Wedge:
In England your wedge would be an undefined sum of money or bread.
“I got a load of wedge in me pocket!”
It is one of those things you didnt think you needed until you use one all the time. Remember TV’s before remotes? Remember having to unluck your car with a key? Golf before a GPS unit was very fun but now it seems to be a game I can get really good at. It makes me rethink everything about my game and want to practice alot more….I find myself asking questions like “Why can’t I hit my 7 iron 165 yards every time the same distance”? A golf GPS makes me want to hit the driving range alot more so when a big 165 pops up on the GPS unit I know without even thinking about to pull out my 7 iron. I love knowing how far I actually hit my drives. Before golf the GPS came along the longest driver of my foursome would always say he hit it 320. He would subtract the length of the hole from the sprinkler head he hit next too and shout treefity or something stupid and now I can let him know he hit it 283.
Once you pick up one of these babies you can be sure that golf will NEVER be the same. If you want one for cheap go with the IGOLF GPS caddie for around $170 or go with the ferrari of Golf GPS units and get the color Skygolf Skycaddie SG5.
The top 5 most popular golf betting games.
1. “The snowman”
Played with poker chips-Decide the value of each chip, usually $1 or $5 per chip. Each time a golfer hits a shot that corresponds to a chip he/she is awarded the chip. Chip is kept until competitor hits similar shot and takes chip. Players with good chips after 9 holes or 18 are given the value of the chip by each player and the players with the bad chips must pay all players the value of the chip.
2. “Nassau”
The Nassau is three bets in one: low score on the front nine, low score on the back nine and low score over the full 18. Nassau is perhaps the most common betting game with a $5 front a $5 back and a $5 18.
3. “Wolf”
Wolf is one of the classic golf betting games for groups of four. It is a great equalizer for players of differing ability because it is played in teams and the teams change every hole. Players rotate as the “Wolf.” On each hole, the player designated as the Wolf has to choose whether to lone wolf or pick another for 2 vs 2. The wolf picks his/her partner after the drive of another to give the wolf team a small advantage. The team that wins the hole outright gets a point. Lone wolf after the drive is worth 3 points and Lone wolf in the blind is worth 6 points. Teams or the lone wolf must win the hole outright…there are NO carryovers. Give a value to points and pay up after the 18 holes.
4. “Bingo Bango Bongo”
Points game that can be played by any number of players, from two up. In Bingo Bango Bongo, three types of achievements are rewarded with a point. The first player in a group to get his ball on the green gets a point (bingo). The player in the group whose ball is closest to the pin once all balls are on the green gets a point (bango). And the player in the group who is first to hole out gets a point (bongo). Add up the points at the end of the game. Bingo Bango Bongo gives weaker players a chance to earn points because what matters is being first at something. For example, all members of the group tee off on a par-4. The player who hit the worst drive (farthest from the hole) plays first, and so has the first shot at winning the bingo point. Strict etiquette must be enforced. The player who is away always plays first.
5. “Acey Ducey”
Simple scoring game where the low score on a hole wins a predetermined amount from the other 3 players and the high score on the hole has to pay the other 3 players. Very simply the winner is getting paid twice from the highest scorer and the two middle scores pay the winner and get paid from the loser on the hole. This game can get very expensive so be sure you are playing with similar playing levels.
Bonus Game-”Crocadilio”
Game should be played when the same hazard is prominent on the course. For example if there is sand on every hole of the course this is the game to play. Start with a small amount and double it each time the hazard is hit. If a player hits into the sand on the first hole they he owes everyone $.10 if he was the last person to hit the sand for the whole round. The next person to hit the sand owes everyone $.20 and it doubles each time the hazard is hit. The only person that pays up is the last person that hit the hazard of choice. It can get very expensive because the value doubles each time the hazard is hit. It is fun on the last whole when everyone is aiming in the opposite direction of the hazard and would rather do poorly on the hole than get anywhere near the hazard.
