Customer Reviews

Great for the occasional player with a betting personality.

It had been years since I played for "serious" money, but a few week ago I joined a group who were all about making bets and beer. I told them I didn't drink and only bet on the horses or when I was in Las Vegas. They were okay with that, but I was missing out on their fun and the excitement a $1 or $10 wager could bring. On the sixth hole (par 4) I drove my ball five feet short of the worst player in the group. "Come on Stan, $5 closest to the hole." I caved in and said okay. He hooked well left and I made it to the front of the green. He gave me the $5 right there and I was hooked (but in control). Anyway I won $7 and had a good time. Searched for a book on golf betting and bought this. As for the review - not a lot that I wasn't familiar with, but did remind me of much I'd forgotten. The tips are the best. If your an occasional golfer it's worth the read. Regulars probably know most of this already.

Good Golf Betting resource

This is the second book I've bought on golf games, the first being The Complete Book of Golf Games. I like this book better than the other one because of how it's organized, plus because it covers many more games. It's organized by the number of players, listing possible games that can be played by that number of golfers. When a game is duplicated, they give instruction of where to find the previous write up.
