Nicklauses

By Brent Kelley, About.com

Definition: Nicklauses is a side bet among a group of golfers. Nicklauses are automatically won by the long drive on each hole. Decide before the round the amount of the bet. Long drives must be in the fairway to win the bet. If no drives find the fairway, the "Nicklaus" carries over to the next hole.

Golfers younger than 40 might call this bet "Tigers."
