![]() ![]() The handicap system worked exactly as it was supposed to because we all maintained accurate handicaps. I very much doubt that you could draw any finite conclusion from tracking the results from our games. I was middle of the pack at about 11-12 at the time, and I both took money and donated it back in just about equal shares, and it was just as likely to come from or go to a higher capper as it was to a lower one. Of these, syndicates seems to be the oldest term, going back at. In other parts of the country, skins is also known as cats, scats, skats, or syndicates. Nobody ever dominated over the course of the season - the money tended to migrate from one pocket to another in an unforeseeable progression. The USGA Library writes: 'As a format of golf gambling, skins has been around for decades, but really only became popular after the creation of The Skins Game in the 1980s. The player with the lowest score on each hole wins the skin for that hole. We had players from 4 to 19, up to 15 players in three to four groups with the players randomly matched, all playing handicapped skins within their group, and the results seemed quite fair. A skins game is a type of golf game where each hole is worth a certain amount of money, or skin. It always worked fine for the group I used to play with. the other player is 18 strokes higher than the base player all strokes between them are allocated backwards. The metrics of this has it if the lower of two players is 9 strokes higher then base player. In a Skins game, each hole carries a predetermined value (wager) and the winner of the hole wins that amount a Skin. the second low handicap played scratch against 10 others on the 2,3 and 4 hardest holes. ![]() We played skins with 14 players the average was 38-48% on the hcp difference between two players was allocated wrong. players in the middle range get penalize at both ends hard holes against low hcps and easy holes against higher hcps. with more players this snowballs to lower hcp players mostly playing scratch against higher hcps on the hardest holes, while higher players see distinct advantages on easiest holes. Since both 14 and 21 get strokes on holes 1-7 they cancel each other and hcp advantage doesn't show up until holes 8-14. 14 gets strokes on 1-7(7 strokes), 21 gets strokes 1-14 (14 strokes). The only time the event was played by Tiger Woods and Annika Sorenstam was at. resulting in lower hcp players not giving higher hcp players strokes on the hardest holes deferring them to easier holes.Įxample: 7, 14 & 21 hcp players. The Skins Game enjoyed arguably its finest moments at Trilogy. But the differential between all others is allocated incorrectly. It was recognized by the PGA Tour but did not count towards the official money list. It took place in November or December each year after the end of the official PGA Tour season. playing off low hcp player gives all strokes between low and all other players correctly. The Skins Game was an unofficial-money event on the PGA Tour from 1983 to 2008. handicaps do not work well either full, or played off low hcp. ![]()
