How it works

  1. Turn on closest to the pin. Every par 3 is picked for you.

  2. Pick a par 4 or 5 for long drive.

  3. Claim it on the hole with a tap, or by voice.

  4. The group confirms the hole and the badge is yours.

Scoring

  • Closest to the pin: nearest ball to the hole off the tee on the par 3s.
  • Long drive: the longest drive on the hole you picked.
  • One winner per hole. Tap someone else to change it until the hole is confirmed.
  • Pins and long drive are badges, not points. They don't move the standings.
  • Junk: sandy (par after a bunker), barkie (par after hitting a tree), greenie (on in one on a par 3 and make par), Arnie (par without hitting the fairway).
  • Junk is a tally, not points. Settle it in the group.

Pins land on the par 3s, long drive on the holes you pick, and junk wherever it happens. Everything shows as a badge on the board and a line in the group chat.

Questions

Do pins and long drive change the standings?

No. They're badges on the board and a line in the chat. Settle them however your group likes.

Who confirms a claim?

It's awarded when the hole is confirmed. Until then, anyone can change it.

How is junk counted?

Each player has a count on every hole. Say "Sam sandy" to voice scoring and it adds one.

Make every shot count.
