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!

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.

What, you seriously doubt that this happened?

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.

You are a good favorite to win money here. I would be surprised if I would be a full stroke worse per hole playing with only a 5 wood.
