Longies & Shorties

Longies and Shorties Junk are awarded for the players with tee shots that come to rest, in the fairway, on the hole being played, and are either (i) closest to the flagstick of the hole being played (Longie), or (ii) furthest from the flagstick of the hole being played (Shortie).  As such, it is conceivable that the Longie could be awarded to the player who doesn't hit the longest drive, but due to direction of play on the hole, has a ball that comes to rest closer to the flagstick.

This methodology for assigning Longies and Shorties Junk can be traced to GPS technology which makes measuring a ball's relative position to a fixed point on the green readily determinable.

Is a putter needed for Nasty Junk: A Serious Discussion

A point for "Nasty" Junk is earned when a player holes out from off the green for par or better.  Since the purpose of junk is to reward exceptional play, Nasty Junk, sometimes called simply a 'nasty', is a popular and preferred Junk. There has been some debate about whether a nasty can be earned when the player holes out from off the green with a putter.  Some players have argued that a nasty should only be awarded when a 'non-putter club' (NPC) is used to make the stroke.  To make this determination, we must revisit 2 of the Fundamental Rules of Junk. Our first task is to determine if the use of the putter would make the hole out so routine that it would no longer be an exceptional shot. This would not be the case as the hole could not be so close to the edge of the green to make any hole out probable, even for pros. Secondly, the Junk should not give such an incentive, on balance, that a player m...

Aloha -- Hello or Good Bye

The Aloha bet is a simple 'double-or-nothing' bet which can be placed on the tee box of the final hole of play.  Essentially, the side losing the match monetarily wages that if their side wins the final hole, the bet is squared.  If the team leading the match wins, the loses are double and net junk earned on the final hole is thereafter add or subtracted from the total. It is important to note that the Aloha must be accepted by the side leading the match.  It cannot be unilaterally imposed by the side losing the match.  The GJA discourages the use of the Aloha bet as it increases the luck factor already present in a game of golf.  In equity, the play of 17 holes should not be negated by the results of one.
