Side Games
Explore the 8+ side game types, how to join them, and how settlements work.
Overview
Side games add extra competition on top of the main event. Admins create side game templates at the league level, then activate specific games for each event.
Each side game can be scoped to the entire event or individual groups, and can use either gross or net scoring.
Skins
In Skins, each hole is worth a "skin". The player with the lowest score on a hole wins the skin. If two or more players tie, the skin carries over to the next hole, increasing its value.
Nassau
Nassau is essentially three bets in one: front nine, back nine, and overall 18. The player with the lowest score in each segment wins that portion of the bet.
Stableford
Stableford awards points based on your score relative to par on each hole: double bogey or worse = 0 points, bogey = 1, par = 2, birdie = 3, eagle = 4, albatross = 5. Highest total points wins.
Pools (Birdie, Eagle, Par-3)
Pool games collect a fixed entry fee and pay out to players who achieve specific results. Birdie Pool pays for birdies, Eagle Pool for eagles, and Par-3 Pool for the best score on par-3 holes.
Wolf
Wolf is a rotating game where one player (the Wolf) chooses a partner after watching each player's tee shot, or goes alone ("Lone Wolf") for double stakes.
Low Waist & Jueteng
Low Waist awards the player with the lowest score on specific designated holes. Jueteng is a numbers-based pool game tied to hole outcomes.
Both games support a maximum wins per season cap, preventing any single player from dominating.
Proximity
Proximity (closest to the pin) is measured on designated par-3 holes. The player whose tee shot lands closest to the pin wins the hole's pot.
