Hole by hole

Rabbit

Win a hole outright to catch the rabbit, then hang on. Anyone else who wins a hole sets it loose again.

Players
2 or more
Format
Two rabbits, one per nine
Best for
A side bet alongside anything

How it works

  • The rabbit starts loose. Win a hole outright and you catch it.
  • While you hold it, anyone else who wins a hole outright sets it loose. The next outright winner catches it.
  • Whoever holds it after the 9th wins it. It starts loose again on the back nine, and pays again after the 18th.

Scoring and stakes

  • Each rabbit is worth the stake from every other player.

Handicaps

  • Net by default.
  • Strokes can be given off the low player.

Example

  • Chris catches the rabbit on 3. Mike wins 6 and sets it loose. Dave wins 8 and holds it through 9: $5 from each player.
