🎯 Closest to the Pin
any numberSide game
Closest to the pin is the one-shot contest on a chosen par 3. Bad Golf App lets you pick the holes, records the winner and folds it into the round's unit totals.
How Closest to the Pin works
How it works: The organizer picks which holes qualify when setting up the round (any holes — usually the par 3s, but it's your call). On each qualifying hole, every player puts in the set amount, the group marks who stuck it closest — ball must be on the green — and logs the distance in feet and inches. Closest takes the whole prize pool.
On the score screen: qualifying holes show a 🎯 Closest to the Pin row — tap the winner, punch in the feet + inches. The Board lists every CTP hole with the winner, distance, and prize pool (and flags holes nobody's logged yet).
In tournaments: when rounds are linked to an event, the tournament card automatically shows the single best CTP across all groups for each hole — one prize, the whole field competing.
Example: 5 CTP on holes 3, 8, and 15 with 4 players. On hole 8, Kevin sticks it to 3' 7" — closest of the group. He takes 5 from each of the other three: +15.
