Question 1

What is a Nassau in golf?

Accepted Answer

Nassau is the most popular golf betting game. It consists of three separate bets: front nine, back nine, and overall 18 holes. Each bet is independent, so you can win, lose, or tie each one separately. Players can also initiate 'presses' when they're down by 2 or more holes.

Question 2

How do you play Skins in golf?

Accepted Answer

In Skins, each hole has a set value called a 'skin.' The player with the lowest score on a hole wins the skin. If two or more players tie for the lowest score, the skin carries over to the next hole, creating bigger payouts. This continues until someone wins a hole outright.

Question 3

What is Wolf in golf betting?

Accepted Answer

Wolf is a 4-player golf game where one player becomes the 'wolf' on each hole. The wolf tees off last and can either pick a partner from the other players or go 'lone wolf' against all three. Lone wolf wins or loses at higher stakes (typically 2-3x multiplier).

Question 4

How does Vegas golf scoring work?

Accepted Answer

Vegas is a 4-player team game (2v2) where partners' scores combine to form a two-digit number. The lower score goes first (e.g., 4+5=45). The team with the lower number wins the hole. The key twist: when someone makes a birdie, the opponents' score gets 'flipped' so the higher number goes first.

Question 5

What are Greenies in golf?

Accepted Answer

Greenies is a side bet for par 3 holes. The player whose tee shot lands closest to the pin (and stays on the green) wins the greenie. If no one hits the green or there's a tie, the bet carries over to the next par 3.
