Deuce Golf

Deuce Golf is another “Pearl of Golf. You score Deuce Golf exactly like you score tennis.

This is another self esteemed based golf scoring system that attempts to level the playing field for golfers of different abilities and make golf more fun for the amateur. It is competitive yet non-competitive at the same time if played with players of similar talents. Not recommended for large mismatches in abilities as that just makes the better player a show off and a golfing bully!

Here is Deuce Golf works (notice how short the rules are):

 Each hole must be won by two strokes to score one point. If at the end of each hole the score is Deuce, you simply move on to the next hole all square.

Time permitting (as long as you do not slow down play) if you hit your first drive out of the fairway or OB you can hit another ball with no penalty. 

At the end of eighteen holes the player with the most points wins. I played this method with my friend Charlie (I call him "Coach") the final score was Charlie 3 - Greg -2.

It's OK to play lift, clean and cheat if you agree to it before you tee off.

We divided honors (who tees off first) into 4 sections: One player always tees off first for the first six holes, the second player for the next six holes. After that honors returns to the first player for three holes and the second player for three holes to complete eighteen.

Deuce Golf is Match play (2 players)

Observation:

What Deuce Golf discourages is blow up holes (big numbers like snow men or greater).
