably just took my money.

If I remember correctly you team up in a twosome that is sort of a random draw for each hole so "the wolf" could be different each hole. Then you play the hole and it becomes a scoring nightmare so we aren't playing that shit.

 

Trash is sandies, etc

 

In this case trash is $5.00 for each birdie, sandy (getting up and down from a bunker in par or better) and greenie (being on the green and closest to the pin in one stroke on a par 3).

 

Wolf is a little involved. You set up a rotation and the players have to hit in order off the tee but the rotation changes each hole. On hole #1 player #1 hits first then the other players hit in order. After player #2 hits his tee shot player #1 gets to choose if he wants player #2 for his partner on the hole. If he wants player #2 he must choose him before player #3 hits, once player #3 hits he can no longer choose player #2. Say in this case he chooses player #3 for his partner. Player #4 hits his tee shot and the match on that hole is players #1 and #3 vs players #2 and #4 playing best ball. If the hole is tied no one gets any points. If players #1 and #3 win the hole they each get plus 1 point each and players #2 and #4 get minus 1 point each. On hole #2 player #2 hits first, player #3 hits second, player #4 hits third and player #1 hits fourth and so on and so forth. Some times the first player to hit will not choose any of the other three as partner and he becomes "the Wolf." In this case he is playing against the other three on that hole. Now, if the 'Wolf" wins the hole he gets plus 3 points and each of the others get minus 1 point each. Now here is where the game can vary depending on what is agreed to on the first tee. In some groups the "Wolf" has to win the hole or he loses 3 points, others play if the hole is tied no one gets any points. At the end of the game they add up the points and the guy or guys who are minus pay into the pot the amount they are minus and the guy or guys who are plus get the spoils. Depending on how much each point is worth is what can make the game interesting. Most folks probably play $1.00 a point, I've never played for more, but I've heard of games where each point was worth $100.00!
