What you Need

You will need six standard dice and a score sheet.

Playing Straight Golf

A player will roll all six dice. Next, he will pull out all dice that help make up a straight. A straight is the numbers 1 to 6 in order. Now, he will re-roll any dice that are not in the straight. On this roll, he will pull out any dice that fill in a hole in his straight. He has one more turn to try to get the full straight.

Scoring Straight Golf

When a straight is rolled on the first roll the player will score -3 points.
Similarly, when a player has used two rolls to make the straight he will score -1 point.

And if he has completed the straight in three rolls, he will score 0.

On the other hand, if a player has used his three rolls and hasn’t completed a straight, he will score points. For every dice that is not in the straight, he will score one point.

For example if a player has rolled: 2, 3, 4, 6, 6, 6, then she will score 2 points for the two sixes that are not in the roll. Another example would be 1, 3, 4, 5 ,6, 3 the score would be 1 for the one three that wasn’t in the straight.

Winning Straight Golf

There are nine holes in Straight Golf. The player with the lowest score after the nine holes is the winner.

Straight Golf Dice Game Variation: The Pro Tour

In this variation, players need to roll the straight in order. Therefore, you must roll a one before you can set aside a two and you must roll a one and a two to set aside a three. This is why it call the Pro Tour, It’s a lot harder but just as fun for those pro golfers.
