Also called Three Blind Mice, Throw-Out, Lemon Drop, Strike Three
Drop your three worst holes and compare 15-hole totals.
Play a normal 18. At the end each player throws out their three highest scores and adds up the remaining 15 holes; low total wins. Three Blind Mice makes it random: three holes are drawn (ask the bartender) and everyone discards those. Lemon Drop drops your worst par 3, par 4 and par 5. Perfect for the first round of a trip when everyone is rusty.
Shoot 90 with a 9, an 8 and a 7 and your Three Little Pigs score is 66. Play gross or net. Solo, it is a forgiving benchmark to beat.
Everyone's card suddenly looks like a good player's.
