What are the rules for playing a "Turkey Run" in Golf?

Hiya everyone, I have been told a little about a version of golf called a "turkey run". All I can remember is that it is similar to speed golf in that you are limited to a small number of clubs but that's all. Does anyone know the rules of the game? I cant find any info on the net at all. Thanks!What are the rules for playing a "Turkey Run" in Golf?I've never heard of the game myself. I looked it up and I couldn't find anything about that, or anything like it. I did however, find a couple other games that could fall in the same category as "Turkey Run". They are "One-Club" and "Bag Raid".

One Club is a golf tournament or game that is exactly what it sounds like: all the players play with just one club. The club can be specified by the tournament organizers, but usually the choice of club is left up to each player.Bag Raid, a.k.a Pick Up Sticks, is a match play game between two players. It's pretty simple: Every time a player wins a hole, his opponent gets to choose one club from his bag and remove that club from play.

Example: After A wins the first hole, B removes A's pitching wedge from play. For the rest of the round, A cannot use that pitching wedge.Any club can be chosen, but most players give immunity to the putter (otherwise it would be the first club to go, and putting is hard enough without having to do it without a putter).The strategy - well, aside from the strategy of not losing holes - is to first remove from your opponent's bag the clubs which he's most comfortable and best with.When playing Bag Raid, make sure you carry the maximum allowed 14 clubs at the start of the round.Bag Raid can be a good game for learning creative shots and practicing draws, fades, punch shots and the like. Because by the turn - unless you're winning every hole - you'll be playing shots for which you may no longer have the appropriate club.

Hope this helps. One club is a very fun game. I play it all the time with my buddies. Good luck and have fun playing. Happy Holidays!What are the rules for playing a "Turkey Run" in Golf?Don't know, sorry.
