How It Works
On every par 3, the player whose tee shot finishes closest to the pin wins the KP dot 🚩 — regardless of whether they make the putt. It is tapped in on the hole. If nobody reaches the green, the hole goes unawarded.

Options & Variations
Carryover defaults ON for this preset — any par 3 that goes unawarded presses the next par 3 up by 1×, so a round of missed greens builds a big pot by the back nine. Payout mode: Points (default $2/dot) or Winner Takes All (default $5/player). Per-dot value multipliers (dotValues, 1×–5×). Mode: Individual (default) or Team (closest team's player wins).

Pro Tips
