Fun Read

Chi Chi has such a great sense of humor and loves to bet on golf games. He has a great selection of games people can play while playing golf. I enjoyed the book then gave it to a friend who is in charge of our Ladies Play events. Hopefully she can get some ideas from Chi Chi's games. Letta Meinen

Motivational and Fun Golf Games

Leave it to Chi Chi to make a great game even more entertaining. Here is a great collection of games for singles, groups, even tournaments to enhance one's outing and even provide competition while on the range.For instance, there's an outing format called Tombstone where each player is given target score (3/4 handicap) and when that score is reached, stop there and mark it with tee and paper showing he reached that. Player that gets furthest wins.Or Bucket, a driving range competiton awarding points for accuracy with the longest club.Great fun stuff with wide variety, and improvement hints throughout by a golfer we all know works hard at his game, but has fun doing it.
