Men’s Mixer – Wednesday, January 29th, 2020

Hola El Tigre Golfers,

The game for this Wednesday will be a modified “red-white-blue” four person team event. Each team will need to count two net best ball scores for all red and all blue pins and three net best ball scores for all white pins. As usual, please record all gross and net scores for all players on your team and provide team summaries for the front 9, back 9 and the total 18 hole score. Lastly, don’t forget to circle any gross deuces “2” on your card, repair all divots, and rake out your footprints from any bunkers that you may have entered. Good luck to all players!

Men’s Mixer – Wednesday, January 22nd, 2020

Hola El Tigre Golfers,

The game for this Wednesday will be the Waltz, played as a four person team event. Each team will count one net best ball score on hole # 1, two net best ball scores on hole # 2 and three net best ball scores on hole # 3 and this pattern will continue for all 18 holes. All teams will need to record gross and net scores for all players on all holes and provide summary team score totals for the front 9, the back nine and the total 18 hole score. This week we will also add a “fewest putts” competition to the mix. Each team will need to appoint someone that will record putts for all team players and provide similar summaries as for the Waltz team event. As always, please remember to circle any gross deuces “2”, repair all divots and rake out any footprint from any bunkers that you may have entered. Good luck to all players!

Combo Tees on Phone

Until we have new scorecards that include the combo tees, and as an alternative to using the temporary scorecards Steve Johnson has printed, here is a suggestion. If you carry a smartphone, bookmark this page on your phone. You can then refer to it to determine which holes you play forward and which you play back, but actually keep score on the standard scorecards. And to avoid having to refer to your phone during the round, you might want to use that bookmarked page on your phone before the round, and just circle the hole numbers on your scorecard for those holes where you play the forward tees.

CHASE THE ACE

Overview

The Chase the Ace card game also known as Screw Your Neighbor or Cuckoo is a very interesting game that can be played with a group of people. All you need is a standard 52 card deck.

Set Up: The dealer shuffles the cards and deals 1 card face down to all players on the field, that’s it, just 1.
Each player starts with a set number of lives, usually 3 or 4. Your objective to not be the one stuck with the lowest card. Cards go in this order from lowest to highest A,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,J,Q,K, Yes Aces are the lowest. 
Play Chase the Ace: The dealer goes last. The person to the left of the dealer starts and it goes around clockwise until it gets to the dealer. 
When it is your turn you look at your card and can choose 1 of 2 options, you can either choose to keep your card, or you can choose to exchange your card with the person on the left of you.
In which case the person to the left of you has to trade cards with you, unless they have a King. If they have a King they have to show everyone and get to keep their card, and you are stuck with yours. 
This goes around the table until it gets to the dealer. When it is the dealers turn they can choose to keep their card or exchange it with one from the deck. If they exchange it with one from the deck and they draw a King they must return the king and keep their first card. 

Losing a life: When everyone has gone the person with the lowest card loses a life if multiple people have the lowest card they all lose a life. 
How to Win: Once you lose 3 lives you have lost and no longer get cards. You keep playing until everyone but 1 person has lost all 3 of their lives. That person is the winner. 
If the last people lose their last life during the same round you do a rematch between them. 

Final Thoughts: This is a great game not only for families, but also for those times when you have a group of friends over for some cards. The hands are quick and there’s a lot of fun to be had in stealing the cards of your friends. Bluffing is also important as you want the person to your right to think that your card is horrible so they won’t steal yours!
