What is “The Hammer” in TGL?
“The Hammer Rule” allows teams to increase the value of a specific hole throughout the contest.
A pre-match coin toss determines which team will begin the game with possession of “The Hammer.” The possessing team can then throw it during any hole.
If “The Hammer” is thrown and accepted, the point total of the hole increases by one. For example, holes normally count for 1 point. A thrown Hammer increases the value to 2 points. Teams must accept a Hammer throw if it occurs prior to the hole’s first shot.
