Side-Bet Overlay
Junk is a layer of small side bets - greenies, sandies, polies, barkies, arnies - that ride on top of any base format. Players earn dots for specific in-round achievements and settle them separately from the main game.

The Five Dots
Each one rewards a different kind of golf moment
Closest to the pin on the green in regulation on a par 3. Dropped if you don't make par.
Par or better on a hole where you played a shot from a greenside bunker.
One-putt where the ball was farther from the cup than the length of the flagstick.
Par or better on a hole where your ball hit a tree at any point.
Par or better without ever finding the fairway. Named after Arnold Palmer's scrambling.
Step by Step
Before the round, agree which dots are in play and what each is worth (typically $1-$5 per dot).
Whenever a player hits the trigger condition, anyone in the group can flag the dot from the live scorecard.
Junk runs alongside your main game. You can play stroke play + junk, Nassau + junk, skins + junk - any combination.
Total dots earned, multiply by the stake, and settle alongside the main game's payout.
No. Pick the ones your group enjoys. Greenies and sandies are the most common; polies, barkies, and arnies are optional. caddie.fun also has a CUSTOM dot type so you can invent your own.
Casual rounds: $1-$2 per dot. Higher-stakes buddy rounds: $5-$10. Stakes are configurable per round on caddie.fun.
Yes. A par-3 where you made it from the bunker would be a sandie + greenie. A par on a tree-rebounding shot would be a barkie. They stack.
The pot is split equally among all players. You always settle at zero rather than carrying junk forward.
Yes. JUNK can be selected as the standalone game format too - the round is scored entirely by dot value.
