Golf prop bets - please list good ones!
I golf with 2+2'ers who are mainly degenerates of varying degrees, and we like to bet on golf. I imagine most of you do as well, this being an Internet gambling board and all. So, please list your favorite prop bets and prop bet stories, since we would like to start using some new ones!

Re: Golf prop bets - please list good ones!
If you're with true degenerates then it's safe to say they'll be riding a cart.
Why not bet on how steep of a hill they can ride sideways without tipping over? This idea came from watching a guy trying to balance a cart with his frikken leg while he drove up along a hill sideways at a massive angle. I'm extremely surprised it did not tip. I don't think his leg was actually helping it stay up. The first thing I thought was "guy, your leg is not going to prevent you from tipping if you cross the tipping-is-guaranteed angle". |

Nah, we walk the course, but that's a funny idea.

Longest putt made, that's a standard one in my group.
Also, if someone makes a 2 on a par three, everyone has to give that person 5 bucks. |

Last night I was coming up the 9th hole and a member gave me 2:1 on my 10 foot birdie putt. I made it! WOW.

I got 3:1 to play the 18th hole blind...and I parred it.
Lots of people find that surprisingly UNremarkable, but I was really shocked. |

We have an upcoming bet where I play the course with my 5 wood only, for all shots (drive, chips, putts, sand, etc).
I ordinarily play this course in the low 90s, and my opponent has set my over/under at 130, which we will bet at $10/shot in either direction. |

I would be surprised if I would be a full stroke worse per hole playing with only a 5 wood. |

Yeah, I think you should be +EV on that bet also, especially if you have time to practice with your 5W in those odd situations.

My group plays royalties, they are as follows. The two other guys get $5000 for birdies and $1500 for par. I get $5000 for eagles and $1500 for birdies. Last night at Red Rock I fired off 5 straight birdies for a nice payday. Arroyo at Red Rock is so short and easy, just a heads up if anyone wants to play you there.
I will play with my drive only the whole course, I need strokes and a tee box and I am willing to play anytime. |
