Wolf
Format:
Team
No. of Players: 4
Wolf is a game in which the players in a foursome establish
a tee off order on the first tee and rotate that same order
throughout the round. The player that tees off first is the
Wolf. The players take turns playing the Wolf based on the
rotation of the established tee off order.
The Wolf has the following options:
1) Choose one of the other three players as a partner for
the hole (see example), or
2) Play the hole alone against the other three players.
Example:
The Wolf would tee off first.
The second player in the rotation tees off next.
Based on the results of the second players drive, the Wolf
has the option to select the second player as a partner or
pass. (Here is where the strategy begins). Once the third
player hits their tee shot, the second player is no longer
eligible as a partner for the Wolf. Likewise, once the
fourth player hits their drive, the third player is no
longer eligible as a partner for the Wolf.
Once the fourth player tees off, the Wolf must select the
fourth player as a partner for the hole, or play the hole
alone against the other three players.
Wolf can be played low ball or low total.
Points are earned as follows:
· Winning team: 2 points each player
· Wolf plays alone and wins:Wolf earns 3 points
· Wolf plays alone and one player beats Wolf: All players
earn 2 points except Wolf.
· No Points earned for ties.

Las Vegas
Format:
Team
No. of Players: 4
This game is played by one twosome against another. On each
hole, the team players arrange their two scores to make the
lowest possible two digit number.
Example: On team A, one team member has a 4, the other a 5.
The two member team score for the hole would be a 45.
The points per hole is determined by the difference between
the two team scores. If team A scores make a 45 and team B
scores make a 55, the difference is 10 points. 55-45=10.
Team A would win 10 points for the hole.
