Nassau

Also known as 2-2-2

Three bets in one: front nine, back nine and the full 18. Fall two down and the press kicks in.

How it works

Two sides play match play: win a hole by having the lower score on it.
There are three separate bets: the front nine, the back nine and the overall 18.
In a 2v2 game, each side counts its best score on every hole (best ball).
With auto-press on, when a side falls behind by the set number of holes in the newest bet on a nine, a new bet starts on the next hole and runs to the end of that nine. Presses can be pressed again.
With manual presses on, either side can call a press on any hole: tap it on the hole and a new bet starts there, running to the end of the nine.

Each bet, including every press, is worth the stake per player.
A bet is won by whichever side is ahead after its last hole. Level means halved: no money changes hands.
Matches close out early when one side can no longer be caught, shown as "3&2" and so on.

You and Chris play Mike and Alex for $5 a bet, presses off.
Mike and Alex win the front 2 up. You and Chris win the back 1 up. The overall finishes level, so it's halved.
One bet each way: everyone is square. With auto-press on, falling 2 down on the front would have started a press worth another $5.

Sides: 1 vs 1 or 2 vs 2. Sides must be even.
Net or gross: Use handicap strokes or not.
Handicap allowance: Defaults to 100% singles, 85% best ball.
Auto-press: Off, at 2 down, or at 3 down.
Manual presses: Let either side press on any hole, on top of or instead of auto-press.
Stake: Dollar value per bet, or 0 to play for points.
