How to play “The Train” golf game
- Get on the train! Make a net birdie (or better) or two consecutive net pars to get on the train.
- Accumulate points! Once on the train, accumulate as many points as possible. Bogey=1, Par=2, Birdie=3, Eagle=4.
- Stay on the train! Make a net double bogey or two consecutive net bogeys and you fall off the train and lose all of your points.
Track your game with a Bud & Birdies Golf “Train Game Leaderboard” spreadsheet
All players can access live standings from their phones while on the course.

Using the Google Sheets app, a player from each group is responsible for entering group gross scores after each hole. The spreadsheet calculates net scores, points, and money earned. It also highlights when a player is “on the train” and when a player has “fallen off the train” and lost all of their points.

Event setup is incredibly easy! Just enter player names and handicaps, choose a buy-in amount, and adjust hole handicaps and par.

This spreadsheet is set up to handle between 2-20 players, but additional scorecards can be added for a small additional fee.
