When is everyone off? What's the likelyhood of a morning or afternoon mini on one of those days? :D

Off both days, will play either day, will play anytime.

We should get a game of wolf going for one of those afternoons.

I'm one of the low senority guys at my work. I won't find out till Monday. :(

I would love to play with you guys either day! :)

I'll be on vacation all that week and I'm the man to beat! or is it I'm the man easy to beat?

Sounds like we have a crew! Big or small we can get together and chuck some plastic!!! As the time gets closer we can hammer out the details.

Frolf it up! Frolf it up!!

If Bird can't make it, I'll still be there! :D:o

Some one refresh me on the rules of Wolf since I'm about to give some one a $20 Christmas present.

I'll post the info later. I just read the rules for Wolf and I think I'll need to adjust the money due to the lone wolf rule. More details to come ...

HOW TO PLAY WOLF
Skin Amount Per Player: $0.25
Wolf is a variation of doubles and skins, (and kind of like Australian doubles) combined together.

<u> Playing Order &amp; Number of Holes Played </u>
To start determine a tee-off order for all 7 of you. Do this by conducting a CTP. The order established for teeing off WILL NOT CHANGE. Instead of changing the tee order, honors is rotated. Player1 tees off first on the first hole, then Player2, Player3, Player4, Player5, Player6, and finally Player7 tee off in that order. On the second hole, Player2 tees off first, then Players3, Player4, Player5, Player6, Player7, and Player1 all tee off (in that order). On the third hold, Player three tees off first, then Players4, Player5, Player6, Player7, Player1, and finally Player2 all tee off (in that order). You get the idea. On the eighth hole, Player1 has honors again. Do not limit a game of wolf to 18 holes, pick out three extra holes and play a round of 21 holes, that way everybody gets to tee off first 3 times equally. (3 times 7 equals 21 for all you mathematicians.)

<u> How to Play </u>
After the first player tees off, he has two options. He calls "Wolf" or he calls "Shopping." If he is shopping, that means he is looking for a partner on this hole. He watches the second player tee. After the second player's shot comes to rest, the first player has the option of choosing that player as his doubles partner for this hole, or to continue shopping and watching the next drive. You get to watch the shot before you decide whether you want that player as your partner or not! Pretty cool! The player MUST announce whether or not he wants that shot as his partner BEFORE the next player drives (the next player should wait for him to decide). Once the first player has chosen a partner it is then the two of them playing best shot against the other five players in the group for this hole (on the next hole, the player teeing off first gets to have these choices all over again). The first player's team gets to choose the best out of their TWO drives, and take one putt each from that lie. The other team gets to choose the best of their five drives and take one putt each from that lie. It is two players against five players. The advantage normally goes to the two player team because the first player has had the opportunity to hand pick one of the drives. If the first player passes on everybody's drive, he automatically gets paired up with the last player on the tee (because he needs a partner, and at this point nobody else is left).

<u> How to Win a Hole </u>
Whichever team wins a hole, based on lowest score, all players on that team get 1 skin each from the losing team players.
If there is 1 skin up for grabs
If the five member team wins a hole, all five members on that team receive $0.25 from each of the two losing players.
If the two member team wins a hole, both members on that team receive $0.25 from each of the five losing players.
If the hole is tied or halved, the skins are carried over to the next hole.

If there are 2 skins up for grabs
If the five member team wins a hole, all five members on that team receive $0.50 (2 skins) from each of the two losing players.
If the two member team wins a hole, both members on that team receive $0.50 (2 skins) from each of the five losing players.
If the hole is tied or halved, the skins are carried over to the next hole.

If there are 3 skins up for grabs
If the five member team wins a hole, all five members on that team receive $0.75 (3 skins) from each of the two losing players.
If the two member team wins a hole, both members on that team receive $0.75 (3 skins) from each of the five losing players.
If the hole is tied or halved, the skins are carried over to the next hole.

Etc. Etc. Etc.

Settle all monies after each hole is played except where there is a tie and skins are carried to the next hole.

