Favorite Games at OCL Clubs

The Coho Standard Nassua

  • 2 man teams, played at 90% net off the low man unless close enough caps to play straight up

  • Breakfast balls off first tee (if you choose to hit one you play it)

  • Automatic 2-down presses

  • Sides are worth $10, but this can be adjusted on first tee to whatever suits the group

  • Dots are pooled to form sides, as follows:

    • First team that gets 5 dots wins a side, and a fresh dot pool starts

    • Whoever has the most dots in the last dot pool at the close of #18 wins the final pool

    • Dots are recorded as soon as shot is holed or given (this is important in a race to 5)

  • Standard dots are as follows, but others can be added (be creative):

    • Birdies / Eagles (worth 2)

    • Greenies (closest to the pin on par 3s, but have to 2 putt),

    • Whippins (a hole out for par or better from off the green)

    • Sandies (up and down from the sand for par or better, but note: has to be an up and down or hole out, i.e. the next shot after the bunker shot has to be holed; you can double these up if two shots out of bunker then holing for par)

    • You can get multiple dots on one hole, e.g. a bunket shot holed for birdie is a birdie, whippin, sandy for 3 dots

    • Snakes - Opposing team can call a snake if they want to wager a player on the other team will 3 putt.  If the player 3 putts the opposing team gets a dot, if they 4 putt the opposing team gets 3 dots.  If they 2 putt they get the dot, and if they 1 putt they get 3 dots.

Coho Vegas

An optional, higher stakes game best played with equally matched teams so handicaps do not have to be used.  Another 4-ball match where the two scores from each team are combined to form a 2-digit number.  For example, if team A makes a 4 and 5 on hole 1 (a par 4) and team B makes a 5 and 6, the score is 45 to 56 so +11 for team A; note the low score is used as the first digit. If a player makes a birdie or better, this flips the other team's digits so the higher number goes first.  So for the example above if one player on team A made a 3, the score would be 35 to 65 for +30.  If both players on the same team make birdie or better the bet for that hole is doubled.  For example, team A makes two 3s and team B makes a 4 and a 5.  That is 33-54 and bet is doubled so result is +42.

Standard game at Cohasset is $1 a point with a max loss of $100 per player, but points and maxes can be negotiated on first tee.

The Coho Bellagio Add-on

Can be decided on first tee as an available option and works as follows:

After the completion of the 17th hole, the losing team can put it all on the line and go double or nothing on the final hole.  For example, team A is down $50 dollars through 17 and 1 down in a final match (assume $10 Nassau).  Team A can go “Bellagio” and play the 18th hole for $60 dollars (they are forfeiting the final open match they are down to execute the option).  If they win the hole, they break even.  If the tie, they lose the $60 and if they lose the hole they lose $120.
