Take Your Trash Talk and Laughs to a New Level

This exciting game levels the playing field for all golfers. Only 1 game is needed per foursome. The game begins by golfers agreeing on a value for the poker chips before teeing off. Each player begins the round with no chips. Golfers want the (red) positive chips and want to avoid the negative. The player that has the game hands out the chips as they are earned. The payoff is determined by the last golfer holding the chip at the end of 9 or 18 holes.

Beer Chip Golf Drinking Game

 

Vegas Golf Drinking Beer Chip Game for the Golf Course.

This one chip is a great way to avoid paying for Beer while you golf.  Only one chip is needed per foursome.  The Vegas Golf Beer Chip is only to be used on Par 3's.   Whoever has the worse tee shot gets the Beer Chip.  If it is in your pocket when the Beer Cart comes....guess who is buying?  How do you get rid of it? Better get to the next Par 3 and have a better shot!  Lots of laughs.

Vegas VIP Golf Game

 

Looking to add some humor to your golf trip? Try "Vegas Golf VIP Edition 19(pcs) Golf Game for the Golf Course!" Simply place a wager for each chip..$1 a chip. Each player earns a specific chip for achieving specific golf feats, like the longest drive in the fairway or making an impressive up-and-down. However you can earn a negative chip as well such as a Sand or Water Chip.  Or our new Grave Digger (when it takes you more than one shot to get out of a sand-trap). When a qualifying action is completed, that player receives the positive or negative chip. At the end of the round it is time to settle up.  It's a lighthearted way to enjoy some friendly banter and adds an element of surprise and laughter to the game.

ALL-IN: The High Stakes Challenge

For maximum flexibility and fun, consider Vegas Golf "All-IN" 27 chip Edition.  This game is ideal for those high roller golfers that like gamble some serious money on the course. This game has 27 different chips that represent both positive and negative shots. 

This exciting game levels the playing field for all golfers. Only 1 game is needed per foursome. The game begins by golfers agreeing on a value for the poker chips before teeing off. Each player begins the round with no chips. Golfers want the (red) positive chips and want to avoid the negative. The player that has the game hands out the chips as they are earned. The payoff is determined by the last golfer holding the chip at the end of 9 or 18 holes.

Example:

If someone hits their ball into the water, he receives the water chip. He can pass it when he sees another player go into the water. Same rule applies for positive chips. If someone is holding the Birdie Chip and a player birdies after...that player must ask for the chip before he walks off the green for that hole. It all comes down to the 18th.

Conclusion

Each of these games adds an extra layer of fun to your golfing experience, testing skill, luck, and strategy in equal measure.  Have lots of laughs and trash talk all day long. Remember, the key is to have fun and not let the wagering overshadow the enjoyment of the game itself. Swing easy, bet smartly, and enjoy the camaraderie of golf betting games.
