The snake golf game is a great format that puts some serious pressure on your putting abilities. This game can be played with two, three, or four players. Here is how it works.
The snake in the snake golf game is given to whichever golfer three putts first. Once you have possession of the snake you will hold it until another player three putts themselves.
Once another player three putts you pass the snake to them. The goal of this game is to avoid having possession of the snake.
The golfer has the snake when the round ends loses.
Some golfers prefer to use an rubber snake (such as the one seen below) while playing this game to add another element of fun. Making the golfer carry a rubber snake in their bag makes the process of having the snake a lot more fun.
