⚔️ Match play

Match play is head-to-head, hole by hole: win more holes than your opponent and the match closes out early. Bad Golf App shows the match status ("2 up with 3 to play") live and applies handicap strokes on the right holes.
How Match play works
How it works: Pair players up head-to-head. Each pairing plays match play — count holes won, not strokes. "1 up" means up by 1 hole. Match closes when one player can't possibly catch up ("3&2" = won 3 holes with 2 to play).
Example: 20 match. You're 2 up after 16. Opponent can win at most 1 of the last 2 holes — match closes, you win 20.
Setup options: Units per match, net or gross.
