Nassau is probably the most popular golf bets due to it's pure simplicity. The basic bet is actually three bets: the front 9, the back 9, and the final score.

The players can wager any amount they wish and can score as either match or stroke play. Scramble, alternate shot or best ball...it's up to you.

The essence of the Nassau is the "press". At any time the team or individual losing the current bet can "press" the bet, which just means to double the amount wagered.

This is a fun game that allows 2-4 players to be competitive regardless of the differences in handicaps.

Points are earned as follows:
  * First ball on the green (Bingo): 1 point
  * Closest to the pin once everyone is on the green (Bango): 1 point
  * First ball in the hole (Bongo): 1 point

The player that is the furthest away must play first. First on, closest to the pin, and first in, determines who wins on each hole.

This game features 4 cards with different animals including a Camel, a Frog, a Gorilla, and a Snake. Play is simple. First, you figure out how much each animal is worth (say $1 or $5 each).

The object is to not be the last one holding an animal. If you hold an animal at the end, you owe its value to all other players.

How to play:
  1. No one starts out with any animals.
  2. The first person to land in the sand gets the Camel.
  3. First to land in the water gets the Frog.
  4. First to go out of bounds gets the gorilla.
  5. First to 3 put gets the snake.
  6. The person holds onto the animal until someone else takes it away from them.
  7. The last person holding an animal has to pay everyone else.


For example, if you land in the sand on the first hole then someone lands in the sand on hole 10, they become the Camel. Frog, Gorilla and Snake work similarly.
