Definition: Disaster, a k a Trouble, is a points game in which the winner at the end of the round is the player (or team) that has collected the fewest number of points. That’s because points are “awarded” for bad shots. Hit a ball out of bounds, that’s a point. Points in Disaster can be given any value, and what earns a point can vary from group to group – it’s up to you. But a common point system is as follows:
Water ball – 1 point
Out of bounds – 1 point
In a bunker – 1 point
Failing to get ball out of bunker – 1 point
3-putt – 1 point
4-putt – 3 points
Hitting from one bunker into another – 2 points
Whiff – 4 points
