golf nassau
The Nassau bet is a type of bet in golf that is essentially three separate bets. Money is wagered on the best score in the front 9, back 9, and total 18 holes. The Nassau is one of golf's most classic and most popular wagers.
The amount of the bet is established -- often $2 or $5 -- for each nine with a third bet for the overall 18-hole match. Points are calculated by scoring each hole as a separate match. The player with the lowest score on a hole wins a point. If the scores tie for a hole, this results in a "push," or no points won or lost.
This is a side bet offered during a Nassau match by the side that is losing in an effort to even their money for either the front or back nine. If the player who presses then beats his opponent over the remaining holes on that nine, he wins the press bet. In effect it is a double or nothing proposition. When a side is two or more points down in the match, they may request a press. The opposition has the option to accept or reject the press, although it is usually accepted.
The press bet runs for the remaining holes to be played on either the front or back nine holes only. Press bets can be re-pressed if the player falls two more points behind. The amount of the press bet is the same as the original match bet. For example, in a $2 Nassau, presses are for $2. This is basically a double or nothing proposition for the player in the lead. A "flipperooski" occurs if the player who falls behind wins the press bet on the 9th or 18th hole.
As with any golf game, players of greatly different abilities can compete. Handicaps are used to determine how many strokes one player must give another.
Retrieved from Eisenhower Park is centrally located in East Meadow, New York bordered by Hempstead Turnpike on the south and Old County Road on the north. At 930 acres (3.8 km²), it is larger than Central Park, with much of the area devoted to three 18-hole golf courses, including the Red Course, host to the annual Commerce Bank Championship (Champions Tour).The park is home to the September 11th Memorial for residents of Nassau County.
Part of the county park system since 1944, Eisenhower offers a full range of athletic and family activities, including some of the finest facilities in Nassau County, NY and an exciting schedule of summertime events.
The Eisenhower Park property was in the early part of the 20th century part of the private Salisbury Country Club and included five 18-hole golf courses. During the Depression, the owners were unable to pay taxes and the property was taken over by the county. Subsequently, the county acquired additional land in the area. In 1944, Nassau County Park at Salisbury was established as part of County Executive J. Russell Sprague's vision to create a park that "one day will be to Nassau County what Central Park is today to New York City." The park was officially dedicated in October of 1949.
On October 13, 1969, the park was rededicated as the Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial Park at a ceremony attended by the 34th President's grandson, Dwight D. Eisenhower II, and his wife, Julie Nixon Eisenhower.
On March 11, 2004, President George W. Bush made a visit to Eisenhower Park for the groundbreaking of a new memorial for the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks.
