If played, each group of players is to decide on side bets.  If Bits are played, the following rules are recommended:-

  1. You do not have to putt out if you can no longer score, but if you continue and three putt, it counts.
  2. However, if two putts have been taken and the second putt was for a point, the player is deemed to have three putted.
