🚩 Nassau

2–4 playersMain gamewith Huckle

The Nassau is the classic three-part match: front nine, back nine and the overall 18, each worth the same amount. Bad Golf App scores all three at once, in stroke or match play, and supports presses (the "Huckle") so a losing side can double down.

How Nassau works

How it works: Three separate games in one — front 9, back 9, and overall 18. Each is worth the same units amount.

Two scoring formats:

• Stroke play (default): lowest total score wins each segment.
• Match play: count holes won (e.g., "1 up after 5"). Closes when one player can't catch up ("3&2" means won 3 with 2 to play).

Special-score bonuses: on top of the segment games, every birdie, eagle, and hole-in-one earns a bonus from each other player. Albatross scores at the eagle rate.

📣 Huckle: if you're down 2+ in any segment (strokes for stroke play, holes for match play), you can call a Huckle — a fresh side game for the same units amount, between you and the current leader, played from this hole through the end of that segment.

• When you're eligible, the score-entry screen shows a 📣 Call Huckle button.
• Huckles can stack: if you're down 2+ in your active Huckle, you can Huckle again on top of it.
• Counter-huckles are not allowed: only the original trailing player can stack.
• If you don't call before the segment ends, the game just plays out.

Example: 5 Nassau with 10 birdies. After 5 holes you're down 2 strokes on the front — call Huckle. New 5 game runs holes 6–9 between you and the leader. Lowest total over those 4 holes wins the Huckle. The original front-9 game still plays out separately.

Setup options: units value per side, format (stroke/match), allow Huckles toggle, birdie/eagle/HIO awards.
