Dot Game

(Also known as Garbage, Junk, Trash)

HOW TO PLAY

The objective of the game is to earn the most dots. Dots can be earned for seemingly endless feats such as Barkies, Sandies, Hogans, Chippies, Greenies, Polie, Fairways, Long Drive, Closest to the Pin, etc… Most often, to earn a Dot, you also have to earn a score of net par or better.

VARIATIONS & PRESSES

The variations are predominantly in choosing what is going to count as a dot. Some dots favor weaker players and some dots favor consistency, so make sure you choose a good mix!
