Are you planning a charity event golf tournament, men’s league outing or just looking to liven up your weekly play date group? We have found just the thing for you!

A poker golf scorecard from Straightnuts,LLC combines two great sports and puts a new spin on the game of golf we all love so much. A StraitnutsPoker Golf Scorecard is an 18 hole golf scorecard with Poker cards assigned to every hole. The company offers poker score cards in Stud Golf, Black Jack Skins, Scratch Golf Poker, Hacker Poker and Golf Hold Em.

We, here at the 19thHole, being the true Texans that we are we just could not resist the opportunity to try out the Golf Hold Em Scorecards. We rounded up our Research and Review team for a day of golf. (Yes, we know that we have the greatest jobs in the world). On the Straitnuts scorecards you get to choose your target score for each hole. In the case of our outing we designated the target score to be par and made sure that everyone knew that we would be counting the net score. We felt that this was fair considering that our group of players ranged in handicaps. The way it worked is that when a player made a net par, he/she was then allowed to scratch off the poker card for that hole. So basically one had to par to play the game. The ideal situation would be to make net par (or better) on each hole and have each poker card scratched off. At the end of each nine each player was asked to look at their poker cards and create their best 5 card poker hand. This was done on the back nine as well as overall. We were able to play three hands of poker against each other with the Poker golf scorecard. It really helped to have the list of possible poker hands on the back of each card for those of us that get a Strait and a Flush mixed up.

Sample card without scratch-off covering

What we loved best about this game is that as players we didn’t have to push for birdie. A consistent net par after net par was enough to be able to scratch off a poker card. After that, like poker, it just depended on the luck in the hand to determine the winner.

Just as we would shuffle a deck of cards prior to playing, Straightnuts shuffles a single deck of poker cards for every scorecard created, assuring no two players will have the same scorecard.

The poker cards are covered with scratch-off printing insuring no player can pick a more favorable scorecard. We really enjoyed the excitemet after each hole of getting to scratch off a number. By the end of the round, you could hear players rooting for a 10 or a Spade. Though we decided that we wouldn’t want to use a Poker Golf Card for every round, having them really made for a unique and excitig day spent on the golf course with friends.

For a pack of 20 scorecards the price is around $30.00 and for larger outings, you can purchase a pack of 100 for $150.00. We encourage you to keep these in mind for any upcoming events you might be helping with. We also think that the Straitnuts golf scorecards would be a great Holiday gift for the golfer in your life who seems to have everything.
