Left Right Golf Game Rules
Players: 4 players
Left Right is Vegas with fresh teams every hole. Instead of fixed partners for the round, players split into two sides at each tee, so who you are paired with keeps changing. Each side combines its two scores into a Vegas number, low score first, and the lower number wins the hole.

The whole idea of Left Right is that partnerships reset at every tee. One hole you are paired left, the next you might be right, so nobody is stuck with a cold partner for eighteen holes.
Groups set the sides however they like: alternating, by a quick draw, or by a coin or tee flip. If you want the flip built in and scored for you, that is the Quarter Flip game.
Scoring the hole
Each side combines its two scores into a two-digit number, low score first, exactly like Vegas. A 4 and a 6 make 46. The two side numbers are compared and the lower one wins the difference in points.
Birdies flip the losing side's number high-first, the same painful swing that gives Vegas its name. A tied hole is dead and nothing carries.
Common questions
What is Left Right in golf?
Left Right is the Vegas game played with new teams every hole. Players split into two sides at each tee, combine scores into a Vegas number, and the lower number wins the hole.
How is Left Right different from Vegas?
Regular Vegas keeps the same two teams all round. Left Right resets the two sides every hole, so partnerships constantly change.
How do you pick the sides each hole?
Any way the group agrees: alternating, a quick draw, or a coin or tee flip. The flip version, scored automatically, is the Quarter Flip game.
How does Skins Golf handle it?
Skins Golf lets you set the two sides on each hole's score row and keeps the running Vegas totals, hole by hole, so the changing teams never get confusing.
