Bingo, Bango, Bongo: For each threesome or foursome, three points are given on each hole: 1 point for the first ball on the green, one point for the ball landing closest to the cup on the approach, and 1 point for the first ball in the hole. The player with the most points in each flight wins. Ties will be resolved by lowest net score. (Real scores are posted.)

(Real scores are posted).
Proximity Play: Closest to the Pin. The player hitting the ball from off the green closer to the pin than any other player on the designated green. Each player hitting closer or farther than a previous player should move the designation marker and sign the marker card.

Therefore, every shot, except the drive may be hit by three golfers. Begin each hole with everyone driving. Chip-ins can count, but birdies and pars will not count for the boards. You do not need to record putts at the end. The team with the lowest score wins. (No scores are posted.)
