The classic Nassau is a three-part bet: one wager on the front nine, one on the back nine, and one on the overall 18-hole match. It's a cornerstone of golf gambling, beloved for its simplicity and the constant action it provides.

Strategic pressing (doubling the bet) can add layers of excitement and complexity. Understanding when and how to press is key to mastering the Nassau.

A Skins game is a high-stakes, hole-by-hole battle. Each hole is worth a certain "skin" (value). To win a skin, a player must win the hole outright. If two or more players tie for the low score, the skin carries over to the next hole, increasing the pot and the pressure.

This format can lead to dramatic swings and exciting finishes, especially when multiple skins carry over.

Wolf is a dynamic team game where the "Wolf" (a role that rotates among players) chooses a partner for each hole, or bravely decides to go "Lone Wolf" against the other three players for higher stakes.

Strategic partner selection and knowing when to take on the pack alone are crucial. It's a game of shifting alliances and constant calculation.

Peel and Eat details Wolf variations, point systems, and how to track this exciting game.

Vegas (also known as "Las Vegas") is a team game typically played with foursomes, where partners' scores are combined to form a two-digit number (e.g., a 4 and a 5 become 45). The lower combined score wins the points for that hole.

Birdies and eagles can flip scores or multiply points, leading to big swings and high drama. It's a favorite for its potential for large payouts (or losses!).

A points-based game that rewards three achievements on each hole: Bingo: First player onto the green. Bango: Player whose ball is closest to the pin once all balls are on the green. Bongo: First player to hole out.

It's great for groups of varying skill levels as it provides multiple chances to win points on every hole, regardless of overall score.

Peel and Eat explains the nuances and how to keep score effectively.

A devious and strategic alternate shot format. After both players on a team hit their tee shots, their opponents choose which ball the team must play for their second shot (usually the worse of the two).

This game tests partnerships and shot-making under pressure, as you're often recovering from a less-than-ideal position chosen by your adversaries.

The Stableford system awards points based on your score relative to par on each hole (e.g., 1 point for bogey, 2 for par, 3 for birdie). The goal is to accumulate the highest point total.

It's popular because one or two bad holes won't ruin your entire round, as you can't score less than zero points on a hole. This encourages aggressive play.

Peel and Eat covers different Stableford scoring variations and strategies.

In Quota (often called Banker or Points), each player has a point target (quota) to reach, usually based on their handicap (e.g., 36 minus handicap). Players earn points similar to Stableford (1 for bogey, 2 for par, etc.).

The player who exceeds their quota by the most points wins. It's an excellent game for players of different abilities, as everyone is competing against their own target.
