🥔 Hot Potato
3–4 playersMain game
Hot Potato passes a growing penalty around the group until someone is stuck with it at the end. Bad Golf App tracks who is holding it and what it is worth.
How Hot Potato works
How it works: One token nobody wants. Pick a trigger at setup — 3-putt, double bogey, out of bounds, or water. Whenever someone does it, tap them: the potato moves to them and doubles in value every time it changes hands.
The sting: whoever is holding the potato after the 18th hole gives up its current value, split among everyone else. The pressure builds all the way to the clubhouse.
Example: 1 start, doubling. After it changes hands 4 times it's worth 16 — and it's live until the final putt drops.
Setup options: starting value, trigger (3-putt / double / OB / water).
Any number of players (2+).
