Can we play junk: greenies, sandies, barkies?

Yes. A dots sheet rides on any round. Six come ready: birdie (auto from your score, an eagle counts 2), greenie (closest on a par 3), sandie (par after a bunker), barkie (par after a tree), snake (a 3-putt, the fewest collects) and long drive (longest in the fairway on one hole). Adding a match to a round also offers two one-tap packs, Bingo Bango Bongo and Trouble (water, OB, lost ball: that one costs whoever taps it), and your group can type a dot of its own and say whether it pays or costs. Set the dot value and the pot tallies, or play them for nothing, and they still tally. Each pot settles pair by pair on the difference in counts. Every bet picks its own sides, so birdies can be a team pot, where a side pools its count, while greenies go every golfer for themselves.
