Side Bets & Junk
Also called Sandy, Sand Save, Super Sandie, Exotic Sandie, Garys (Legends)
Make par or better on a hole where you were in a bunker.
Announce a sandie when you are in a bunker and then make par (some groups: par or better, others: up-and-down in two from a greenside bunker regardless of score). Decide beforehand whether any bunker counts or only greenside bunkers.
1 dot or unit from each opponent. Common variants: Super Sandie (par from a fairway bunker) 2 points; Exotic Sandie (fairway and greenside bunker) 4 points; double/triple sandies for two or three bunkers on one hole. A 'progressive sandie' grows by 1 each time the group misses a sand-save chance.
Turns a bad break into a chance for a cheer and a dollar.
