How it works
- Bingo: the first ball on the green.
- Bango: the ball closest to the hole once every ball is on the green.
- Bongo: the first ball in the hole.
- Each award earns 1 point; most points wins.
Playing order matters
The player farthest from the hole plays first, so a long hitter doesn’t get every bingo. It suits mixed groups: scores and Strokes don’t decide the awards.

Recording the awards
Someone in the group records the three awards on each hole. If two players claim the same award, Baroo flags it until the group settles it.
