Bingo Bango Bongo
Bingo Bango Bongo gives out three points on every hole: one for the first ball on the green, one for the ball closest to the pin once everyone is on, and one for the first to hole out. Scores do not matter, so every handicap competes on equal terms.
How to play
- Play the hole in the correct order: the player farthest from the hole always plays next.
- Bingo goes to the first player to get their ball on the green.
- Bango goes to the player whose ball is closest to the hole once all balls are on the green.
- Bongo goes to the first player to hole out.
- Add up the points over the round. By default each pair settles the difference in points at the value of one point.
Example
On hole 4 Ann is first on the green and takes the bingo. Once all balls are on, Bo is closest and takes the bango. Cy holes out first and takes the bongo. Each of them scores 1 point.
