Skins Game

Skins game 2024-2025

The new Skins game season is about to begin. The first game will take place on November 1st, 2024. Season will end on April 28th, 2025. These events are already scheduled on the website.

The new registration procedure is in effect (see post) and players can register from October 4th at 5:00PM for the November 1st event. Registration for the next event on November 4th game will be active from October 7th at 5:00PM. And for the whole season, registration will be open 4 weeks (28 days) in advance at 5:00PM. As usual, registration will close at 3:00PM the day before each event.

The maximum number of players for Skins is still 24 per event. A waiting list will be set up shortly implemented on the website. When the maximum number of players is reached, other players will be able to join the waiting list. Further details will come in next days.

Brad St-Pierre has agreed to gradually take over management of the Skins league during the season. Thank you Brad, for taking over. As for me, I will help Brad and continue managing leagues’ website.

Have a great season!

2024 Gringo Classic

Hola Fellow Golfers.

The Gringo Classic registration is coming to a close and we currently have 87 players registered on the website, however only 51 have paid there fee at the golf shop.

We have been told by management that we cannot exceed 80 players total so the list will be capped at the first 80 paid and the balance of players will be put on a wait list.

Please make sure you either go down or call the golf shop and pay the 600 pesos to insure your spot.

Gimme putt rule

Over the past few weeks, there has been some controversy and discussion about gimme putts.
Until now, gimme putts are allowed if putt length is within the leather grip.
On Monday after the game, we had a discussion about gimme putts. We have examined some proposals for a new rule.
After discussion we decide to adopt a new rule for gimme.

All putts for a score counting on the card must be holed.
If a putt could possibly count for a skins or improve team score, it must be done.


We are all aware that we are team-mates in the foursome, but the honesty and fairness for all must prevail.
It is useful to remember that in the PGA and RCGA rules, there is no gimme.
We are not the only group having discussion over gimme. Take a look at this article from PGA website.
