Ace,
A fabulous day! Thank you for hosting us ne'er-do-wells.
Rules,
Great job with the games. Especially clever, the way you had W0X0F
competing against himself. He rose to the occasion! That blind guy,
though...needs watching.

Ace,
Thank you so much for an absolutely fantastic day on the links today.
What great fun it was to see the SOGAGGers out floundering, fanning,
flailing, and frolicking (any other “f’ words that might be used here??)
So much appreciated all of your generosity and orchestration of today’s
entire enterprise.
As a sidelight, it seemed that (almost) everyone exhibited pretty good
behavior (you know who you are…). So we MAY be able to return (probably
best in disguise), some time in the future.
All in all – an OUTSTANDING DAY!!!!
You are the best!!!
Warmest wishes,
KD

*Keep your eyes peeled for the four course proximity contests (Longest
Putt on 3; Closest-to-the-pin on 6 & 16; and Longest Drive on 12).*
*The three foursomes will compete against each other for prize money.
Each player will contribute $15 to the pot, yielding a pot of $15x12=
$180. The pot will be awarded as:*
- *1st $80 ($20 per player)*
- *2nd $40 ($10 per player)*
- *3rd $20 ($5 per player)*
- *Each of 4 proximity contest winners: $10.*
*With thanks to Rules and sHank: The competition for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd
place will be the team game of “Best 2 of 4.” That is, the lowest 2 net
scores of each foursome’s 4 net scores will be recorded and summed for the
team’s score. Lowest team score wins.*
*In addition, each foursome will compete internally, each playing a
different game as follows: See the definitions below:*
*Team 1: Net Skins. $5 each player for the pot. (Usually, we don’t do
“net” skins, but it should work for one foursome.)*
* Team 2: Four Ball. $1 Front Nine, $1 Back Nine, & $1 18 holes for the
pot.*
* Team 3: Match Play. $1 Front Nine, $1 Back Nine, & $1 18 holes for
the pot.*
*Skins definition: Holes one through 16 are assigned one skin each.
Holes 17 and 18 are assigned two skins each, for a total of 20 skins. Each
player contributes $5 for the pot. *
*Toss a coin to determine who tees off first. Each player tees off in
turn, and normal stroke play continues until each player holes out. The
player with the lowest score on the first hole wins the skin for that
hole. If there is no lowest player – because two or more of the golfers
are tied for the lowest score on the hole – the skin is rolled over to the
next hole.** Tee off and play the next hole and continue through the
remaining holes until the round is finished. Keep track of who wins the
skins for each hole as you play. Total the number of skins. If the total
number of skins won is less than 20, conduct a closest-to-the-hole putting
contest from about 40 feet. The winner of the putting contest wins the
remaining skins. Award each player $1.00 from the pot for each skin won. *
*Four Ball Definition: So how does scorekeeping work in a four ball
match? We'll call our two teams White Team, consisting of Golfers A and B
(partners); and Green Team, consisting of Golfers C and D (partners).*
*On the first hole, all four golfers tee off, and all four golfers in the
match play their own golf balls until holed. The partners compare **NET
scores: Which of them made the better score on the hole? If Golfer A
scores net 4 and Golfer B scores net 6 on the first hole, then White Team’s
score on that hole is 4. If Green Team gets a net 3 from Golfer C and a
net 6 from Golfer D, the Green Team's score is 3. And Green Team, in this
example, has the lowest score on the first hole, 3 to 4. Play continues
and after 18 holes, the team with the overall lowest score is the winning
team. If the teams are tied after 18 holes, the game ends with a tie.*
*Match Play Definition: So how does scorekeeping work in a match? We'll
call our two teams Green Team, consisting of Golfers A and C; and White
Team, consisting of Golfers B and D. Golfer A (Green Team) competes
against Golfer B (White Team) while Golfer C (Green Team) competes against
Golfer D (White Team).*
*On the first hole, all four golfers tee off, and all four golfers in the
match play their own golf balls until holed. The competitors compare **NET
scores: Which of them made the better score on the hole? If Golfer A
(Green Team) scores net 4 and Golfer B (White Team) scores net 6 on the
first hole, then Green Team’s win is recorded as two points and White Team
records zero points. If Golfer A and Golfer B net scores are the same,
each team records one point. If Golfer B’s net score is less than Golfer
A’s net score, White Team records 2 points and Green Team records zero
points. Golfers C and D conduct a similar competition and scoring. Play
continues and after 18 holes, the team with the greater number of points is
the winning team. If the teams are tied after 18 holes, the game ends with
a tie.*
*Best to all,*
*/Ace*
