Skin's game was a Jack Nicklaus, developed for TV back in the early 80's, concept It pitted 4 golfer vying for skins where it required one golfer to beat the other three to win the skin. If two or more golfer tied for the low score on the hole the skin was tied and carried over to the next hole, the next hole would then be worth two skins. That carry over was progressive until the skin was won in which case the skin value would revert to one. The one with the most total skins would be the winner. Variations where different holes are worth different amounts of money have made it sometimes that the money is used to declare the winner. Additional applications of the skins game are used where many golfer often in different fore-somes compete for skins. It is essentially a form of gambling where the single low score on any given hole wins the money.

You and your playing partners play for an agreed amount per hole. The person with the lowest score on a hole wins the money for that hole. You can play one-tie-all tie and you can choose to have carry overs if there's a tie on a hole or to not have carry overs. You can choose to play with your handicaps or not.
Normally, the amount of money is not very much but it does make you focus more.
Skins has been played for centuries.

Skins is a game where each hole is assigned a monetary value and the outright winner of the hole collects the pot for that hole, however if no clear winner on a particular hole then the money is carried over to the next hole and so the pot grows.

It's kind of like when you play shirts and skins while playing football with your friend.
One team wears shirts while the other team will be shirtless (skins).
In this, you are able to know who is on your team while everyone is running around the field.
Same thing with Golf. The trick is to get women to play with you

skins is when you make money for every hole you win (match play) and then at the end of the round, you and your playing partners pay up
