They can still be settled.
Mayhem is a prop bet you write yourself, in your own words, about anything that can happen on a golf course. No format. No scorecard. Just a dare, a dollar amount, and a friend who should have known better.

Every other game in GolfApp works off your scorecard. Enter your numbers and Nassau, Scotch, and Skins resolve themselves.
Mayhem doesn't work that way, because the best bets in golf were never about your score.
They're about whether Pete can carry the water on 12. Whether you can go a whole round without losing a ball. Whether the guy who's been talking since the parking lot can actually hit the green from 150. None of that shows up on a scorecard, and no app can calculate it — so we gave you a blank text field and got out of the way.
Write the terms. Name a price. Send it.
Real Mayhem bets look like this. Steal any of them.
"Bet you hit 10 fairways or less"
"Birdie 2 or more holes and you win"
"$5 says you can't hit 11's green"
"You three-putt the first green"
"First one in the water buys dinner"
"Closest to the pin on 7"
"You don't break 90 today"
"No lost balls, all 18"
"You beat your handicap or you're driving home"
The terms field is free text. If you can describe it, you can bet it.
Three taps and a bad decision.
Give it a name and type out the terms in plain English. There's no format to follow and nothing to configure — if you can say it out loud on the tee box, you can write it down. Set the wager and pick who you're coming after.
The bet lands on your friend's phone and they decide. Accept it and it goes live in both of your Mayhem tabs. Turn it down and it gets stamped REJECTED, which is its own kind of result — and stays in the record for you to bring up later.
When the round's over, answer the only question that matters: did you win? Yes, no, or a tie. GolfApp logs the result, moves the money onto your ledger, and files the whole thing away. Talk your trash in the comments while you're there.
Mayhem gets its own tab in the app. Live bets sit at the top, settled ones underneath with the damage attached — +$5 here, -$5 there, and the occasional REJECTED stamp from somebody who didn't like their odds.
It builds up over a season. Every bet you've ever sent, every one you've taken, every one you talked your way out of. That's the record, and it doesn't go anywhere.
Mayhem bets ride alongside your games. Whatever you're up or down on a prop bet lands in the same ledger as your Nassau and your Skins, so the group settles the whole day at once instead of doing math in the parking lot.
When people you're connected to tee off without you, GolfApp tells you. Only when you're not in the round, obviously — announcing a round you're standing in the middle of would be a strange thing to do.
So it's Tuesday afternoon, you're at work, and three of your buddies are somewhere on the 6th without you.
You can't play. You can still get in the mix. Send a Mayhem bet from your desk — pick a hole, name a price, dare somebody to go for it. Or just text the group something unhelpful about the last time they played that tee shot.
Either way you're in the round. You just aren't carrying a bag.
We named the whole company's personality after it, so we'd better explain ourselves.
Mayhem is the fun chaos that happens on a golf course. It's the bet somebody makes on the 4th tee that nobody writes down, that gets disputed on the 9th, and that everybody has a different memory of at dinner. It's the best part of playing golf with people you like — and it's the part every scoring app ignores completely, because it can't be reduced to a formula.
So we didn't try. We just gave it somewhere to live.
A Mayhem bet is a free-text prop bet you send to a friend in GolfApp. You write the terms in your own words — anything from three-putting a green to breaking 90 — set a wager, and send it. It isn't tied to a scorecard or a game format, so you can bet on absolutely anything that happens on a golf course.
Games like Nassau, Skins, and Scotch are scored automatically from the scores you enter. A Mayhem bet is anything you can put into words, so there's nothing to calculate — you and your friend agree on the terms up front and report the result when it's over.
Anything you can describe. Fairways hit, three-putts, whether somebody clears the water, who buys dinner. The terms are a free text field, so the only limit is what the two of you agree to.
It gets marked REJECTED and stays in your Mayhem history. No money moves — but the record of them turning it down doesn't go anywhere either.
When the bet is over you report the outcome in the app — win, loss, or tie. GolfApp records it and tracks the running dollar total alongside your other action, so everything settles up together at the end.
No. A Mayhem bet is between you and whichever friends you send it to. It doesn't require a shared round, a shared group, or a shared tee time.
