Drive, Chip, Putt - Everything About Golf

Round Robin is a golf variation that can only be played with a group of four golfers. Some people also refer to this game as Hollywood or Sixes.

In Round Robin, every group member will end up playing against each other player in 2 on 2 team match ups. Here’s the interesting twist - players rotate partners after every six holes so that each member of the foursome partners with every other member throughout the round.

Any scoring format for the 6-hole matches can be used, and each 6-hole segment is a separate round. If at the end of the 18 holes you’ve been on two winning sides and one losing side, you end up the winner. You can turn this format into a betting game or simply play for bragging rights. If you choose to place a wager on this game, you should bet on each of the 3 6-hole matches.

Round Robin only really works well when all of the players are of similar skill levels, or by golfers using full handicaps.
