📖
How It Works
Two teams of two play. On each hole, each team combines their two net scores into a two-digit number by placing the lower score in the tens digit and the higher score in the ones digit. E.g. scores of 4 and 5 become "45."
🏆
Winning Each Hole
The team with the lower combined number wins the hole. The difference between the two combined numbers is the number of points won. E.g. 45 vs. 53 = 8 points for the winning team.

Options & Variations
Bet-per-point (default $1). A full set of birdie/eagle modifiers can each be toggled (all on by default): birdie flips and birdie doubles, eagle flips and eagle doubles, an eagle+birdie triple, and a two-eagle quadruple. Optional max-score cap (double/triple bogey) keeps blow-ups from detonating the combined number. Assign Team A / B; handicaps use Index on Low HC (on) with a percentage (default 100%). Note: birdie/eagle detection is net-only — there is no gross/net toggle.
💰
Payouts
At the end of the round, the total point difference is multiplied by the dollar-per-point rate. The losing team pays the winning team the total.

Pro Tips
•A birdie that triggers a flip can swing 20+ points — an enormous momentum shift.
•Set a max-score cap so one team blow-up doesn't hand over a giant number.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Vegas work in golf?
Two teams of two combine their scores into a two-digit number each hole — low score first, so a 4 and a 5 make 45. The lower team number wins the difference in points, each worth a set dollar amount.
What flips the number in Vegas?
A birdie by the opposing team flips your number to high-first — your 45 becomes 54 — which is what makes birdies so violent in Vegas. Eagles typically flip and multiply. A score of 10+ forces that number first automatically (a blow-up 4-and-12 becomes 124, not 412... and no flip can save it).
How much money moves in a Vegas game?
The per-point value times the point differential per hole, summed over the round. Differences of 5–15 points per hole are routine and a flipped birdie hole can swing 30+, so at 25¢–$1 a point a Vegas round can settle in the hundreds. Start small.
Do handicaps work in Vegas?
Yes — each player's net score per hole (after standard stroke allocation) builds the team number, usually indexed to the low handicap in the group, so mixed-ability teams stay competitive.
