Side Bets & Junk · Twists & Challenges
Also called Walker, Odd Man Walks, Cart Seat Challenge
Five players, two carts, four seats: the high scorer on each hole walks to the next tee.
Play normal stroke play. After each hole the player with the highest score gives up their seat and walks (carrying or towing their own bag) to the next hole while the other four ride. Ties for high are settled by longest putt or a chip-off, or the current walker keeps walking. Earn your seat back by not being the high score on the next hole.
No points needed; the punishment is the walk. Optional: count total holes walked and the most-walked player buys drinks. Use net scores if handicaps vary.
The threat of the walk of shame focuses everyone.
