Las Vegas Golf Courses

Golf is one of the games which attract many big time gamblers and poker players. The poker stars normally have lots of free time, and golf with its handicap system, is a game well-suited for different kinds of betting.

When there are no Texas Hold’em rules to stick to, the players can use all their imagination to cheat and deceive their opponents. And the sums wagered during these golf matches are in most cases absolutely insane. Talk about pressure!

In a recent magazine interview Erik “Erik123” Sagstrom, one of the best online poker players of all time, talks about the crazy golf betting that goes on within the poker community.

“There is lots of money to be made on the golf course. Almost all poker players play golf as well. Even though you lose some times to a player that has a good day, the player with the lowest handicap normally wins,” said Sagstrom who currently has a handicap around 2.

Sagstrom also reveals that Phil Ivey is perhaps the most devious of them all when it comes to betting on golf.

“Everything Ivey says about him being cheated and hustled on the golf course is just lies. You hear all the time how good you are at the golf course, but still you lose all the time.”

“Earlier, if you wanted to play against Phil Ivey, you had to play against his two “buddies” as well. Those two buddies were like among the best players in the world. There is no doubting that Erik Sagstrom and many other well-known poker players are very serious about their golf game. So, if you’re visiting Las Vegas golf courses nearby , keep an eye out for the poker players.
