Golf Vegas Game Format
Vegas is a two-person team golf game where partners combine their scores into a two-digit number on each hole.
How Vegas Works
In Vegas, each two-person team records both player scores on every hole. The lower score usually becomes the first digit and the higher score becomes the second digit.
For example, if partners score 4 and 5, the team score is 45. If the other team scores 5 and 6, their score is 56. The difference between the two team numbers determines the result for that hole.

What Is A Birdie Flip?
Some Vegas games use a birdie flip rule. If one team makes birdie, the other team’s score may be reversed so the higher number comes first.
For example, a 45 could become 54. This creates bigger swings and more excitement, but groups should agree on the rule before starting.
