  • Triples is a very simple golf game for three players.
  • Each player earns a specific number of points based on their score for each hole. This is how points are awarded:
  • The player with the best or lowest score gets 6 points
  • The player with the middle score gets 4 points
  • The player with the worst score gets 2 points.
  • All three players add the accumulated points throughout the round,and the player with the most points wins the game.
  • In case of a tie, the points are added together and then divided by the number of players who are tied. For example, Player A scores 2, Player B scores 4, and Player C also scores 2 on Hole 1. Since Player B has the highest score, they get 2 points. Since Players A and B are tied for the 6 and 4 points, the points are added together and then divided by the number of players i.e., 2.

        6 + 4 = 10 / 2 = 5

        So, both Player A and Player B get 5 points.

        • If all three players tie on a hole, then,

        6 + 4 +2 = 12 / 3 = 4

        So, each player gets 4 points.

              Variations:

              The Triples game may or may not be played as a betting game. There are two options for a betting game:

              1. All three players can put an agreed-upon amount into the pot at the start of the game, say $2 or $5. The player with the most points at the end of the round wins the pot.

                          Each point can be worth a monetary value, e.g., $1, and the point differences between each player can be paid out at the end of the round.
