All is well with the new app, except my first round does not show what hole I start on; round 2 & 3 are fine. Please let me know what may be wrong with Flights 19 & 20 round one hole starts, thanks.

Other than that, as always, WA does a great job every year.

[David Rollins]

Hey Bob, thanks for taking care of this. I have done it a couple of times and it can be fun but glad not to do it this year.

On the two tie all tie rule, I think Scott may have been in one of my groups last year. The skins guy would split the skin for two on a hole and three on a hole would eliminate it from the pool. Either way is fine with me, see ya Monday.

No luck with uninstall and reinstall with Android either; just tried.

FROM FLIGHT 33 – 34

To all, we are getting close. My name is David Baker, and I have been running skin games since I first played in 1997. And just a point of information I have never won a skin but I keep trying. It has been suggested that we run a Par 3 game which I will be glad to do if there is enough interest. Monday through Wednesday $20 a day and Thur a super skin day $40 for a total of $100 to be paid Monday morning. It is much easier to administer that way. I will pay at the end of the round or if you need to leave you will be paid the following day. I have even made arrangements to pay at the CC if possible. I am staying at Legends. My cell number is 757.580.6314. I look forward to seeing old friends and making new ones. Let me know if you have any questions.

FLIGHT 5 – 6 TIANO/DELANEY
Ken posted this…

Now that most of us know which flights we are in, I will go ahead and lay out the skins game for Flights 5 & 6.
The courses are: Oyster Bay, Willbrook, Prestwick & Burning Ridge

The cost for the week will be $100 (Monday-$20 Tues-$20 Wed-$20 & Thur-$40). You can pay in advance on Monday morning or as you go (daily). If for whatever reason there is a “carryover”, and you chose NOT to get in the day before, it will cost you for both days. The reason I say this is because last year, we lost Monday to rain and if you didn’t pay $20 on Mon, you had to pay $40 on Tues (obvious, but needs to be stated).

In case this is your first WA, we are only counting “gross” scores of “birdies or better” (NO PARS and no strokes). Your handicap has nothing to do with this format.

After the round, we will be set up in the clubhouse (As close to the bar as possible :-). The most important thing you should do first, is verify your score with your playing partners and SIGN THE OFFICIAL CARD. Now, If you have a birdie, eagle or better, BEFORE you turn your official card into the Head Pro, please stop by our table and check to see if your birdie, eagle, etc is good enough to win a skin. We will NOT accept a score written on the course card. ONLY YOUR OFFICIAL CARD. We also will not accept someone walking up to the table and saying “I birdied hole 14″ (not good enough).

We will only verify off of your WA scorecard. This is the safest way to ensure no one cheats (I hate to mention it but there are horror stories of this in the past).

Last year we paid out 5 skins on Tues for $568 each (carried over from Mon), 5 skins on Wed for $300ea and Thursday 2 skins held up for ~$1360ea. Good luck to everyone and all we need now is great weather.

Great Question for Flight 14 – 15

Dan, How do you pay out the skins? I’ve seen it where you have to win the hole outright. I’ve also seen where skin is paid (split) if two tie, but if three tie then no skin. Also, if no skins are paid on day one, will the buy-in for day two be $40 if that person did not participate day one and so on for each day.

Just glad you are taking the oar on this. Tough job and I applaud you for doing it. Thank you. If you are looking for a vote on the skin payout, I like the two tie split approach, but will participate in full from day one regardless of the decision.

[David Rollins]

Alan,

So nice to hear back from you. I did not want to over run the skins game, but I think it’s a no brainer.

Flights 22 & 23 – THE TOURNAMENT within the TOURNAMENT. A 54 Hole cumulative net score (WA rounds 1, 2, & 3 M,T,W) as adjusted by the WA Tournament Committee and posted at the CC, Website, or App. Paid out Thursday morning before play starts (pending final scores available before tee time).

Fee is $ 20 and is payable before play starts on Monday morning. We will yield all final scores to the WA committee and abide by their decisions as to what gets posted. We will pay out 100% of the prize pool to 20% of the partcipants. That means if all 98 golfers participate we will pay out 20 places. This makes it acheivable by almost any of us, but you got a 20% chance to get your fee back and a drink or two on the last day.

If we have 60 Golfers the prize pool would be 1200 and distributed as follows:
1st 480
2nd 240
3rd 110
4th 70
5th 55
6th 50
7th 45
8th 40
9th 35
10th 30
11th 25
12th 20
