How do the social side games (longest drive, closest to the pin) work?

When you create a Friendly round or a Group Admin creates a group event, there is the option to include a Longest Drive and Nearest the Pin competition. One or two holes maximum can be selected when setting-up the round for each side-game.

When the scorer is scoring that selected hole, before inputting the player’s gross scores, the scorer is asked, who, if anyone, won the side game. If someone from the group set or beat the previous best, then select that player from the list provided. A Longest Drive or Nearest the Pin icon will be included next to that player’s name on the event leaderboard.

For Group events, a physical marker is required on the course for both side games. ParUp Golf will record who is currently winning and who ultimately won.
