Par 3 Poker

Play PAR 3 Poker Baby!

Part of your $15 Dirty Valley Buy-In at each tournament goes to PAR 3 Poker. $5 goes to PAR 3 Poker.

You get 1 card before the golf round starts. So even if you don’t hit any Par 3 greens, you still have a card in the Poker game.

For each Par 3 green you hit with your tee shot, you will receive another playing card. Sorry no mulligan’s, stroke and distance or any other second chances on the tee shot.

The maximum number of cards you can get is five (occasionally more depending on the number of Par 3’s at the golf course). Which means you hit the green on all four Par 3’s, plus the card you received at the beginning of the golf round.

Once all the golfers have the cards they earned, we incorporate a four card flop. Best 5 cards wins the money. For example if 20 golfers paid in the tournament and you win, you would win $100 ($5 x 20 players).

How Do I Win?

Show your best poker hand. It is possible (although unlikely) to win with just one card. The best poker hand wins.

If you don’t play poker – see below for winning poker hands.

What if there is a tie? Then your left over cards from hitting PAR 3’s on the course become the tie-breaker cards. For example; Two players each have a King but one player has an extra card, let’s say a 7 of hearts. The flop contains a King too, which now means we have a tie (a pair of Kings each). But because player two has the seven, that he earned by hitting the green, that becomes the tie-breaker for him to win.

In another tie scenario, let’s say player one has a 2 and a 5 to player two’s single 7. In this case player one would win, because he has more cards earned by hitting more greens.

If each player has the same amount of left over cards the highest hand wins.

In the no hand scenario an Ace is considered high.
