A fun golf side bet is called "Arnies" in honor of the King, Arnold Palmer. Arnold could somehow save par or make birdie, despite driving the ball all over the place.
At the beginning of the round a bet amount, say $1.00 per Arnie, is determined. Should a player manage to make par or better on a hole without finding the fairway, he/she wins an Arnie. At the end of the round, Arnies are counted up and bets settled.
This game can be fun because it helps players concentrate a bit more when they miss a fairway. A good way of taking a negative and turning it positive.
