Nassau is most often a type of Match Play golf game where three separate bets and a number of pressing opportunities ensure plenty of action!
Nassau
(Also known as [alternateNames])
HOW TO PLAY
Nassau is generally scored as three separate bets: the front nine, the back nine and the entire eighteen. For example, a $2 Nassau would pay $2 to the team with the most points for each of the three bets. Like any typical Match Play, the winner of each hole earns a point with no points carried or awarded in the case of a tie.
VARIATIONS & PRESSES
A $2 Nassau sounds pretty harmless, but presses can increase the stakes in a hurry! Each press creates a new bet from that point forward, and in large groups with multiple tee times, auto presses increase the action automatically. For example, in 2 Down, anytime a player or team is down two points, a new bet is created automatically.
