Scorecard

Sample round

Net skins need the stroke index row. Copy it from your scorecard, where it's usually labeled Handicap or HCP. Index 1 is the hardest hole and gets the first stroke. A 10 handicap gets a stroke on index 1 through 10. A dot marks each hole where a player gets a stroke.

Up to 40 players. Enter gross scores; net is worked out for you.

How the math works

One skin per hole

The lowest score on a hole wins its skin, but only if nobody matches it. Two players tied for low means nobody wins that hole.

Carryovers

With carryovers on, a tied hole rolls into the next one. Tie three holes in a row and the fourth is worth four skins. Any skins still tied after the last hole go unclaimed. With carryovers off, a tied skin is simply dead.

Net strokes follow the stroke index

Handicap strokes go to the hardest holes first, in stroke index order. A 22 handicap gets a stroke on every hole and a second one on index 1 through 4. A plus 2 gives a stroke back on the two easiest holes. For 9 holes, enter each player's 9-hole handicap.

Payouts

The pot is the buy-in times the number of players. It's split evenly across every skin won, so a carried skin worth 3 pays three shares. If nobody wins a skin, nothing pays out.

Running skins every week?

This does one round. We do the season.

The calculator works off scores you type in. LeaderBoard Caddie collects them from players' phones as they play, applies handicap strokes from each player's index and tees, and has skins paid out before the last group walks off 18.
