Does anyone play for money?  My skill level is good but not amazing. However, I only like to play golf if it's competitive, meaning there is money on the line.  And I don't really want to enter tournaments because only the top 2 or 3 people make money.  I'm more of the hustling type:  Challenging someone to a 1 on 1 game of golf for a few hundred dollars.  Does anyone else do this?  If so, how do you find partners to play with for money?


I have to believe that if you let it be known to the counter people at local muni's that you're looking for action in the "few hundred dollars" range that you'll soon have all you can handle.

Always with my brother-in-law. $10-$20 per stroke. We are pretty even so it's usually a wash unless one of us has a bad day. Then it can get pretty big. With my colleagues, typically $5 Nassau. With strangers - no.

My regular playing partner - my brother-in-law and I always play match play for who's buying dinner (for us two as well as my wife and his two kids and sometimes mother-in-law).  Usually ends up being around $30-50.  I've been eating for free for a couple seasons now.  hehe

Even par through 9 is my best.  I don't even want to think about what was my worst.

Just about every time out. Everybody I play with is willing to put something on the line, varying amounts depending on who I end up with. Usually at least a $10 Nassau. There is a small group of guys I won't play with because they only like big action, although a few of them will step it down in order to get a game on a given day.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
