- Canadian Greensomes – needs to be in 2-balls only.
- Standard Greensomes – needs to be in 2-balls only.
- Three or Four clubs + putter.
- Texas Scramble – either all play from the chosen spot, or all bar the person whose ball position you have chosen play from the spot.
- Better Ball Stableford.
- Choose 10 or 15 scores per nine holes – 10 scores for 2-balls and 15 for 3-balls – divide each score by the number of players in the team if teams of uneven numbers are playing.
- Yellow Ball Multiplier in various formats e.g. double the yellow ball player’s score on each hole and then multiply the best 2 scores (3-ball) or best 3 scores (4-ball) which need not include the yellow ball..
- 1 or 2 scores per first 6 holes, 2 or 3 scores per second 6 holes, 3 or 4 scores per last 6.
- A v B & C first 6, B v A & C second 6, C v A & B last 6 holes.
- Mulligans or Nasty Mulligans (you ask the opponent to take his shot again).
- Foresomes.
- Medal round (on the Wyc Heights Par 3?).
If 5 players turn up to play, I think that the only Novelty format that works is the 10 or 15 scores selection but some research may find others.
