What is golf betting game honours?

Question

In golf betting games, I just came across "honours" which is a side bet. I would like you to explain, golf betting game "honours" in an elaborate way.

Answer 1

Honors is the name of a golf side bet, a betting game, in which a side earns a point every time it earns the honors on the tee. In that meaning of "honors," the word refers to the team that tees off first on a hole. The order of play off the tee is determined by which golfer or side in a match won the previous hole. If Side A wins the first hole with a par to Side B's bogey, then Side A tees off first on the second hole.

And in Honors, the betting game, Side A also earns a point in that scenario for having won the right to tee off first on the next hole. What if neither side wins? A side keeps teeing off first until the other side manages to win a hole. As long as your side tees off first, then your side keeps earning a point per hole.

On the 18th green, award one more point to the team that would have teed off first on an imaginary 19th hole.

At the end of the round, tally up the points won and pay off the difference, according to the value of each point (which you determined before starting, of course). This game is sometimes called "Appearances."
