There are several popular golf betting games that add excitement and competitiveness to a round of golf. Here are some good options:
- Nassau: Nassau is a classic golf betting game that consists of three separate bets: front nine, back nine, and overall 18 holes. Players compete against each other for the lowest score on each portion of the course, with bets typically placed on each of the three parts.
- Skins: In Skins, each hole is worth a certain amount of money or points. The player with the lowest score on a hole wins the “skin” for that hole. If multiple players tie for the lowest score, the skin carries over to the next hole, increasing the potential payout. The player with the most skins at the end of the round wins.
- Wolf: Wolf is a game that involves rotating partners on each hole. At the beginning of each hole, one player is designated as the “Wolf” and tees off first. After each subsequent player tees off, the Wolf can choose to partner with them for that hole or go it alone. Points are awarded based on the outcome of the hole, with the Wolf’s potential winnings increasing if they choose to go it alone.
- Best Ball: In a Best Ball game, players compete in teams of two or more. Each player plays their own ball throughout the round, and the team’s score for each hole is determined by the lowest score among its members. Best Ball is a fun and low-pressure betting game suitable for golfers of all skill levels.
- Round Robin: Round Robin is a team-based betting game that involves rotating partners on each hole. Players compete in pairs, with each pair playing against every other pair in the group over the course of the round. Points are awarded based on the outcome of each hole, with the team accumulating the most points declared the winner.
These are just a few examples of the many golf betting games that can add excitement and friendly competition to your round. Be sure to establish clear rules and betting parameters before you begin, and always play within your means.
