Gambling games when playing

scrubber72

So what gambling do you do when playing, is it the usual front nine, back nine, overall for a fiver, birdies, sand saves for €2.
My mates and I play if you scratch a hole you have to pay a euro to your playing partners.
Any other ideas?

All or some of those plus the "snake" at €5 for the owner of the last 3 putt.

10 euro front ,10 back, and 10 overall, and if ya win the 3 of them everyone gives ya an extra 20 euro each, we call this " the sweetner "

Yes to the front, back and overall. A certain no to birdies and sand saves when some of my mates play of +1 and +2!

The sand save is common but it must be for par or better.

Also, The Woody is a euro for anyone getting a par on a hole where they have hit a tree, but it has to be a tree and not a bush and it's fine to clip the tree and stay going.

The Seve is a euro for scrambled par or better where the player was not on the fairway at any stage throughout the hole. If he is on the fairway of another hole then it's not a Seve. He needs to be in the rough or bunkers all the way to the green. If he goes from one side of the rough accross the fairway to the other side still in the rough and still manages a par then it's a 2 euro criss-cross-seve.

fannies - if person doesnt hit it past ladies teebox owes $$
oozlers - nearest on a par 3(must be on green) must 2 putt tho or gives away the $$$...
ferrets - chipping in from off the green with any club bar putter
golden sandy - down in two from a bunker must equal best score of the group tho...
Hilter - leaving it in a bunker


like the one with the hitting a tree and parring the hole...could see that been used deliberately tho lol

Nothing worse than being stuck behind a group of 4 aul lads holing out for an 8 to win some stupid mini-game or side bet in a Stableford competition.

when we play for money the winner gets his next greenfees paid for on away courses (and choice of course)! got ballyconneely, lahinch and ballybunnion paid for last year!! not too bad if there is four of you playing, but lahinch had to come out of one guys pocket as only two of us played the round before!
