gambling golden tee 2004

I played Golden Tee 2004 for the first time this weekend over at Opal Divine's. It's very nice. They've done away with the 9-hole courses, which is a good change. The really major gameplay change from 2003 is that putting is much harder. Hitting hard straight shots at the pin is now a recipe for failure (they almost always bounce out of the hole), so precision is much more important. This made for some frustrating holes.

They've also introduced full-blown gambling into the game. The game offers you $0.50 challenges to hit hole-in-ones on certain holes, and pays you odds (I got offered from 50 to 1 ($25) up to 200 to 1 ($100))! I assume they send you a check if you win. I wonder what their expected edge is on that wager.

Why Golden Tee is the best bar gambling game ever

  • In-built gambling (skins, and the new "Hole-n-win")!
  • Learning curve is not very steep
  • Good skill:"luck" ratio means that good players have an edge, but aren't often a lock
  • Plenty of trash talking opportunities
  • Almost every hole offers a risk / reward tradeoff on going for gold versus playing it safe
  • It's in a ton of bars, and is getting more ubiquitous

    It's pretty amazing how popular the game is. ITS has done some really cutting-edge stuff with their tournaments and getting players organized. I haven't played any league or tournament play, but a lot of people get way into it.

    New Golden Tee 2004 machines are going for around $4-5k on eBay. If 5 groups of 2 players play a game each day ($3 per game), the game covers itself in 5 months, leaving 7 months until the next release, where the game can be sold for about 50% its original price. Leaving a profit of around $8k (plus the profit from the additional drinks and food sold to players, of course).
