    Anyone like to wager a little bit for more than just pride? What's your go-to game to pick up (or give away) a little extra scratch?

    I usually just keep it simple and play for $1 a hole, with the winner having to buy the first beer back at the clubhouse. Other times a $5 Nassau is in play, but the same rules apply with the winner buying the first round with the winnings.

  2. nassau and close out are my two favorites....I think the match play format of the close out game is what we played in college to prepare for tournaments very often.

    Cheers!

    Please explain the close out game...I'm always looking for a new game to introduce into the mix.

    Nassau is always the default standard, but I love to thow in Wolf and Banker once in awhile.

    Hate wolf. Play in a senior men's league every M/W/F. We throw in $5. Three goes towards our points game and two towards the four closest to the pins. We have 32 players each day. Top five with the most plus points win and then the four closest to the pins win. Friendly game. No skins, not with these guys.

    Straight Nassau and skins. We don't give/get shots, so it's very easy.

    WE throw in $5. Play skins and greenies. Play off lowest persons handicap.
  9. I’m more of a casual gambler myself, I like stuff that’s quick and doesn’t take too much thought. Poker is fun because you can bluff and read people, but I also enjoy a simple game like blackjack or even roulette if I just want to chill and watch the action. I’ve tried betting small on golf with friends too, like $1 a hole or a tiny Nassau, and it’s surprisingly fun because it adds a little edge without stressing anyone out. It’s all about keeping it social and not going overboard.
