My golf league is looking for new games to add to our current ones, such as
fewest putts, longest drive, etc.
Ideas for games will be appreciated.
Is there is web site that has a list?

In my league (9-hole evening league), there is a $2 buy-in each week;
half the money goes to net skins, half goes to net best score.
The only time I ever won a skin was when I dunked an approach on a par 4
for an eagle. I didn't get a stroke on that hole, but I didn't need it,
either.
I've won or tied for low net score a few times.
Mike

k, could you decribe the league a bit? eg. is it an after-work 9
hole league, or non-real estate club/association? Prizes... Frequency
of tournaments etc...
In an after work 9 hole league I play in, it's a buck a week and one
par 3 is live (rotated each week) for closest to pin. Winner gets
half the money, and the other half goes to trophies for winning team
at end of year.
For the association, we have tournaments once a month. $5 to get in
for the cash prizes of the day which are 1 long drive, and all par 3s
live. We have 4 flights but pair the adjacent flights for the
prizes. So if Flight one is the lowest hcp flight, and four the
highest hcp:
Flight 1 and 2 play for the same prize $ on the long drive and par 3s
and always from the back tees. Flights 3 and 4 do similar but are
usually on different tees competing for the same prize. (Several
years of doing this shows the ablity:tee assignment work out with
balanced prize distribution between flights).
Of course there are also the cumulative stuff such as points for
stroke play and and match play (match of cards) that go on the whole
season for trophies and plaques. Not sure if your question involves
that stuff.
Other things I've seen is fewest putts on par 3s, accurate drive
(course puts a white line down middle of fairway).
If the league is informal maybe a "pink lady" match. A pink golf ball
is given to each foursome and each player uses the ball on an entire
hole. Ball must be rotated *in sequence* amongst the players, you can
plan ahead having the best player use it on water holes etc. but once
the batting order is decided the group must stick to it. Lowest gross
score on a non-lost ball wins.

Steve,
It is an after work 9 hole league (two man teams) made up of recreational
golfers who are more interested in fun than serious competition.
Currently we have games such as closest to the pin on a par 3, closest to
the pin in two on a par 4, longest drive, longest putt, etc. The winning
team gets a small monetary prize. Prizes are also given half way through
the season and at the end of the season based on handicapped performance.
We have no tournaments. They're looking for new ideas.
