who gambles while they golf? whats the most you have ever lost or won?

we played the quarter game ( i think it was the 6 point game) once, yeah those quarters turned into $100 holes by the end. it was press press press! we won 1250 quarters in 18 holes of golf!

any stories??

When I was in Japan we used to play a game called Las Vegas. My partner and I won $230 each on one hole. We played for $10 a point. I don't gamble much anymore though. I find that bragging rights are much more pleasurable to win.

all the time usually not for money most of the gambeling is dinners, slave work like car washing and cleaning clubs

I very rarely play golf without gambling at least a few dollars. My group usually plays a $2 nassau with $1 side bets and automatic 2 down presses.

I played 4 ball for $10 bucks a hole once and won $360. My partner and I were up $180 with presses when the other team wanted to go double or nothing on the last hole.

I never gamble on golf....I already lose too many balls, and there is no way I could win a bet.

Only something I know I can win. Usually it's a dollar bet, or food after the round. I'm starting to make money off the "I'll use a 7 iron and a putter, you use whatever you want on this hole, winner gets a dollar" or something like that.

If you didnt acknowledge in your profile that you are a mid handicapper, I would think you were some ex-tour player that just takes peoples money for fun because you left the tour. If anyone wants to know how good you are, they just have to ask.

Oh, the reason why I win at these sort of things is because most of my buddies are total hacks.

My Dad and i, usally the loser pays for the next round

The four I usually play in throws up balls on the first tee to decide teams and then plays a points comp. 1 point for birdies, 1 point for sand saves and 1 point for winning the hole (outright only and no jackpoting). Losing team shouts the beers after the round.

What do you mean by "throws up balls on the first tee"?

Throw up four balls (each one belongs to one of the four players). The two closest to each other are partners that day.

Some people throw a tee to the ground and their partner is the one it points to. Same basic thing.

We usually play a Round Robin match, with skins and greenies. Typically a bad day will cost you $20. On a great day you might win as much as $50... but more often it's around $5-$10. Depends on the stakes that day. The guys I play those games with are all members of the Men's Club, so we apply handicaps to equal things out. The big winner usually buys the first round.

We play a skins game all the time. Back home it's a little more competive where we play vagas, wolf, $2 to $5 a hole and usually have 2 games going. lots of fun.

[Thrdroc]

We usually play skins or team best ball.

I have 2 friends that basically gamble on everything you can. They do a Nassau, FIR, GIR, Closest to the Pin on par 3's and putts. They easily exchange a couple hundred a round.

I would have to say the funnest game i have played has to be 9 hole Hold'em. We usually have 2 games going on in our group and if two groups then we do another game with them usually for dinner/lunch. Now we added the 9 hole hold'em game in we're having a blast.

I love to play for scalps (golf gloves) even if it is a old junk one....
They just must sign and date.

We useally play low ball low total for quarters and individual skins with a 5 dollar anti.
harmless game for fun
