Do you guys have fun bets with your regular partner's?
We usually do a skins game with everyone chipping in $5-10 and then each hole is worth whatever it rounds down to, extra is played off on last hole.
We also do a gatorade bet on the 2nd to last hole, loser buys gaterade for everyone for next round. Ties are played off on last hole, ties are pushes, and the option to go double or nothing for the winner's.

I've heard of golfer's playing for HUGE sum's! What games do they play? Nassau's? stroke? Side bets of greenie's, sandie's, up and down's, fairway's, birdie's, etc? That's crazy to think that they play for thousands. Guess you gotta have nerve's of steel and balls to match.

When my friend has a long putt or if I have a long putt usually we just call out "$10 putt here" if he drains it, he gets 10 bucks. Simple.

It really only happened once where I called out a $10 50 foot double breaker and my friend drained it.

I usually bet when playing - something like 5-5-5, skins, stroke differences, side games like sandies, birdies and all that stuff - but always for reasonable amounts

I've done it a few times for very small sums. I have never lost a bet/money on the golf course. The first time was for $1 a hole with a 20 year old coworker at the golf course I worked summers at. He bugged me for days to play him for money until I finally relented. He was probably a little bit better than I but he played dreadfully that day and was trying to get out after nine holes...

Another time I won $5 off a stranger on an 18 hole putting contest at a practice green.

The last time I did it the three guys I was playing with got me in on a $1 bet on each par 3 on the front nine. Each of us put in a dollar and the closest to the hole won the pool. I won both times. One guy didn't have any ones to give me so later that day on the back nine after a player had left at the turn and we picked up another he bilked that new guy out of a dollar and gave it to me. His victim said he was going to hit a 180 yard par three green with his 8-iron. My debtor didn't even hesitate he just right out bet the guy a dollar he couldn't hit the green with his eight iron, won the bet when the guy came up woefully short and right away gave the dollar to me.

The other day I ended up in a 4 that played 5-5-5 and dollar units (side games). The week before with guys that played 1-1-3 and .50c units. Both times I just went along with what the guys played. Funnily enough shooting a low score is more important to me then the money.

The standard bet I have with the one guy I play with most regularly is a 5-5-5 Nassau. We then add that you get a dollar for every birdie, two for an eagle, and you have to pay the other guy .50 for every double bogey or worse.

Within the foresome there are many games to be played. Skins, greenies, wolf, Captain's Choice, and a few others that we will sometimes play.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

The usual...
Dollar Dots - Gross only (all for par or better)
Skins
Sandy
Barky
Froggy (water hazard)
Dirty Par (desert, waste area, scrub, etc)
Lizard (chip in)
Sticky (putt longer than flag stick)
Polesky (approach for birdie less than length of flagstick)
Progressive Greenies (closest to the pin - par or better. 1st par3=1 dot, 2nd=2 dots, etc)
Reverse Greenies (Greenie opportunity but 3 putt...other players get a dot)
Piggy's...calling your up and down from off the green...if you miss other players get a dot)
Front 9 low gross
Back 9 low gross
Overall low gross
Front 9 low net
Back 9 low net
Overall low net
Front 9 fewest putts
Back 9 fewest putts
Overall fewest putts
Progressive Birdies (1st birdie made in group=1 dot, 2nd=2 dots, etc. capped at 5 dots. $5 birdies on the back nine makes for some excitement.

We've even done Long Drive Dots (must hit stay in fairway) on predetermined holes (basically anywhere a driver can be used). You must 'qualify' by making par or better.

We'll sometimes play 'rotating partners' as well.

I didn't realize we had so many dots in play until I wrote this.

      Second Cortisone Injection Today

      By flopster ·

      Just want to share a quick update with everyone. I went to the range the week before last, even though I took it easy no significant pain occurred just a slight twinge when I swung my #4 hybrid. The most encouraging news was no soreness the next morning. However I think switching back to graphite shafts is definitely gonna happen, my mp15's were fitted with X shafts and having something lighter will help.

      LIV Golf (Saudi PIF), "Mergers," and More

      Here's something to chew on. Not much to it, but apparently the ideas being tossed around.  Greg Norman - LIV open-minded about moving to 72-hole format - ESPN LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman said he is open-minded about the idea of moving to a traditional 72-hole format, though he explained that the Saudi-backed circuit would need to evaluate the impact of adding an extra round to its...
