Dots (Junk)

Points for the good stuff — birdies, greenies, sandies, and more.

Dots — also called Junk or Garbage — rewards on-course achievements. Every "dot" is worth the stake, collected from every other player. It's zero-sum, so the best day pays for the worst.

What earns a dot

  • Birdie / Eagle — read straight off your scorecard.
  • Greenie — on a green in regulation on a par 3.
  • Sandy — up and down from a bunker for par.
  • Barkie — par or better after hitting a tree.
  • Chip-in — holing out from off the green.
  • Snake — a 3-putt: a penalty dot (−1).

In GimmeTab

  • Birdies and eagles count themselves from the scorecard.
  • Tap the rest onto the bet card as they happen.
  • Agree with your group on exactly what counts before you tee off — greenie/sandy rules vary by crew.
