At least in my rounds my friends and I aren't keeping score against each other, and as a result the rules aren't really enforced and no one gives a shit besides God Almighty as these fuckers make up bullshit scores all day long. I grew up playing team sports so I miss the competitive element and firmly believe that you can't get better at any sport unless you're playing with the right competition. I guess the next step is to enter tournaments and such.

of course. foursomes more often when we’re playing at my club, four ball usually elsewhere.

i stop teeing it up with people who don’t want to play a match. i’m not interested in playing “just for fun” because it’s actually much less fun imo. if im gonna keep score and have it not mean anything i’d rather play by myself

I'm with you. It's getting a little stale. Only so many times you can play against the course.

Do opposing teams keep score for your team? Or is it honor system?

There's a good low stakes betting game you can play that's fairly handicap agnostic

First onto green, shortest to hole on green, first to sink putt from green (lowest putts)

Like $5 each per hole

But it's annoying unless you have an autistic friend to keep track of who owes/wins what the whole round

lol @ a OP and his brown friends kicking balls out of trees when nobody is looking, taking mulligans left and right, giving themselves gimmies on 6-foot putts, etc.

only white people should be allowed to play golf. OP is constantly poasting about him and his friends cheating at golf. even jews dont do this shit.

50-50, but only lame "competition" like skins or lone wolf. That way whoever is having a shitty day can still participate and even occasionally collect.

None of us are great golfers, 10-15 handicap range. Might be different if we were better, but someone is usually playing like ass and it's no fun to lose 8 and 7 or whatever.

Was great off the drive today. But the approach shots were all shit. I fucked up my ankle badly when my friend thought a walking bridge could fit our cart, but instead of slowly entering he gunned it. My foot was slightly outside the cart. And it all happened on the first hole so it was a shitty day. Shot a 95.

I think it is entirely fair to insist that if someone is going to claim a score they adhere to the rules of golf pretty closely, but in real golf you are just out there on your own playing the course 99% of the time, the field is not on the hole with you, that is the part about golf you're supposed to care the most about so making your partners play some game if they just want to shoot a full round is dickish

I have a friend who is a beginner who cheated so terribly the one time I played with him, it actually lowered my opinion of him as a person.

It was his first year playing, he could only advance the ball 120-150 yards at a time on a good strike...kept it pretty straight and wasn't a bad chipper, but basically a bad enough new golfer that he really doesn't need to be keeping score.

Opening hole was a par 5 and he took 5 or 6 shots to get on, and on his fourth putt I stopped the ball with my foot and told him that's good. Said "Put me down for a 6" like some dumb instagram clip of ppl lying about their score. Probably shaved 25-30 strokes off over 18 holes, then was like "94, a new personal best." A few days later made a social media post about breaking 90 for the first time his next time out.

😂😂

I play with a guy like that. We’ve been playing for almost two years, took lessons together, etc. There’s another guy who started with us and he’s actually the worst of the three, but doesn’t really publicize his score probably out of shame.

The other guy sucks off the tee. I’d say on half the holes he hits a second ball after the other one either moon balls 30 yards in front or goes out of bounds. If the second one is unplayable then he drops next to whoever had the longest drive.

He has never taken a penalty stroke. His scorecards are all public on Grint, by last count he has had 5 holes in one. I now judge my own progress by whether or not I have beaten his fake score. I’m usually off by about 7 strokes though. When I got a 95 recently, which was a personal best, I checked and he had given himself an 87. We rode together and I played better than him the entire round.

It’s insane. It’s hard to get better imo playing with people like this.

Absolutely. The coolest way to be a good friend is to take a chill, casual round of golf with your bros and be a total faggot about it by competing stroke for stroke and calling out minute penalties and rule deviations.

Friend I normally play with - not really competitive at all, we give each other putts liberally, he/his friends take favorable drops, don't gamble, really just both of us trying to beat the course as best we can

Friend back home - Foursomes always involve 2 on 2 gambling, and he'll often have a side game 1 v 1 with a member of the foursome. Very strict on gimmes. Strictly by the rules (no treating OB the same as red/yellow stakes or dropping on the other side of the hazard), with the exception of a lost ball we all agree to have been in play gets a free drop (e.g. ball plugged in the deep rough somewhere or there's tons of leaves on the ground and we can't find it). It's not really cuthroat or anything and no real shit talking, just more competitive.

i once played a round with a pair and another solo on a muni course. the other solo casually told us at the first tee that he had a serious match coming up on the course the following weekend and that he wanted to move his ball to more difficult lies and placements but that he would make sure he didn't slow down play. it was classy the way he handled it.

on a tee on the back nine a group of young hispanic boys were on a bike path above the tee and the other solo casually told us under his breath that the boys had agreed to scream during the backswing of whoever teed off first. so he did an overly elaborate addressing of the ball and on the backswing flung his club backwards and took off running and screaming at the boys -- who immediately dashed away. i don't know why but the other solo's class and humor have stayed with me.

There was a funny golf digest article from the 90s where some young golf writer was basically broke but scraped together enough $ to play Pebble Beach and was paired with three guys who normally played Nassaus "for five". The guy was sweating it because he couldn't afford to lose $15 but ended up winning three ways and realized afterwards they meant $500, so he won $1500.
