  • Bounce back is a game that allows players to “bounce back” into the game after a bad hole. Every time a player scores a double bogey or worse, they can either gain a point or lose a point on the next hole. If the player is able to make par or better after a double bogey or worse, they are awarded one point. However, if they follow up a double bogey with another double bogey or worse, they lose a point.
  • After the round, the final score after the points have been gained and lost is calculated, and the player or team with the most points at the end of the round wins.
  • There are different options available for this game. It can be turned into a betting game and an agreed-upon amount can be awarded to the winner at the end of the round. In some games, making a birdie after a double bogey or the third double bogey is worth double.
