    Game formats for a fourball?

    Myself and three friends are going to Scotland for a week`s golf in September as we do every year, and I just wondered if anyone knows of any different game formats to play?
    We don`t normally play for money, and usually play 2 vs 2 better ball matchplay, (but record our stroke score as well)
    It`s not that I`m bored with this format, I just thought we might be missing out on something good?

    A good change of the ol' standards is my favorite "Wolf". You keep your score for the whole round so you don't miss out on your total score. Here's how you play.

    One player each hole is the "Wolf", where they tee off first. Rotate the wolf every hole in sequence. So if you are the wolf on 1, you will be it on 5...

    After hitting your shot you get to wait to see what the next players shot looks like. If you like it, then pick that player as your partner for that hole. Play out the hole and is it best score for that hole wins the point. Keep track of each player's score getting the point for a win, 0 for a tie, and -1 for a loss.

    The fun starts when you didn't like any of the tee shots and you go "Wolf". It is you against all 3. If you win, you get 3 points, loose and it's -3. The others get +1, -1.

    Everyone puts in a base bet and it's winner take all.

      Thanks, that sounds good - when you`re the Wolf, do you choose your partner for the hole when everyone has teed off or do you have to pick and stick?
