Side games scored and paid to the penny
Gimme scores the side games a league plays on top of its main format: skins with carryover, closest to the pin, long drive, low gross and low net of the week, and a season prize fund. Payouts are worked out in whole cents, they add back to the pot exactly, and every dollar goes in a ledger.
Gimme opens for the 2027 season. Join the waitlist and we email you once when it does.
Skins, with the arguments settled in advance
Skins can be gross, net, or both with a split. Carryover is a switch. Half strokes are an option. If nobody wins a skin, the unclaimed money shows up in the pot balance instead of vanishing.
The table is the free skins calculator’s worked example: four golfers, nine holes, $10 each.
| Hole | SI | Pat | Lee | Sam | Alex | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 5 | 5 | •3 | •4 | 4 | Lee wins 1 skin |
| 2 | 1 | •5 | •5 | •6 | 5 | Tied, skin carries |
| 3 | 7 | 3 | 4 | •3 | 3 | Tied, skin carries |
| 4 | 3 | 5 | •3 | •4 | 4 | Lee wins 3 skins (2 carried in) |
| 5 | 9 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 3 | Alex wins 1 skin |
| 6 | 2 | •3 | •3 | •3 | 3 | Tied, skin carries |
| 7 | 6 | 6 | 5 | •5 | 6 | Tied, skin carries |
| 8 | 4 | 3 | •4 | •4 | 4 | Pat wins 3 skins (2 carried in) |
| 9 | 8 | 4 | 5 | •3 | 5 | Sam wins 1 skin |
Closest to the pin, long drive and weekly lows
The commissioner or a captain enters the closest to the pin distance or the long drive. Ties share the prize in whole cents. Low gross and low net of the week are worked out from the posted scores, with an option to allow one award per golfer.
A season prize fund with your payout table
Set a payout table by place or by flight, for example 50/30/20. Golfers who tie share the money of the places they fill. The free payout calculator runs the same math.
- Every split uses the largest remainder rule, so payouts add up to the pot
- The pot ledger shows buy-ins, payouts and balance for every week
- Export the ledger as a CSV any time
