What does press a bet in golf mean?

Question

Press a bet in golf, is a commonly found term in golf betting. I would like to know the exact meaning of "press a bet in golf"

Answer 1

The press, at its most basic, is a second bet that begins during the course of a round, joining and running concurrently with the original bet. When one player presses, he is starting the second bet, or "pressing the bet." The second bet is usually for the same amount as the original bet.
