Also called Noonan, Noonans
Each player gets one or two gotchas to yell during an opponent's backswing.
Overlay on any money match. Each golfer receives 1-2 gotchas per round (2 is common; better players may get 1). At any time during an opponent's backswing, full swing or putt, a player may yell gotcha to try to disrupt the shot. Once used, a gotcha is gone. Keep normal etiquette toward other groups on the course.
No scoring of its own; the disruption plays out in the underlying bet (Nassau, skins, etc.).
Pure Caddyshack chaos at the worst possible moment.
