⛳ Skins
2–8 playersMain game
Skins is the simplest game in golf: win the hole outright, win the skin. Tie the hole and the skin carries over, so a quiet front nine can turn into one very loud 17th. Bad Golf App tracks carry-overs, par-or-better rules and pool splits in units automatically.
How Skins works
How it works: The lowest score on a hole wins the "skin" (the units value for that hole). If two or more players tie for low, no one wins — the skin either carries over to the next hole (prize pool grows) or is split among tied players, depending on what you set.
Par-or-better requirement (optional): turn this on and the lowest score still has to be at par or better to win the skin. Choose "net par" (after handicap strokes) or "gross par" (raw score). If the leader makes bogey or worse, no one wins — the skin carries over (or dies, per your tied-skins rule).
Example: 1 skins. You make a 4 on a par 4 while everyone else makes 5. You win 1 from each player. Next hole, the low score is a 6 on a par 5 — with par-or-better off, the low scorer wins; with par-or-better on, no one wins because nobody made par, and the skin carries to the next hole.
Play a pool: flip the switch and skins becomes a entry game — each player puts in the entry, the pool is split by skins won, and a tied hole is simply no skin.
Setup options: units value per skin (or the pool switch and an entry per player), tie behavior (carry / split / none), win requirement (any score / net par / gross par).
