Suggestions Needed: 4 man Golf Games

[JohnSmalls]

Tomorrow is a highly anticipated day.  @20xUnited is coming into town and we are playing golf with a couple of guys that are close friends and that don't play regularly.  They hit some good shots, but as with any of us consistency can be a problem.  United and I were talking and we had the idea of breaking the round up in to either 3 or 6 hole segments or mini-rounds of team play and rotate partners after every segment.  Our goal is to keep the round as fun tomorrow as we can especially for our non-playing compadres.  Other than playing match play the whole time, what are some other ways or games that we can split up our round?

My only thought would be to just do a 4 man best ball.

Bingo, Bango, Bongo is a good game for players of mixed capabilities.  I played it with my buddies when I was just learning to play; lots of fun.

I play Wolf occasionally but it's a little different than described above.  All of the players have similar handicaps.  The order is determined and the person on the tee has the option to "Wolf" after his tee shot, or pick a partner.  He can pick the second player after he tees off, but if he doesn't before the third player tees off, then he can't pick him.  If he doesn't pick the third player, then he automatically gets the fourth player.  We play for quarters, and payout is immediate... at the next tee box.  The player also has the option to Lone Wolf before his tee shot for double quarters.  With 4 players, that leaves holes 17 and 18. The players with the fewest quarters gets the opportunity to be the Wolf on 17 to make it up.  If he wins, the next lowest player gets to Wolf on 18.  One day I was tied with another player for least quarters after 16, so we flipped for who would Wolf 17 and who would Wolf 18.

I'd suggest a Texas Scramble, modified or not. Gives you the opportunity to shoot a super low score as a team and no harm done if someone hits a really bad shot, unless you all do together at the same time lol.
