I have a possible idea for a new format. It's just like golf (18 holes) but using a "skins game" format.
Lay it on us.
I'll copy/paste the basic golf format:

Key Aspects of the Skins Game:

1. Individual Competition: Each player plays their own ball, and the lowest score on a hole wins the skin.

2. Ties and Carryovers: If two or more players tie for the lowest score, no skin is awarded for that hole, and its value is added to the next hole's pot.

3. Winning: The player who wins a hole outright claims all the skins accumulated up to that point.

4. Final Tally: The player with the most skins (or the highest total value of skins) at the end of the round is the winner.

Let's say each hole is $500. If no one wins that first hole outright, the next hole is worth $1,000. And so on.

Why not? Would the base skin be 1 point? I'm okay with awarding that to you for the 1st hole we just played. This probably won't end well for my perpetual 2nd or last self. :problem:

Is the winner/s of a hole determined solely by strokes, or do minutes break ties again?

We go strictly by strokes.

Since we started already, maybe we can try the new format after this round?
