Point Games - Vegas

This could be one of the most enjoyable games I have played. It is recommended that only players of 20 handicap or less play this game in order to make it most enjoyable.
At the beginning of the game partners are chosen which remain so for the duration. Players play their own ball for the duration of the game and keep individual totals. After each hole the totals for each team are calculated by taking the lower of the two scores first and placing the higher of the two next. For example; players on team A score a 5 and a 7 respectively. This teams total is then 57 points. Players on team B score a 4 and a 7, their total is 47. This means team B has won the hole as they have the lowest point total.
The best part of the game occurs when any player scores a Birdie or better. Providing the other team does not score a birdie or better, they are forced to place the higher of their two scores as the first digit of their total. Using the example above and assuming team Bs score of a 4 was a birdie then this makes team A total score 75. This can obviously have a huge impact between the point totals of either team, which is calculated at the end of the round.
As with other point games totals are compared and the team with the lower total pay the value of the points multiplied by the difference in team points.
