How it works

  • The first player to three-putt takes the snake.
  • Every new three-putt passes it on and makes it worth one more.
  • Whoever holds it after the last hole loses it: every other player earns 1 point for each three-putt in the round.

Two three-putts on one hole

When two players three-putt on the same hole, the one entered last holds the snake, so enter putts in the order you holed out. Each player enters their own putts.

A worked example

Nine holes. Everyone two-putts except where the list shows a three-putt.
