Sitting on my patio looking at the mountains on a clear and beautiful Saturday morning in Nuevo. For those golfing in the Toys for Tots, looks like a beauty.

The game for next week will be the a 4 man team event (net) where we will count the 3BB on par 4’s, 2 BB on par 5’s, and 1BB on par 3’s. KP and DP as usual.

Rod Spence will be accepting your 100 peso contributions this week. Thank you Rod

A beautiful Saturday morning in Nuevo. I have entered my score’s into the handicap system as I hope all of you have also. The handicap system works on honesty, a fairness to your fellow golfer and friend. In league play golfers like to see a fair playing field, so please enter all your scores, whether they are a 68 or 108. Nobody is going to the PGA Tour, so what’s the big deal.

The game for next week will be the a 4 man Nassau team event (1-9, 10-18, Total) with the 2BB net counted on each hole. 1st and 2nd place payout for each section, KP’s and DP’s.

As I never asked for a volunteer for this week, I will gladly be accepting your 100 peso contributions.

Rules to abide by:
(1) Bunkers can be raked if machine grooves or footprints are evident. Plugged or fried eggs are played as is.

(2) Balls in the fairway can be lifted cleaned and replaced. This includes balls in the 2nd cut around the green. Balls in the rough are identified visually and played as is. The lie of the ball in the rough cannot be improved under any circumstance.

Thank you all for keeping the course in good shape by filling in divots and repairing ball marks on the greens.

Until Wednesday,

ElTigre Golfers,

Well, here I am on a beautiful Friday evening, enjoying a nice cold cerveza, typing up this letter. Does it get any better than that.

The game for next week will be the 2 best balls of the foursome (net).

Wednesday will introduce a new entry fee of 100 peso for the event. The old system of 50 peso entry + 50 peso for deuce pot and KP will be no more.

Each 100 peso entry fee will be split 80% (80 peso) towards the game, 10% (10 peso) for the deuce pot, and 10% (10 peso) for the closest to the pin. The 80% or 80 peso will be split as follows: 35 peso for 1st place team, 25 peso for 2nd place team, 15 peso for the 3rd place team, and 10 peso for the 4th place team.

Thanks for keeping the course in good shape by filling in divots and repairing ball marks on the greens.

For those golfing in the Members tournament on Saturday, have a great time.

Until Wednesday,

ElTigre Golfers,

We had a great turnout on Wednesday with 35 golfers. The game for next week will be the “Waltz” and will coincide with the return of Don Marshall. The Waltz is the 1,2,3 game: Record 1 low net score on hole #1, Record the 2 low net scores on hole #2, Record the 3 low net scores on hole #3, and then back to recording the 1 low net score on hole #4, and so on……

Thanks for keeping the course in good shape by filling in divots and repairing ball marks on the greens.

One sad item I have to report, and I hope this will be the last time I have to mention it.

The bill for the all the drinks after golf was $1916, with IVA included and no tip. The money collected was $1840. I contributed the rest and added a tip. Let’s go over a few things:

1. Beer and only beer only is a 2 for the price of 1 deal. If you choose to have only one beer you still pay the $52 + the IVA + a small amount for a tip. This was working out to people contributing $60.

2. Golfers who choose to drink water, soda, limonada, or anything else than beer, are responsible for finding out the cost of such beverage + IVA + a small tip and leaving this amount towards the bill.

3. One final word, 35 golfers x $60 = $2100. That is all that was needed.

Until Wednesday,

El Capitan
