Best ball, then best 2, then all 3 — rotating every 3 holes.

How to play
- •Holes 1–3 (Cha): only the best score from the group counts each hole.
- •Holes 4–6 (Cha): the best two scores from the group are added together each hole.
- •Holes 7–9 (Cha): all three scores are added together each hole.
- •The pattern repeats for holes 10–18.
- •Add up the combined scores across all 18 holes. Lowest total wins — this is a stroke play format, not match play.
Example — holes 4–6 (best 2 count)
Hole 5 scores: Tom 4, Ali 5, Dana 6. Best two = 4 + 5 = 9. Dana's score doesn't count this hole, but she'll contribute on holes 7–9 when all three scores count.

Pro tip
Cha Cha Cha is one of the best formats for threesomes — most side games are designed for four players, but this one was built for three.
