Hola El Tigre Golfers,

Happy New Year to everyone!

This Wednesday we will be playing a four-person team game using Stableford scoring using the three best ball net scores for the team. Points are awarded as follows: Net boogie – 1 point, Net par – 2 points, Net birdie – 3 points, and Net eagle – 5 points. Please provide gross and net scores for all players on your team and also provide team summary scores for the front nine, the back nine and the total 18-hole score. Also, please circle all gross deuces (2’s) on your scorecard and remember to repair all divots and rake out any bunkers.

Per previous discussions, please note that will we be starting our weekly Wednesday Men’s League golf events promptly at 8:50 AM, so please plan on getting to the golf course early enough to allow yourself sufficient time to complete your practice/warm up by that time.

Good luck to all players!

Hola El Tigre Golfers,

Happy New Year to everyone!

This Wednesday we will be playing a four-person “reverse waltz” team game, whereby all teams will need to record three best ball net scores on hole # 1, two best ball net scores on hole # 2, and only one best ball net score on hole # 3, and this pattern (3-2-1-3-2-1-….) continues for all of the remaining holes. Please provide gross and net scores for all players on your team and also provide team summary scores for the front nine, the back nine and the total 18-hole score. Also, please circle all gross deuces (2’s) on your scorecard and remember to repair all divots and rake out any bunkers.

Don Marshall recently reported that we were able to raise a total of $33,000 pesos for our Christmas donation program for the benefit of the El Tigre golf course employees. All recipients were extremely appreciative of the kindness and generosity shown by the members, and we thank everyone very much for their contributions.

Hola El Tigre Golfers,

We are pleased to announce that we have decided to have our First Annual Men’s League golf tournament on January 17th, 2023. The starting time will be our normal 8:50 AM start time. Steve, Alan, Don and I have had several meetings to plan for this event and we have agreed to the following:

Format: This will be a four-person team event where all teams will play a scramble format on holes 1 – 9 and a two ball best ball format on holes 10 – 18. All players will play from the normal set of tees that they normally play from and during the front nine scramble format, all teams must use a minimum of two drives per player. Maximum handicap will be 36 per player. The winning team will be determined by the combined lowest scores of the two formats. All members of the winning team will receive special memorial trophies, in addition to the normal monetary payouts.

Memorial recognition and post-golf luncheon activities: The memorial event is in honor and recognition of our fellow Men’s League members that are no longer with us, including Wayne Gibson, Bob Tormey, Derek Pepper and Jack Kirkpatrick. During our post-golf luncheon gathering we will pay tribute to Wayne, Bob, Derek and Jack. We will also purchase a special memorial plaque to honor our deceased comrades. (If we have somehow forgotten to include anyone in our memorial tribute, please let us know). The post-golf luncheon will include a hamburger meal for all attendees. Refreshments will be handled in the same manner as our normal post-golf events where each participant will receive a two for one beverage offering (beer, wine, soda, or other) that they will pay for separately.

Projected Costs Per Player: The projected costs per player, including the normal $100 entry fee, hamburger meal, costs of memorial plaque and trophies for winning team members will be $600 pesos.

Please know that the Memorial golf event will be a special annual event in future years. While we are all competitive golfers, it is important to remember and recognize that the Men’s League golf members are bound by more than just their golf playing abilities. We are a close community with deep bonds and we will always remember our fellow golfers who are no longer with us.

We are just over 2 months away from the 2024 Gringo Classic.

After some recent feed back regarding the format and the pricing for the gringo the following revisions have been made.

The price for the entry fee now will be 600 pesos which will cover a few beers and the burger and tip. (No tee gifts will be provided this year). There will be a small item given to the players of the winning team.

Anyone who has already paid we will refund the money back to you at the tournament so that it doesn’t mess with the pro shop desk.

They will have a list of who paid what.

We are also going to try and host a draft night location TBD on Monday the 26th after skins.

The other thing that came up from numerous people is the format. We will try and make it as close to a Canada vs International as best that can be. The obvious challenge is not only getting enough international players but getting the handicaps as close as possible.

It will be left up to the captains to try and make the matches as close as possible.

Regards

Alan Bayliss
