Organizer guides
How to run a golf buddies trip —
without doing it all alone.
Practical, evidence-based guides for the person who ends up organizing: harden a flaky roster, split the money fairly, pick a destination the group agrees on, pace the rounds, and run the classic betting games. Every claim traces to a vetted source — no fluff, no fabricated stats.
The organizer’s playbook
How to organize a golf buddies trip

Golf trip betting games explained: Nassau, Skins & Wolf
