What is a cool and unique game to play during a golf tournament?

I am running a golf tournament to help raise money for a local high school football team. I need games to play during the tournament. we already have closest to hole and longest drive.

what else do you have?What is a cool and unique game to play during a golf tournament?Here sre a few ideas from our outings ...........





This is a great contest and pretty good fundraiser also. On all of the par 3's create a 15' circle with chalk or rope and have players put $5 each on their tee shots.



If their ball goes in the circle - they get a raflle ticket along with all of the other winners. At the end of the tourney - draw one ticket and that person wins half the money. Yor orginization gets the other half!





On the par fives - have a closest to the hole on the second shot. Same concept as closest to the pin on the par 3's - only this is on second shots.





Another alternative to longest drive is "straightest drive". Have a chalk line drawn on a certain hole and whoeve drives their ball closest to the line wins. Helps the shorter hitters who cannont compete on longest drives





Skins is probably the most common game that give teams to win money on every hole.



Hope your tourney goes well!What is a cool and unique game to play during a golf tournament?If you are playing a scramble format you limit the number of side games a bit. Longest Drive and Closest to the pin are about all you can do but you can double them up and have a closest to the pin on both sides if not all par 3 holes. Longest drive on 2 holes also makes sense if they are long enough and straight enough with enough open space to make it fun.



If you have access to a driving range or putting green other contests can be held.



If you play a best ball tournament you can have prizes for lowest individual round (since in a best ball you can have a team and individual score kept) you can also award prizes for lowest scores on certain holes and for things like lowest putts. In this format you can also run a Skins game on the side.



FYI; A Best Ball tournament is when you play your own ball through the green and select the best score from your team's balls to put on the team's score. Each hole is scored in this fashion.

When you play a scramble each player hits and the team selects which ball to use on each shot.What is a cool and unique game to play during a golf tournament?1. Straightest drive. You run a string down the middle of the fairway and the ball closest to the string wins.

2. One club hole - everyone has to play the hole with just their five iron (or whatever club you pick).

3. Three stroke maximum - everyone gets a special tee with a little strip of paper attached with their name on it. At a par five you plant your tee where your third shot came to rest, closest to the hole wins.What is a cool and unique game to play during a golf tournament?
You should play best ball.



Basically everyone on a team hits off the tee and then the team selects which ball to play. From there every one from the team shoots from that position, picking up the other balls that were not chosen. and you continue in that fashion.
