Side Bets & Junk
Also called Nasties, Uglies, Ferret, Watson (some groups)
Hole a shot from off the green.
Any time you hole out from off the putting surface (fringe included by most groups) you win a chippie from every opponent. Nasties/Uglies is the same bet but most groups exclude putts holed from off the green. Clarify whether the shot must produce par or better.
1 dot/unit; often 2 dots in Dots menus because it's rare. Can combine with a sandie on the same shot (hole-out from a bunker) and with birdie dots.
The universal celebration shot, now with a payout.
