Three Little Pigs

By , About.com Guide

See More About:
Definition: "Three Little Pigs" (or 3 Little Pigs) is a competition format that allows golfers to get rid of their worst scores from the round.

At the end of the round, all golfers or teams find their three worst scores. And those scores disappear. Throw them out. The 15 holes that remain are added up to create the Three Little Pigs score.

(Don't you wish you could throw your three worst scores out of every round?)

This format is sometimes called Three Blind Mice (but note that Three Blind Mice can also mean something different).
