Question about Golf pool game

This isn't the variety of the game where each pocket is numbered.

This game (not sure of the name of this version) is represented by the attached score sheet:


Does this version of the game require playing the balls in rotation, or is it any-ball/any-pocket? I guess you could play it either way, but wondering if one way is more common that another.

Thanks.

Thank you for posting this scoresheet. I have printed a copy to use.

The numbers are not indicated on the diagrams, so it does not appear that rotation is required.

I think it would be competitive enough without rotation, even at the pro level.

I've got the full-size version (8-1/2" by 11") as a .pdf, although I forgot where I downloaded it.

Send me a PM with your email address and I'll shoot you off the pdf.

UPDATE: I found the link to the original pdf...and surprise: it's from SFBilliards (Bob Jewett, etal) www.sfbilliards.com/Misc/golfpool_score.pdf

I think the game is useful because it's relatively quick to play (everyone in the foursome gets time at the table without long delays). It's also easy to handicap...just like regular golf. And easy to keep score.

I did a printscreen and copied to Word, where I cropped the image to only the scoresheet and then enlarged it to fill a landscape layout page.

This will work fine for me.

The attachment is also available on the Main forum page that shows the threads. Look for the paperclip.

It is a fun game. I like it because it gives me a way to track how my game ebbs and flows. It is interesting to look when you have a week where you are shooting high scores versus weeks you are shooting low scores, and then go back and think about what was going on in those weeks. It is amazing how much outside influences can get into your head and how those carry over to the pool table. Both good and bad.
 
There are 19 "holes". Each has a specific arrangement of one to six balls and a par rating.

One ball is used in the front nine and the back nine with a par of 1.

The par for the other holes is one greater than the number of balls.

Take turns shooting each hole until all the balls are made and record your score.

Lowest score wins.

Some of the arrangements include three or four balls in a line on and behind the spot. Three or four balls on the right side of the rack.

Sort of like 3 ball on steroids

so how do you start? see in regular golf (or the one that I know) the six holes on the table is the holes. what do you do with these, is it the 1,2,3,4,5,6 or any six balls, is it racked like that for any number of players
 
I don't believe the pockets are numbered.

The goal is to make the balls in the least amount of shots for each "hole" or rack.

A rack will have between 1 and 6 balls to shoot in. I don't know if the cue ball position has any restrictions on placement for the break.
