American School Tournament

NOTE: You probably already received an email about this tournament, but I’m posting it here so that players looking for a team can leave a comment.

Andy asked me to post the following notice:

The American school is doing a golf tournament this Saturday out at Punta Mita. If anyone wants to play it’s $900.00 usd per foursome, breakfast and lunch included. Let me know if anyone wants to enter a team. It’s a great value and the course is in great shape. If you ever wanted to play Four Seasons Punta Mita, this is a very cheap way to do it . Regular rate is over $300.00, with  no breakfast or lunch . Oh and tons of prizes.

Men’s Mixer – Wednesday, January 9th, 2019

Welcome all El Tigre golfers,

The game for this Wednesday, January 9th will be a four person Team Stableford competition. As a reminder, Team Stableford is a point system format with each player gaining points for their net score on each hole. Net eagles 5 points, net birdies 3 points, net pars 2 points and net bogeys 1 point. The team with the most points accumulated at the completion of 18 holes will be your winner.

 

Please record all gross/net scores on your scorecard for all team players. Also, for each hole include a team total based on the point system described above. Remember to also circle any gross deuces on your card for any player that recorded a gross birdie on any of the par 3’s or a gross eagle on any of the par 4’s.  Lastly, please remember to repair divot holes, ball marks and smooth any footprints in bunkers.

 

Good luck to everyone. Also, many thanks to our El Capitan for helping me out and running things while I have been tied up with family issues and making frequent trips to Texas. Myles’s help is greatly appreciated.

 

I wish everyone a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!

Markus
