Big Caddy Rules
The rules of the game are simple. It’s a 2 vs 2 Ambrose format. The lowest score at the end of the round wins. All the regular rules of golf still apply unless a card played states otherwise.
To play Big Caddy, simply select a card from the deck and follow its instructions, whether it's escaping a tough lie or challenging your mates to a longest drive showdown. Keep playing cards until you reach the final hole, and may the best golfer — or card player — win!
