How It Works - Golf's Traditional "Honors"
In traditional golf, the winner of a hole has "honors" and tees off first on the next hole. Plus 150 Hammer turns this into a betting opportunity:
Win a hole โ Establish honors โ Collect fees for every subsequent hole until your opponent wins
๐ The Power of Continuous Fees
๐๏ธ Hole 1: Team 1 wins โ Establishes HONORS
Team 1 will collect $2 fee for Hole 2
๐๏ธ Hole 2: Team 1 wins again โ KEEPS honors + collects $2 fee
Earnings: $5 (hole) + $2 (fee) = $7
Team 1 will collect $2 fee for Hole 3
๐๏ธ Hole 3: TIE โ Team 1 KEEPS honors + collects $2 fee
Earnings: $0 (tie) + $2 (fee) = $2
Team 1 will collect $2 fee for Hole 4
๐๏ธ Hole 4: TIE again โ Team 1 STILL has honors + collects $2 fee
Earnings: $0 (tie) + $2 (fee) = $2
๐๏ธ Hole 5: Team 2 WINS โ TAKES honors + collects $2 fee
Team 2 now controls honors and starts collecting fees!
The Key Insight: Team 1 collected appearance fees for Holes 2, 3, 4, and 5 because they held honors from Hole 1 through Hole 4. Even though Holes 3 and 4 tied, Team 1 kept honors and collected fees. That's $8 in appearance fees from winning just one hole early!
Strategic Value
- Tied holes become profitable when you have honors (fee with no risk!)
- Early leads compound - win Hole 1 and start collecting immediately
- Momentum matters - protect your honors through smart, safe play
- Creates a psychological advantage - you're earning while opponents chase
