How to Play Gridiron Golf

Football + Golf:

Four Downs, Four Quarters

Easy As 1-2-3-4

Starting in the Gridiron Golf endzone, each player gets 4* successive putts (downs) per possession (quarter). There are four quarters in each game. Whoever has the highest score at the end of the fourth quarter wins.

*Just like in football, if you putt a touchdown, your extra point or two-point conversion attempt does not count against your downs.

Unlike football, if you score a touchdown on your first or any putt, you DO NOT change possession. You will complete your four putts (downs), and will not change possession, regardless of how you score, until you’ve completed your four putts (downs).

simple enough, i get it - but what is the -6?

The -6 represents an interception. If your opponent is ahead of you, scoring a -6 will reduce their score by 6 points. If you putt an interception, you may go for an extra point; the extra point putt will not count against your 4 downs.

what if there is a tie?

In the event of a tie, each player will get to hit 4 balls and highest total would determine the winner.   

How Do I Keep Score?

Similar to other outdoor games like cornhole or canjam, you and your opponent will be in charge of keeping track of your scores.

have an idea for your own rules?
