A Nassau is one of the most popular golf bet formats. It's essentially three bets in one, front, back and total, which all count as separate bets.
In a $2 Nassau, the player (or team) winning the front nine wins $2, the player (or team) winning the back nine wins $2, and the player (or team) with the low 18-hole total wins $2. So you have the opportunity to win $6 if you sweep front, back and total.
A player or team that is trailing in a Nassau can press the bet by adding the starting amount onto the original bet for that nine. A Nassau that has been pressed and re-pressed and double-pressed and pressed even more can get pretty expensive.

IT'S A THREE PART BET... TWO DOLLARS ON THE FRONT, TWO DOLLARS ON THE BACK, AND TWO DOLLARS FOR TOTAL SCORE...
