Travis Kelce and brother Jason decided to shotgun a beer every time one of them three-putted during the opening round of the American Century Championship in Lake Tahoe.
The famed celebrity golf tournament got underway on Friday with the Kelce brothers playing alongside fellow NFL legend Andrew Whitworth.
Neither Kelce brother played particularly well on day one and were sat 62nd and 83rd on the leaderboard of 90 players after their opening round.
But perhaps their erratic play could be explained by the fact that the brothers cooked up a wild bet with each other the night before - and their encounter with a terrifying killer.
Jason revealed to Access Hollywood before their first round that they would be downing beers if they struggled on the greens.
He said: 'Travis and I always have the side bets going for sure.

'I think right now, the bet today we talked about last night is every three putt, you got a shotgun a beer.
'So once you miss that first one, if you're left with a four or five footer, it's gonna be a little nerve wracking standing over that thing.'
Despite being a fierce competitor during his NFL career, Jason also explained that he was just there 'for the vibes'.
'That's what it's all about,' he continued.
'That's why everybody is here. Everybody's here to just have a good time. All these people are here mostly to have a good time. There's a handful of guys that actually expect to win this thing, but we all know who they are, and that's great.
'We're all here for the vibes. A lot of people come out here and lend their time to interact. So it'll be a good day. I love it.'
It was certainly an eventful day for the brothers after they also came in close contact with a black bear.
The scary incident, caught in photos taken by DailyMail.com, occurred as the high-profile NFL pair prepared to tee off on the 16th hole, when fans spotted the bear just behind the tee box.

Play was temporarily halted as fans took videos and photos of the animal, which was behind a fence but came close to spectators who were out in their thousands watching the golf tournament at Edgewood.
In a scary twist, the bear scare comes just days after one was euthanized just a few miles away after attacking a camper at a site in South Lake Tahoe.
The Kelce brothers were followed around by hundreds of fans all day with some of Taylor Swift's most loyal fans there with hopes of seeing the popstar.
Rumors circulated around Lake Tahoe that she would be turning up at some point but there was no sign of her during Friday's first round.
At the other end of the scoring charts, the tournament leaders are ice hockey legend Joe Pavelski, former NBA star Vinny del Negro, while Steph Curry is tied for third with ex-USMNT player Taylor Twellman.
