Vegas
Your team's two net balls glue into one number — low ball first — and the low number wins the difference in points. A gross birdie flips the other team's number the wrong way. It adds up fast; that's the point.
Get SuperWolfHow it works
Vegas is a foursome team game where your team's two scores combine into one number — and the low number takes the difference in points. No holes “won,” no halves — every hole pays.
- A foursome, two teams: pick partners however you decide off the tee — left/right, long/short, closest balls — or keep them sticky all day.
- Stick your two net scores together: a team's number is its two net balls (gross minus your pops) concatenated low ball first. A net 4 and a net 6 make 46. Each ball caps at 9, so one blow-up can't run the number clean away.
- Low number wins the difference: 46 beats 55 by 9 — that's nine points to the low team. Every hole, no exceptions.
The birdie twist
Birdies are where Vegas gets dangerous. Both toggles are optional — turn them off for a plain game, if plain is your thing.
- A birdie flips the other team: make a gross birdie and the other team's number flips high ball first — their 4 and 5 becomes 54 instead of 45. So 35 vs 54 is 19 points, not 10. If both teams birdie, nobody flips.
- Two birdies double it: if the winning team makes two gross birdies, the points double. 33 vs 54 is 21 — doubled to 42. A great hole doesn't just win; it leaves a mark.
The money
Set a whole-dollar price per point. Each winner collects that per point and each loser pays the same — a 9-point hole at $1 is +$9 for the winners and −$9 for the losers. Points swing big in Vegas, so price accordingly.
Good to know
- Foursome only — two teams of two, picked each hole or held all 18.
- Net numbers, gross birdies — your pops drive the team numbers, but only a gross birdie flips or doubles.
- Cap of 9 — a net score over 9 counts as 9 in the bet, so a blow-up hurts but doesn't detonate.
Your side posts a net 4 and a net 6 — that's 46. They post two 5s — 55. Nine points, $9 a man. Next hole your partner makes a gross birdie: your 35 stands and their 4-and-5 flips to 54 — 19 points. Feels fantastic. Unless you're them.
The math does itself
Enter four scores and the hole settles on the spot: both team numbers, who wins, how many points, and what it costs each man — birdie flips and doubles included. Nobody re-derives a 44 vs 55 three beers later; the card already said 11 points, winners +$11, losers −$11.
