Blind Bogey

What is blind bogey and how do you play it? - Ethan in Somerset, KY
The most common game of blind bogey requires a golfer to play 18 holes of stroke play. Following completion of blind bogey golf, the one overseeing the tournament selects a score at random and the player that has the closest score to the randomly selected score is the winner.
There is also another variation to the blind bogey format. This is where the players tee off and complete their rounds. After the tournament, the director randomly select six holes and each of the players scores of those 6 randomly chosen holes are tossed out. Now the 12 holes that remain on their scorecard are added up and that is the score. The lowest score wins.
Basically you give control on how well you are evaluated per each stroke up to sheer chance. Make sure you focus on each hole and hey you never know, you might beat out your buddies and come in with the best score when their holes get tossed. Doesn’t that add mystery and excitement to the game Ethan?? Doesn’t it?
