SAMPLE GAME

The Pocket Guide to Great Games for Golf is designed for anyone who loves golf and likes to play side games with your partners. Here’s a sample game for you to try:

ACEY—DEUCEY © 2002
A Skins game with a twist 

NUMBER OF PLAYERS: Any number

OBJECT OF THE GAME: To make a lower score than any other player to win a Skin, AND to not make a higher score than any other player to avoid paying each of your opponents.

Scoring can be either your actual scores (Gross), or using handicap stokes (Net).

Each hole represents a chance to earn a point from your playing partners for the single lowest score. And, if a player posts a score higher than all others on the hole, he/she looses a point paid to each opponent. The value of each point is determined before the round begins. The ACE is considered the lowest score on any hole, the DEUCE is for highest score. ACE’s are worth two times the DEUCE points.

FOR EXAMPLE: $1.00 Ace and 50¢ Deuce Points

1. Scores = Bob 5, Jeff 6, Sam 5 and Dylan 4. (Dylan is the ACE, Jeff the DEUCE)

Dylan earns $1.00 each from Bob, Jeff and Sam for the single low score. (And the deuce - Jeff pays a total of $1.50 to Dylan)

Jeff, the Deuce,  owes 50¢ each to Bob, Sam and Dylan (DEUCE) as his was the single highest score.

2. Scores = Bob 4, Jeff 4, Sam 4 and Dylan 5

In this situation, there are no points for lowest score. (ACE)

Dylan owes Bob, Jeff, and Sam 50¢ each for the single highest score on the hole. (He is the DEUCE)

Carryovers are optional for the lowest score (ACE) points. In the example above, there is $3.00 to be won if you’re the ACE on a hole. If two tie for the low score (as in example #2) then all tie and the $3.00 is carried over to the next hole which then becomes worth $6.00 if you are the ACE. 50¢ is still the only amount at risk for a single highest score.
