Do you always have a flutter?

[bobmac]

Whether it's a medal, a day out or just a bounce game with your mates, do you always have a bet?
Or do you sometimes just go out for a bit of fun and not bother with the scores?

 

[wull]

when the medals start we don't bother,well they amongst themselves do front nine back 9 and overall but i'm not part of that group yet

when we play bounce games we play for skins and or front 9 back 9 and overall stableford.

 

[HughJars]

Very very rarely. Sometimes play for the pints if we're somewhere where we'll just stay for one drink, someone has to buy, might as well be the loser(s)

 

[joer422]

with my usual playing partner we rarely make bets and if we do just a few quid and normally just play about not thinking about scores if its midweek. when i play with a friend i don't normally play with always interesting to have a bet, makes it more interesting

 

[GB72]

We always have bet, normally a fiver on the match plus bits. If there us a large group of us then there is oftern 2 bets, one on the overall and once on the winner in each 4 ball.

 

[Imurg]

Just a 2's pot for us - did I mention that I won it again on Friday...?

 

[imran_ali]

We started about a year ago and since then if there is no pot then there is no fun lol. front back and overall+ a little flutter in the matchplay.

Yeah All Hail A Great Win.....all £6 of it

Dont forget someone else won it last time for £12

Playing in a society day at Harewood Downs Amersham on friday, the 2's pot has rolled over and will stand at over £80

Thats worth winning

[full_throttle]

play with a mate who plays of the same level £1 each on matchplay/s'ford/medal

also play once a week with a golfer who recieves 7 shots and we play for £1 s'ford

 

[Oddsocks]

We play as an 8 (2x 4 balls) every other week and normally do a whip of £5 each. But we split it diwali so much and juggle it that normally 5/6 people normally get something.

Best front 9
Best back 9
Best overal
Most points on par 3
Most points on par 5
Most points on 1 hole
Nearest the pins
Lottery blind pairs best score - everyone plays, shaffke the cards then blind pick of pairs- best combined score wins

On our Christmas game we doubled up, and from 8 only one person didn't win

 

[fundy]

tends to depend on who i play with, at previous club would always be a decent bet on most games, current club mate I play midweek with loser pays for lunch (but we adjust the hcap difference up/down a shot on who wins), when playing with others I tend to go with the flow with whatever they usually play for

 

[Smiffy]

Normally £2.00 for each of the front 9, back 9 and match. Alll square after 9 carries over.
If playing matchplay, normally play for a fiver a corner.
Usually lob 50p for birdies in there as well somewhere.

 

[Crow]

We usually play in 4 balls so play 4BBB, the losers pay the winners £2 each and we pay 25p bits and ousies, so at the worst you can be about £3.50 down.
It's not the amount of money that's the enjoyment though, it's the taking of it!

I don't usually have a side bet when in a Medal or similar.

 

[chris661]

Normally 1 1 & 1 so from winning two weeks in a row I am up a fiver although winners tend to buy the drinks so you are always down

 

[chrisd]

Friendly 4BBB games are played £1, £1, £1, plus 25p bits

We won today 1 up and collected just 75p - after I bought the first round I was well out of pocket but we did have the bragging rights.

 

[Imurg]

Yeah All Hail A Great Win.....all £6 of it

Dont forget someone else won it last time for £12

Seem to recall I won £27 a while back - or was I dreaming....

 

[Val]

Only in weekend bounce games

 

[Region3]

We never have money on it when playing in a group made up of our regulars. The only times I do is when playing with someone else and they suggest it.

 

[Crawfy]

We play 50p, 50p, 50p for front 9, back 9 and overall win
We also do 10p snakes and camels
Snake (If you are GIR, failure to 2 putt or less = 10p in the pot)
Camel (In a bunker = 10p)

Last person to >2putt or go into a bunker pays out the pot to playing partners.

Not exactly big money but a bit of banter over a pint in the 19th

 

[pendodave]

Play with the same two mates every sunday afternoon. scratch game, strokeplay. NEVER play for money, but the joy of winning/despair of losing is more than sufficient for our middle-aged constitutions.
