BEEZER GOLF

Wolfman is often confused with the four-player game “Wolf”, but is, in fact, an entirely different betting game meant for three players.
Handicaps are used in this game.
In this game, a different “Wolfman” is chosen on each hole based on the tee shots. The other two players are called the “Hunters”.
The Wolfman’s goal is to score more than the combined score of the two hunters.
This is how the Wolfman is chosen for each hole:
All players tee off on a given hole.
On par-4 and par-5 holes, the player with the middle drive becomes the Wolfman.
On par-3 holes, the Wolfman is the player whose ball is the second closest to the hole.
The game is played in stroke play. The net scores of the Hunters are added together while the Wolfman’s net score is doubled.
If the Wolfman’s doubled score is higher than the Hunters’ combined score, they win the hole and the bet and receive the agreed-upon amount from each Hunter.
If the Wolfman’s score is lower than the Hunters’ score, they win the hole and the bet. If the Hunters win the bet, the Wolfman owes each Hunter the agreed-upon amount, e.g., $1.
If a hole is halved, the betting amount can either be discarded or carried over to the next hole. That is for the group of players to decide.

Example

Suppose three players, A, B, and C, are playing Wolfman. Player A is the Wolfman, while players B and C are the Hunters.
The two Hunters score a net 4 and 6, respectively, while the Wolfman scores a net 4. Since this game uses full handicap, the Wolfman’s score is doubled to 8 while the Hunters’ combined score is 10. Since the Wolfman scored the lower score, they win the hole.
