Trouble
Also known as "Disaster". Trouble is a point game in which your actual score isn't relevant, at least not directly. The goal is to collect the least number of "trouble points" possible during a round.

Players shoot for a set amount per point, often a dollar. Thus, a player accumulating three trouble points owes each of his opponents three dollars.

Points are assigned as follows:
out of bounds - 1
water hazard - 1
bunker - 1
three-putt - 1
leaving ball in bunker - 2*
hitting from one bunker to another - 2
four-putt - 3
whiffed ball - 4
*Take an additional two points if you leave the ball in again and so on.
A player can erase all the points accumulated on a given hole by making par. At the end of the round, simply net all the points against each other and settle up.

Trouble is an excellent game for the intermediate player. Often, such players are feeling pretty smug as their handicaps drop, and they need to be taken down a notch or two. Trouble encourages smart golf (again, not to be confused with fun golf) and might just produce some surprisingly low round for all those would-be daredevils out there.
