The Nassau is a type of wager in golf that is essentially three separate bets. Money is wagered on the best score on each of the front nine (holes 1–9), back nine (holes 10–18), and total 18 holes. The Nassau is one of golf's most classic and best known wagers. It is also known by the size of the bets, e.g. "2-2-2" or "5-5-5", etc. Enhancements to the rules include a Nassau Press (bet) and the Hog Press, Renaming for convenience is common at various clubs when rules are adjusted to suit club demographics. The Usual (bet) is one example. The purpose is to avoid explaining the basic rules including applicable Junk (bets) over and over to the same damn clowns who just can’t remember (or pretend not to remember) the rules of the game.
