How We Play

Worried you’re not good enough? You’re exactly good enough.

The club is named Double Bogey for a reason. Scratch golfers, weekend hackers, and people who last swung a club at a bachelor party all share the same tee sheet. Here’s exactly what happens when you sign up.

The Formats

Four ways to play the day.

Every round runs one of these. You’ll know which before you tee off, and every one has a casual track if you’d rather just golf. The 2-man scramble is the everyday game; King of the Hill, our all-out grudge match, gets its own showcase below. Scratch players and genuinely bad golfers play the same games on the same sheet. That’s the whole club.

The Main Event

2-Man Scramble.

The club’s bread and butter. You and a partner both tee off, play the best of your two shots, and go again from there. One good swing a hole is all it takes, so nobody carries the team and nobody gets carried, and a first-timer’s lucky putt counts exactly as much as a scratch golfer’s perfect drive. Bring a friend or let us pair you up.

“Both of you hit, play the best ball, write down the same score. Two players, one card, zero excuses.”

  • It's a true scramble: you both tee off, walk to the better ball, and you BOTH play your next shot from there — every shot, tee to pin, including putts.
  • Breakfast ball on the first tee: one free do-over to shake the nerves.
  • If one ball is lost, the other is automatically in play.
  • Both lost? Drop within two club lengths of where it entered trouble, one-stroke penalty.
  • Relief one club length from cart paths, hazards, and rock-hard ground, but not bunkers.
  • Both players write down the same score. No gimmes, every putt counts.

Casual Rounds

  • Max score is double bogey plus one, then pick up and move on.
  • One-minute search for a lost ball. It's gone. Let it go.
  • Ready golf: hit when you're ready, not when it's technically your turn.
  • No unsolicited advice. Nobody asked.

The Double Bogey Handicap

  • Before the round, the system quietly picks six secret holes: two par 3s, two par 4s, two par 5s.
  • After the round, your score on those holes (clamped between par and double bogey) sets your allowance.
  • So sandbagging is impossible, and a first-timer can beat a scratch golfer on net.
  • Champions are revealed after the round. The suspense is the whole point.
  • Prefer to just play? Casual players skip the competition entirely.

A scoring link lands in your text thread the morning of the round. Tap it and you’re in, nothing to download. Every hole shows the satellite map, the par, and the yards. Drop your score and the board moves for the whole field in real time.

The Grudge Match

King of the Hill, hole by hole.

Our loudest format. Every 2-man scramble pair gets drafted onto a side, Red or Blue, and then it’s a turf war. Win a hole, claim its territory for your color. String wins together and your pair becomes the Juggernaut, with a target on your back the rest of the day. All of it tracked live on everyone’s phone.

Holes 5–8 went to Red back-to-back, so that pair is wearing the crown. Break the streak and you’re the Slayer.

Juggernaut

String hole wins together and your pair wears the crown — everyone gains on you until you're knocked off.

Slayer

Break the Juggernaut's streak and the title is yours for the taking. Wear it proudly.

Juggernaut of the Round

Hold the crown longer than any other pair all day, and the belt-night bragging rights are yours.

Two Tracks, One Tee Sheet

Competitive when you want it. Casual when you don’t.

Nobody checks your handicap at the door. Every game has a casual track: chase the belt, or just enjoy a round with people who are glad you came. Your call, every time.
