Wagering golf game

Abstract

A wagering game includes a plurality of tokens, each token carrying an indicium representative of a particular score in a predetermined game. The game further includes a plurality of scorecards, one for each participant in the game. At least one scorecard is issued to each participant in the game. Each scorecard includes entered information relating to a feature of the game so that, when a token is presented by a caller of the game, each participant having information on that participant's scorecard corresponding to the indicium can mark an appropriate part of the scorecard. A prize, if any, awarded to the participant is governed by the number of presented tokens carrying indicia which match the entered information on the scorecard of the participant.
