How to Play: Closest to the Pin

How to Play: Closest to the Pin (Gamblin’ Style)

Get close—or get ready to pay up.

Looking to settle scores on par-3s? Want to raise the stakes without slowing down the round? "Closest to the Pin" is your go-to side game—and it hits different with Gamblin’ Golf balls in play.

Step 1: Everyone Hits

It’s a classic par-3 showdown. Each player tees off using their Gamblin’ Golf ball. Aim tight—this one’s about precision, not power.

Step 2: Measure the Damage

Whoever sticks it closest to the pin wins the hole. No ties, no debate (bring a rangefinder if you're feeling picky).

Step 3: Losers Pay Up

Every player who isn’t closest checks the dollar amount showing face-up on their ball. That’s what they owe the winner. Yes, all of them. One shot can make you rich (or broke).

Optional Chaos (Highly Recommended):

• Closest to the pin, but if you miss the green? Double it.

• Add drinks as penalties—closest wins a free round, furthest buys it.

• Rotate who picks the side game each par-3.

Quick. Dirty. High-stakes.
Closest to the Pin with Gamblin’ Golf is the fastest way to turn a casual hole into a wallet-emptying highlight reel.
