8 golfers play a 3-hole round of golf.
There are no turns and everyone plays simultaneously in real time.

Once the first golfer holes out, everyone else has 40 seconds to hole out or incur a time out penalty.
Golfers who are timed out receive a stroke penalty (hole par count + 2 strokes).
After all 3 holes are played, the golfer with the lowest stroke count wins.
If the number of strokes are the same between more than one golfer, they will be tied.

Finish within the top spots to win gold and trophies. Failing to place within the top spot will result in a loss of the gold entry fee.
It is up to each golfer to strategize whether to focus on getting a low stroke count by taking the time with your shots, or to hole out as fast as they can.
