Golf Games: Putting Poker

September 8, 2010

In putting poker, players try to get the best poker hand by making putts.

To begin, each player is given a card at random from a deck. Players take an additional card each time they one putt. At the end of the round, the player with the best poker hand wins.

It occurs to me as I’m thinking about this, though, that some modifications may be in order for the ordinary group of weekenders. In Putting Poker Lite, one card is awarded for a two putt, and two cards for a one putt. This will result in a higher number of cards, so players can keep no more than five. When a sixth card is earned, one must be returned before drawing.

I like putting games because players with disparate full swing games often find an equal footing on the greens.
