A fun way to always mix up a golf game with friends is to "play the trash". What we do is play skins + trash. What is the trash? Well trash is anything you encounter in the hole, you add it to your teams winnings (details on trash items below).
So for example, we are playing $2 skins and pick up one piece of trash, our team wins $3. Of course you can value trash how you want, but we make it a dollar extra. If both players have trash, they both count. Oh...and your trash only counts if your team wins the hole....sorry.
Trash:
Barky - Your ball hits any part of a tree at anytime during the hole (double and triple barky's count)
Carty - Your ball hits a cart path during the hole
Pole-y - You make a putt longer than the length of the flag stick (You can use strategy here when chipping, sometimes too close may cost you a pole-y if you know your partner already has the hole won)
Sandy - Your ball touches a bunker at any point in the hole (yes, rolling thru a bunker and out counts)
Hogan - Only eligible for Par 4's: You land on the fairway off the tee, hit the green in regulation and two putt (fringe on the green DOES NOT count)
Greeny - Only eligible for Par 3's: You land on the green off the tee and two putt for par (fringe does not count)
Birdie Pop - On any hole if your team has a birdie and wins the hole, the skin doubles
Now go out at there and collect on your barky-poley-Hogan-birdie pop.
