Every hole hands out a fixed pot of points, split by where you finish. Post the low net and you grab the most; everyone else takes a share on down the line. Nobody is ever out of a hole, and one good swing on 18 can still flip the day.
A set pile of points on every hole, divided by finish. Simple to play, satisfying to track.
Each hole puts a fixed pot of points up for grabs, scaled to how many are playing: 9 for a threesome, 16 for a foursome, 25 for a fivesome, 36 for a sixsome. The bigger the group, the more points on the line.
Lowest net score on the hole takes the biggest slice, the next lowest takes fewer, on down to the highest. It's played net, so handicap strokes are baked in and everyone competes on level terms.
When players tie for a position, they split the points for the spots they cover. No coin flips, no arguments, the math just divides it evenly.
Add up everyone's points over 18 holes. Set a dollar value per point and FLOG settles each player against every other on the difference. The steady earner usually wins; the blow-up holes just cost a few points, not the round.
The base game is dead simple. These are the wrinkles groups add.
The points pot scales automatically with the field, so a threesome and a foursome both feel right. More players, more points per hole.
Pick a value per point. With more players the effective stake per hole climbs, since the pot is bigger. FLOG shows the live per-point math as you set it.
Beat the whole group by two or more net strokes on a hole and you sweep every point on it, not just first place. A reward for truly running away with a hole.
Let whoever's trailing raise the stakes to claw back, the classic comeback wrinkle. Turn it on for a livelier back nine.
In a fivesome where a guy doesn't want in, leave him out and the pot resizes to the players actually competing. The rest play on cleanly.
Allocate strokes relative to the lowest handicap in the group, or give every player their full handicap off the scorecard. Set it once at setup.
FLOG splits the pot on every hole, tracks the running points, and settles the per-point money so nobody is doing arithmetic on the cart.
Foursome, 16 points a hole, 288 dealt across the round. Teddy's steady scoring stacked up; the gaps in point totals drive the settle.
Unlike a Nassau or skins, the points game pays something on every hole. Even a middling score banks a slice of the pot, so there's no such thing as a dead hole. Grind out your share and let the gaps build over 18.
FLOG deals the points on every hole, handles sweepers and ties, and settles the per-point money to the dollar, for your foursome and across every group at the course.
