New for Little John Golf League

Skins Game is now a GROSS and NET Skins game

Beginning with the 2008-2009 Evergreen Point event, November 9 2008, the Skins Game will become a combination GROSS and NET Skins game. Your entry fee into the Skins Game will now enter you into both a Gross and a Net skins competition. To even out the size of the 2 pots, we have increased the Skins game entry fee from $15 to $16. When you enter, $8 of your money will be in the Gross game and $8 will be in the Net game.

When we sent out the questionnaire about splitting the Skins into Gross and Net, we got positive feedback. What your officers wanted to do by suggesting this split game is to increase the participation in the Skins game and to provide more chances to win. We feel this “change” in the Skins game will do just that.

Our research into last years events results reflected that we definitely should have more winners. Players now have a chance to win in the Gross game, the Net game, and our research revealed that some lucky players might win a skin in both.

Please be aware, a player cannot enter only the Gross game or only the Net game. We feel this would defeat getting more participation. Instead, we would only get different players participating and quite honestly fewer players in the competition.

So, if you have not been a Skins game participant…you might want to consider it now that we are making this change.
