Remember to “SAVE” your calendar – that option is at the bottom of the page. Vivian Heistad will be the emergency contact for any changes after Wednesday at midnight. vheistad@hotmail.com

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.

Skins Game Tee Choices

Slight modification to the skins game tee choices available to players: Anyone can play from the blues, blue/whites, whites, or white/golds, as stated last week. But we will now allow older, higher handicap golfers to play from the golds if they meet the rule of 83–age 65 or older, and age plus white-tee course handicap of 83 or more.

There may be a few players who formerly met the rule of 83 criterion but now will not, due to the reduced handicaps under the World Handicap System. But I think those players who were borderline-qualified before should be able to handle the new white/gold combo tees. So for now, 83 it is.

Men’s Mixer – Wednesday, January 15th, 2020

Hola El Tigre Golfers,

The game for this Wednesday will be the red/white/blue four person team game. Each team will count one net score for all red pins, two net scores for all white pins and three net scores for all blue pins. Please record all net and gross scores for all team players on all holes and provide a team summary score for the front nine, the back nine and the 18 hole total score. Lastly, remember to circle any gross deuces “2’s”, repair all divots and rake out any footprints from any bunkers that you may have entered. Good luck to all golfers!

This Monday, we will play Chase the Ace, a fast-paced, super-easy and fun game!  Below is a description.  Buy-in will be only 20 pesos, you will get 4 chips to use as your “lives.”  Come on out and join the fun 🙂
PS:  Pass this on – the more the merrier!

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!
