There’s no better way to earn a renewed appreciation for the sport of golf than attending a tournament in person. Sure, your ego might take a massive hit when you see the best players in the world conquer a course that would bring the average hack to their knees, but it’s something every fan should check off their bucket list at some point.

There is typically no shortage of ways you can entertain yourself while watching a round in person, and there are a number of approaches you can take when it comes to how you spend your day at the links. Some people prefer to follow one player around, while others are content to post up near the same tee box or green while watching things unfold.

You also have some options when it comes to keeping yourself entertained. Even if you’re not particularly emotionally invested in the outcome, you can always get financially invested with the help of some friendly wagers with the friend (or friends) who will presumably be joining you in the gallery.

That’s the route a couple of spectators opted to take when they headed to Kapalua Plantation Course to watch the first round of the Sentry Tournament of Champions on Thursday. The two men decided to make things interesting while betting on whether or not Jordan Spieth would sink a short putt for par on the 12th hole, but they apparently failed to keep their voices down while gambling on the shot he’d go on to sink.

Spieth lightly admonished the fans when he approached them, saying, “I appreciate the exchange of money. I’d be doing the same thing, but I can hear you gambling right off the back of the green.” However, he made it clear there were no hard feelings when he exchanged fist bumps with the duo when they apologized.

Guys being dudes. What’s better than that?
