Definition: Auto Win is a match play tournament or betting game in which holes are automatically won by any player accomplishing one of the following:
• Chip-in from off the green (fringes don't count)
• Hole-out from a sand trap
• Stick an approach inside the flagstick from 150 yards out or more, or on any par 3
The player with the most holes won (call them skins or points or whatever suits your fancy) at the end of the round wins the match or the bet. If more than one player achieves an Auto Win on a hole, the options are to consider the hole halved, award no points at all, or carry over the point (or skin) to the next hole.
