Wolfman

By , About.com Guide

Definition: Wolfman is a betting game that has silimarities to Wolf, Hog and Defender. But Wolfman is a game specifically for groups of three players, and in Wolfman, the "it" player, so to speak, is automatically chosen based on driving performance.

Here's how Wolfman works: All three players in the group tee off. On par 4s and par 5s, the middle drive (second-longest drive, in other words) becomes the Wolfman; on par 3s, the second closest to the hole is the Wolfman. The other two members of the group are the Hunters.

The hole is played out. The Hunters' net scores are added together; the Wolfman's net score is doubled. If the Wolfman's doubled score is lower than the Hunters' combined score, the Wolfman wins the hole (and the bet). If the Hunters' combined score is lower, they win the hole and bet.

Say the bet is $1 per hole. If the Wolfman wins the hole, each Hunter owes the Wolfman $1; if the Hunters win the hole, the Wolfman owes each Hunter $1.
