NASSAU
There are three separate bets in a Nassau. There is a match
for the front 9, back 9, and overall 18 holes. Most people will
wager the same dollar amount on each leg, or sometimes assign
a larger amount to the 18-hole match. It’s a great game
that keeps both teams interested throughout the whole round.
One variation to play is with “dots”. Each team receives a dot
for a birdie, closest to the pin on a par 3, or a bunker save.
You assign a dollar amount for each dot, and at the end of
the round the team with more dots gets paid out on the difference.
If my team had 17 dots, and the opponent had 9 dots
we would win $8 if we had agreed that they were worth $1/ea.
Some people like to play with presses, which is a double
or nothing bet if you are down by over 2 holes or more.
VEGAS
This is one of the golf gambling games that isn’t for the faint
of heart. In Vegas the scores of each player on a team are
paired, and then matched up against the other team. For example,
if I scored a 4 and my partner scores a 6 we would
have a 46. If the other team had a 5 and a 6, they would score
a 56. Therefore, we would win 10 points on that hole. Some
people will play $1 for each point, so this can end up being
a game for really heavy gamblers. You can assign a nickel,
dime, or quarter for each point to make it more reasonable.
BUCK A YARD
This might be the craziest game that is played. Basically the
players agree to play for $1.00 per yard with no presses. Any
player can leave the match at any time during the round. It’s
usually played with scratch or low handicap players and sometimes
one player will give another player 1 shot a hole etc., with
the exception of Par 3’s. A par 4 at 419 yards is worth $419.00!
WOLF
Before the match starts you establish a playing order. This
will rotate each hole, with the next player in order having
honors. On each hole the player teeing off last is the
“wolf”. The wolves can either choose to go at it themselves,
and take on all 3 golfers, or choose a partner for the hole.
Friday - Saturday - Sunday & Monday
Place Orders 4:30-6:30 Pick Up By 7:00 PM
If you choose a partner is must be immediately after their tee
shot. For example, if the second group member hits a great drive
you have to choose right then, and can’t wait for the 3rd player
to hit their shot. You then play the hole as a best ball format, and
the lowest score from each team determines who wins the hole.
