Want to play more golf

Gentlemen

Are you wanting to be able to golf a little more without the hassle of trying to sort out a tee time by going on line and scanning what is left for you to chose from?

You can have all that done for you and be able to golf at least three times a week (with men’s league),and all you have to do is register on your eltigreleagues calendar and you are done.

After that just show up for your round of golf with other club members and sometimes guest, then enjoy 4-5 hrs of sunshine and comradery with your team and other players to see if you have played well enough to cash in on your group win or maybe a couple skins.

There are a maximum of 24 spots available for Skins on Monday and Friday and they fill up fast, but for various reasons players have to cancel, leaving spots open up to and including the day of the round.

If you check on your calendar regularly and there are not 24 players registered, then check the box and your in.

You can also check the box if it is full, and you will be added to the waiting list. When a spot comes open an email will be sent out for an additional opportunity to include yourself for that day.

 

We have secured 48 golf spots per week (six per day) for your pleasure. All you have to do is register on your calendar! Thats it!

We have the privilege of having these tee times secured for us as members. Let’s fill them as much as we can so we can take advantage of them.  

 

Skins League rules

All tee times start at 11:00. Maximum six teams. This is not a shotgun start.

All players are invited to play (guest at special request) and can be included if a spot is open. Members first.

We play Canadian Skins rules. If you are not familiar with Canadian Skins rules, research it so you are familiar with them.

Two games are played concurrently.

There is a Team game as well as the Skins game.

Each six (6) holes is another game.

Team format is determined on the day of the competition.

Skins are determined at the end of play. (Maximum two skins per player).

ALL HANDICAPS are welcome to register and play.

Full handicaps are used and tee boxes are set by your age and handicap.

Fee to play is $150.00 Pesos.

 

I look forward to you old veterans and rookies players coming out and spend some time doing what you came here for.

A FUN ROUND OF GOLF AND MAYBE SOME SKIN!

 

If you have any questions regarding the Skins format and need some clarification please contact me at laprivada6@gmail.com and I will respond as soon as possible.

Thank you and good golfing
