What Multi-Group Skins Is

A skins game that spans every foursome in your outing instead of running inside one group. The lowest score on a hole across the entire field wins the skin. Ties carry over to the next hole, exactly like a regular skins game.

It works for any outing where multiple groups are playing the same course on the same day. Eight players in two foursomes, twenty in five, doesn't matter. Everyone competes for the same pot.

In-group bets keep working: Multi-Group Skins runs alongside whatever your foursome is playing internally. Nassau inside the group, skins across the field. Both settle independently.

Step 2 of 5

Open the Lobby

From the home screen, tap New Multi-Group Skins. Set the buy-in, choose Net or Gross scoring, and decide whether unclaimed skins carry to the next hole.

The app generates a 6-character share code for the lobby. Send it to everyone playing by text, group chat, whatever works.

Pre-round RSVP: The lobby is the entry list. Players have to RSVP before tee time. After the first tee shot, the pot is locked and late arrivals cannot buy in.

Step 3 of 5

Players RSVP

Each player opens the share link or types the code into the app, taps Accept, and confirms they are in. The lobby roster shows everyone who has joined and the running pot total.

Players who do not RSVP do not pay in and do not win skins. Clear line, no after-the-fact arguments at the 19th hole.

Friend codes work too: If you have friends added in the app, you can invite them directly from your friend list. They get a push notification with one-tap accept.

Play Inside Your Group

Once the lobby is locked, each foursome plays its own round in the app, same scoring screen, same hole-by-hole entry. Multi-Group Skins reads scores from every group and rolls them into one field-wide skins leaderboard.

The skins leaderboard updates in real time. After every hole, you can see which player in the field made the low score, what skins are sitting in the carryover pile, and how the pot is shaping up.

Multi-group + in-group: Your foursome can run a Nassau, Wolf, or 6-6-6 internally at the same time. The app keeps them separate. Skins is field-wide; everything else stays in your group.

Step 5 of 5

Settle Up

When the last group finishes, the Settle Up sheet shows skins payouts across the whole field alongside any in-group bets. Each player sees their skins won, their in-group P&L, and the net amount owed.

Tap any debt to send Venmo. The app pre-fills the amount and the note. Pay up, you're done.

Tournaments too: Multi-Group Skins works in tournaments AND in single-round outings. Add it on the Games step of tournament setup, or stand it up as a standalone skins game when your buddies show up at the course.

Bigger field, same skins game

A normal skins game lives inside one foursome. Sixteen players means four separate skins games and four separate pots, even when everyone is at the same course on the same day. Multi-Group Skins fixes that. One pot, one leaderboard, one settlement at the end.

The pre-round RSVP lobby keeps the math honest. Everyone who pays in is on the list, everyone on the list has a chance to win skins. Carryovers behave the same way they do in a regular game. A tied hole rolls into the next one, and the pot can grow fast across 18 holes and a 16-player field.
