Bingo Bango Bongo

Each hole has three points, for first on the green, closest to the pin once everyone's on, and first in the hole.

How it works

  1. Each player on their own, in groups of two to four. Each group plays its own points, and the rows rank inside each group.

  2. Every hole has three points, one each: Bingo for the first ball on the green, Bango for the player closest to the hole once every ball is on the green, and Bongo for the first ball in the hole. Play the ball farthest from the hole first.

  3. Any player in the group enters who won each point, and a point with no entry goes to nobody. Most points wins in each group, and equal totals share the place.

Good to know

  • Two players can be entered for Bango, and then they share it, half a point each. A player who picks up can't win Bongo on that hole but keeps a Bingo or Bango already entered. A player who leaves wins nothing from then on.
  • The host can turn on doubling, and then a player who wins all three points on a hole takes double.

A worked round

Three points a hole in one group of four, doubling off, with no handicap.
