Snake
In Snake the player who last three-putts holds the snake, and whoever is still holding it when the round ends pays everyone else. It is a putting game that anyone can lose.
How to play
- Nobody holds the snake at the start of the round.
- The first player to three-putt takes the snake. Each time a different player three-putts, the snake passes to them.
- Agree what counts as a putt. The default counts only strokes made from the putting surface.
- At the end of the round (or each nine if you play it that way) the holder pays every other player the stake.
- The stake can be flat, grow by a step with each three-putt, or double each time.
Example
Four players at 2 flat. Ann three-putts on hole 3 and takes the snake. Bo three-putts on hole 11 and it passes to him. No one three-putts after that.
