Hammer

Rules

On each hole, the party will agree on wagers between each individuals or team. The entire premise of this game is to press your opponents if you feel confident in your position to beat them. This press is called a hammer and the right to hammer rotates through the party on each hole. When a player/team throws the hammer, they challenge the opposing team or all opposing players at the same time to either:

Accept and double the wager for the hole.
Reject and concede the wager value.

The decision to throw the hammer can happen at any time until the first player holes. Once thrown, the receiving team/players must make a decision before the next shot.

Your party can decide to implement single hammer throws or multiple per hole. If single, once thrown, you have confidence to know it cannot be thrown again. If multiple, anyone who recently was hammered can throw it back but only at the original hammer thrower to keep wagers concise.

It's also up to your party to define how the tee order will coincide with the hammer rotation order, specifically whether they should tee first or last.

Wagers are a wash between teams or players who tie. Throughout the round, each player will need to keep up with their individual wagers with other players.

Example

Bob, Banks, Kevin, and Kyle are playing a hole. They agree to a common wager of 10 points between all 1v1 matchups on this hole to keep it simple, although they could decide on differing wagers if they wish. Bob starts the rotation off with the hammer and for this example, will tee last. Banks and Kevin hit poor tee shots, but Kyle hits a great one. Bob hits an average tee shot and likes his chances so he hammers. Kevin and Kyle accept upping to 20pt / ea, but Banks concedes. At this point, Banks' betting for the hole is over and is down 10pt.

The party decided to allow multiple hammers. Bob cannot throw anymore, but Kevin and Kyle can both spontaneously hammer back at any point. Kevin's 2nd shot is a great shot to counteract his poor tee shot. Kyle also hits a great 2nd shot. Bob's 2nd shot is hit poorly. Kyle throws his hammer back to Bob. Bob concedes and Kyle is up 20pt.

From this point out, Banks is down 10pt and out, Kyle is up 20pt is out, but Bob is down 10pt and still has to think about Kevin hammering him back. After their 3rd shots, Kevin hammers and Bob accepts. Their wager is now up to 40pts. On the green, Bob has a 10' putt and hammers Kevin who has a 16' putt. Kevin, torn between conceding such a large pot, accepts to up the wager to 80pt. Bob misses his putt and Kevin sinks his, winning 80pt.

The final standings after one hole in the perspective of Bob are:

Up 10 on Banks
Down 20 on Kyle
Down 80 on Kevin

Not a great hole Bob… The next hole will rotate to a new player with first right to hammer.