At the end of 21 holes, any skins still left hanging are award as a pre-determined CTP. The player that is closest gets the number of skins up for grabs from all 6 of the players he bested in the CTP. For example if 3 skins are carried over after the last hole, the winner of the CTP gets 3 skins ($0.75) from each of the 6 players he just bested in the CTP. The game is over after 21 holes, no sudden death (because it gives an advantage to whoever is teeing first, and not everybody will get the chance to tee off first in a sudden-death situation.)

<u> The Wolf </u>
The game is fun just like that, with playing two against five. But there is a very big rule we have not gone over yet that really brings this game alive. The Wolf. After the first player tees off he has the option of calling "Wolf" instead of "Shopping." This is where it gets really fun for those who have the intestinal fortitude. If a player calls "Wolf" that means that he is using his drive and does not want a partner. He plays the hole as a singles player. That means it is him against the other six players. He is the lone wolf. The other six players are all one team. They get to choose the best drive from all six of their drives and then they all get the chance to putt from the lie they choose. What's the really big catch? SKIN AMOUNTS DOUBLE IN A WOLF SITUATION. So, if a player calls "Wolf" and there are three skins on the line, if he wins the hole he gets six skins ($1.50) from each of the six losing players. If he loses the hole, the other six players get credit for six skins ($1.50) each from the losing player. If the hole ends in a tie, only the original three carry over.

Please confirm if you are still planning on playing. This should be fun! :o

I'd like to play if ther is any room left...
Dr. Safety

I beleive I'll have to opt out on this one. Definitely sounds like fun but I've seen you guys play and I'm outclassed here. I'm sure Fernando wants to play McC and #5 is still off limits for me.

However I am off until the 2nd of Jan. so any other course any other time. Matter of fact I'm still off tomorrow this week if any one wants to chunk midweek.

Count me in....I am off both days!!! :) :cool: We can have more than 7 people play. If your off and want to play WOLF....Come on out on Christmas Eve.

Can't wait! It will be my first time playing WOLF!!!!! :D

I'm in how often do you get a chance to play with a European champ &amp; a bunch of wise arsses? Oh by the way is there a ATM nearby? Love you guys &amp; girl, Jerry :D

Is it possible we can change the entry fee to $10.00 a person (.50 cents a hole) instead of $20.00? The more people that show up the FUNNER (is that a word) it will be. :D:)

I changed it to $0.25 cents per hole. See the rules post above. It could be more or less than ($4.50 (18 x $0.25) depending on how many times wolf is called. I'd suggest bringing a $10 roll of quarters.

Cool :cool: I'm there for sure.

Sounds like a Wolf Pack!!!!! I'm there!!

Sounds like 6 confirmed for 12/24 @ 11:00 AM.

I know earlier I said 2:00 PM. I just found out that I have to be at some dinner at 3:00 PM. Is everyone OK with pushing the start time up to 11:00 AM?

No worries here! McClain at 11:00 is cool. :cool:

Super Dave is in too!

I'm still in but who eats dinner at 3PM? :D

I'm still in but who eats dinner at 3PM? :D



Exactly. I guess I have to be there to "socialize" with the family. We are actually eating at 5:00. Have to get the blue hair special at Denny's and 5:00 is the cut off :p Needless to say I'll be utilizing the "secret weapon" a lot during the wolf game to prepare for the family dinner.

Don't forget about WOLF tomorrow at McClain. We changed the start time to 10:00 am. Sorry Scott, but I couldn't find a $10.00 roll of quarters. :D I'm sure we can figure out the payout somehow. See ya'll tomorrow.

Hole 7 was worth 5 skins, I wolfed it making it worth 10 skins, wolf = double, I won 10 skins from each player = 60 skins on one hole.

I think it was rigged. ;)

Beware of the one who cries "WOLF" to often. :D:D

Just think ... if somehow one of you had aced that hole I'd have owed 10 skins to each person ... OUCH! :cool:

We will play again! Or at least I will, if anybody else is game let's get it going. :D
