New Foursomes for Skins

As you may have seen on your golf calendar, almost all foursomes for Skins Games are full.
Today, Brad St-Pierre and Gérard Grégoire as league managers had a meeting with Steve Johnson, general manager of El Tigre Golf.
Steve agreed to reserve tee times for a maximum of six (6) foursomes beginning next Friday.

As usual, we must be ready to start our game on time and frequently before our tee time. Be ready to go 15 minutes before scheduled tee time. Pace of play was also important to obtain and maintain this number of players. Always be ready for your turn.

We ask you to keep your golf calendar up to date, signing in before 3:00 PM the day before the game.
It is also important, even more important, to sign out as soon as possible when you signed in and you kow you cannot play. Other players may be waiting for your place to play Skins.

Summer League 2023

Skins game schedule is almost over. But Summer League is coming.
Schedule begins on May 1st and ends November 3rd.
Events are on each Monday and Friday at 11:00 AM.
Here is how to put this league in our calendar and then only check or uncheck events for playing or not.

Go to “My Clendar”.

Click on “Leagues” tab.

Check “Summer League”.

Click on “Save my leagues” at the bottom of the screen.

Going back in “My Calendar” tab at top, you will see Summer League events on the calendar.

Managing your calendar

As you all may know, tee times availability is very limited at this time of the year.
For many days before Friday, all 24 spots for Friday’s Skins Game were reserved.
On Thursday, 3 players cancelled and on Friday three others cancelled.
Result: there were 6 unused spots. 6 more players could have played.
It would be nice if every player could manage his calendar and cancel as early as possible.
Cancelling late or worse not canceling before game’s eve prevents players from playing.
Please manage your golf calendar responsibly.
