Skins

One pot, one hole at a time.
Whole field

The whole field plays for one pot; lowest net wins each hole. Ties push. Canadian breaks net ties by the lower gross — a gross birdie beats a net birdie.

How it works

The whole field plays for one pot. On every hole the lowest net score wins a skin; if two or more players tie for low, the hole pushes and pays nothing. There's no carryover — the pot simply splits across the holes that were won outright.

Regular, Canadian, or Gross

  • Skins (net): lowest net wins the hole; equal net scores tie.
  • Canadian: lowest net wins, but a net tie breaks to the lower gross — a gross birdie beats a net birdie. Only a truly even hole pushes.
  • Gross: lowest gross wins, no handicaps.

The payout

Count the holes won outright, divide the pot evenly among them, and each pays its low ball. Handicaps are field-relative: the lowest handicap in the field plays scratch, and everyone else gets their difference as strokes on the hardest holes.

Worked example
10 players, $5 each

A $50 pot. Over 18, five holes are won outright (the rest tie) — the pot splits into five $10 skins, each paid to whoever won that hole.
