Wolf - My friends and I love to play this game and I would love to see it as a game option on the Garmin R50. A quick google search provides the basic setup with some of my edits to make it simulator friendly;
- The Wolf golf game is designed for four players, Wolf is scored similarly to a fourball match, but since partners change on every hole, there are individual winners and losers at the end of the round.
- Settle on a permanent hitting rotation for teeing off (this can be in the settings prior to playing). The hitting order will rotate each hole, so if the order is A-B-C-D on the first hole, it’ll be B-C-D-A on the second, C-D-A-B on the third, D-A-B-C on the fourth, and finally back to A-B-C-D on the fifth hole....and so on.
The Wolf is the first player to tee off on every hole, regardless of the traditional honors system.
After hitting their tee shot, the Wolf watches the second player tee off then must decide before the third player tees off whether or not to select the second player as their partner for the hole. (This can be a simple screen on the Garmin R50 for the wolf to decide to use them as a partner or not prior to letting the next player hit) This process continues until the Wolf has selected a partner.
If the Wolf has not selected a partner by the time the fourth player tees off, after watching that tee shot they can choose to select the fourth player or play the hole as a Lone Wolf, taking on all three players. When there’s a Lone Wolf, points are doubled for that hole.
After all four players have teed off and the teams are set for that hole, each player plays their own ball until it is holed.
Each hole is worth one point per player and best-ball (four ball) scoring is used to determine the winning team on each hole. The team’s score for a hole is the lowest net score of either team member on the hole. Each team member on the winning side gets one point.
In the event of a tie, no points are awarded for the hole, and there are no carryovers.
Once you get to the 17th hole, each person will have been the Wolf four times so the person with the lowest point total be the Wolf on the 17th and the lowest point total is the wolf on hole 18 - Lone Wolves
Just like in the wild, there are lone wolves in golf. After watching the group tee off, the Wolf can simply choose to take on all three players alone, with points doubling in this situation. - To make things even more interesting, the Wolf can declare his or her intention to play as a Lone Wolf prior to anybody teeing off, in which case points are tripled.
- Scoring Wolf:
The point-allocation in Wolf is as follows: - 2-vs-2: 1 point per player for the winning team
1-vs-3 (points doubled): Six points if the solo (wolf) player wins, or two each if the threesome wins
1-vs-3 Lone Wolf (points tripled): Nine points if the Lone Wolf wins or three points per player if the threesome wins
