    How to run a casual doubles night that people come back to

    The best club nights are not complicated. They are easy to join, quick to run and fun even for the players who finish last. Here is a format that works.

    Keep the format simple

    Random draw doubles is the classic for a reason. Pair experienced players with newer ones, play best shot, and keep the rules short.

    Nine or eighteen holes is plenty. A short round means more people can stay and hang out afterwards.

    Make the first round welcoming

    Have a five-minute briefing for anyone new: where to stand, how to mark a lie, and what to do if a disc goes out of bounds.

    Pair new players with someone friendly and patient. That single choice decides whether they come back.

    Add a small side game

    Closest to the pin on one hole, a longest-putt challenge, or a silly bonus prize for the best attitude. Low-cost fun keeps the energy up.

    Post the results and a photo the same night. People love seeing their name and it makes the next event easy to promote.
