worst ball..

play 2 or 3 off the tee and always play the worst ball for the next shot

Found this on here http://www.playgolf.co.uk/alternate-formats/

"Herman & Sherman – Play the odd numbered holes with fade and the even numbered holes with a draw. This can be varied by playing 2 or 3 holes of each before switching, or alternate between fade and draws for after every shot."

personally prefer to play "find someone to join up with before teeing off"

 

[Coffey]

I always use my first ball as if it was a comp ball, so play all shots as they come and always hole out etc.

I will then play a 2nd or 3rd ball depending on how busy it is and ill practice shots with it and try different things, will replay shots if I'm not happy.

This.....and even extend it further and make it a worseball scramble....so do it for every shot.....really heaps the pressure on when you've just nailed your first approach from 130 yards to 5 ft!!! Hole a 20 footer for birdie....forget it.....have another go!!!

Is that the game were as you're walking off the 18th you tell the LPool ball "next round is their round"

Matchplay against the course, you get your shots at SI you are due and the course always scores par.

If it is quiet I will play two different makes of ball eg Titleist and Srixon and have a match. Sometimes the winner gets to be the make of ball in play for the next comp.

I used to do that as a youngster......trouble was the Dunlop 65 was always my favourite.

Isn't that called a bogey comp?

Yeah, I tend to play that on my own too.

This is what I pretty much always play when I'm womballing

If I'm playing a solo round I don't worry too much about scores and if allowed and possible play a couple of balls. The first as it lies and the second from the same spot but trying different shots such as a fade/draw or a high or low shot. I just like to try different shots and when I get to the green I'll try different shots and lies and see what works and doesn't
