Split 6's in golf and how it works

[markTHEblake]

Normally one or a sleeve of balls each with winner takes all and last place shouts drinks.

might as well just play normal net scores then.

When i was a junior playing with members, they would often play split sixes because i wasnt able to join in the bet. I remember one bloke got towelled up for an extraordinary amount of money, he had to pay up very close to the maximum, and in those days it cost him something like the equivalent of over 50 beers.

I remember my dad warning me never ever to allow myself to be 'hustled' into playing that game. Because it might seem harmless enough to play for .50c a unit, but you could lose a lot of money even if you dont play poorly.
