Which tee box

There has been a lot of discussion about who can play which tee box during LEAGUE play.
There are no specific rules in golf about this that I am aware of.
The long ago local rule for playing from the gold tees was set at age 65+HC= 83.

A funny thing happened while we were trying to sort this out. Some of us got older.

el tigre has modified the score cards now to allow for a combination of GOLD/RED tees.

I think this is a great idea and some players have been taking advantage of this combination, and good on them for doing this.

The league administrators have discussed this situation and have decided that as the rule of 83 was set for the Gold tees for league play, to play the GOLD/ RED combo you are age 75 and have a handicap no lower than 15.
This rule would apply to league play only!

As always, your comments are welcome.

Skins March 16

Gentlemen

Since we have been using two man teams recently, having a threesome creates a bit of a problem. We have had an open discussion about this , and decided that a random draw from inside the threesome would make up the second team. This would be done before the start of play.
To simplify the selection here is my proposal.
The first team would be the first two names from the computer generated draw down. That is cart partners as before.
The second team would be the cart drivers make up the second team.
I see this as being a consistent way of selecting the second team and might save some confusion with this arrangement.

The drivers will be regarded as a separate team and payout will be handled as such.

I am all for trying to keep things simple. If you have any comments about this suggestion, please forward them to me ASAP.

Next item.

Unfortunately I have to return to Canada early this year and have asked George Erhart to be the go to guy in my absence. I respect George as being a very common sense guy and and I believe he has the respect of his peers and will do a great job.

if you have ANY concerns regarding the Skins league, please send them to me and I will work with George to deal with them.
Monday will be my last Skins day as I leave on March 19th.

I have appreciated the input that I have received from the Skins roster and some outside options as well.

We have the privilege of securing 48 tee times each week. I will make every effort to make sure that we can keep those times.

You maybe play with the same people each time, but not having to try and find a tee time for two, three or four players on a regular basis can be a time consuming task.
Playing in a league is an easy way to schedule your (busy) time here in paradise. Take advantage of it.

Done preaching. Get out and play.

Play well or have fun. Do both if you can.

Men’s Mixer – Wednesday, March 4th, 2026

Hola El Tigre Golfers,

This Wednesday will be playing a four-person team game where all teams will need to count three best ball net scores for all Par 5 holes, two best ball net scores for all Par 4 holes and only one best ball net score on all Par 3 holes. Please provide both gross and net scores for all players for your team along with team summary scores for the front 9, the back 9 and the overall 18-hole score. Also, please enter your scores in the Golf Genius software for yourself and your golf partner on the screen for each hole. In addition to keeping your scores on-line, Golf Genius will allow you to view the live leaderboard online anytime during the round to see how well your team is doing compared to the rest of the field.

It is highly recommended that all players arrive no later than 8:30 AM in order to complete their practice warm up and be ready to tee off by 8:50 AM.

Remember to circle any player in your group that had a natural birdie (deuce) on any of the Par 3 holes.

Lastly, please remember to rake out any bunkers you may have entered and repair all divots.

Good luck to all golfers!

2026 Gringo Classic

Hello fellow golfers

As most of you are aware due to the circumstances this past week we were forced to cancel the original dates for the Gringo Classic and have moved the new dates to March 10-11, 2026.

This years event was full with 80 players, however because of the change of dates there were a few players that can no longer make the dates work and have had to withdraw, therefore leaving now some open spots available.

If you are still interested in playing and did not have your name on our waiting list please contact either myself at alanbayliss@gmail.com or Ross McDonald at rossco500@gmail.com and register for the event.
