Stu Unger is said to have lost over $100,000 the first time he ever played golf.
Legend has it that Doyle Brunson has won more money playing golf than poker.
I was in a casino poker room one night when 2 players in the pot limit omaha game next to me bet $5,000 who could win a foot race across the casino parking lot. They actually went to the parking lot on a freezing cold night for the race. The loser paid off.
