Do you have a regular group and if so, what do you play??

Skins? Bingo-Bango-Bongo? Wolf? Something else???

What about variations? For instance, do you have someone in the group much better then the rest that gives strokes? Stuff like that...




I've got a regular 3-some, sometimes a fourth, that plays Tuesday morning Skins, straight up, we are all fairly even in skill level (10-14's)

Then at 3 on weekdays, I hit the 9 hole where we have a group of anywhere from 4-12 (depending on the sun) that play skins across all the groups. This gets crazy and often times, we either end-up rolling over everything and throwing them all out, or, someone will sneak in a lone-bird on a hole and scoop up a butt-load of cash...

Fun stuff either way...

$20 Skins. Mainly because in skins anyone can win if they just have one great hole. I'm a 7 hndcp and some of the other guys have won state amateur championships, so there needs to be some luck involved.

I know it's -EV gambling, but the good players help me out with my swing. You can learn a lot about golf just by playing with better players.

There's also a few hackers who I play heads up for $1-2 a hole.
