Typically, a Lincoln is greater than 3 feet and less than 12 feet, although this distance may vary unless a laser range finder is used. Typically, local golf rules allow only one "Lincoln" per round, and it can be declared by any member of a team. Lincolns were recently discovered in eastern North Carolina among practicing professionals, and seem to be more common when a green is tricky and a large wager is at risk.
