Greg and JR began the day just after 7 at their favorite practice facility on the 16^th. Greg practiced his drive over the trees in preparation for todays competition. Chuck arrived early and our band of competitors beat the vast group of players to the first tee on time.

The first hole was won by Greg followed by JR on the 2^nd and then we were treated to a par run by none other then CW for the next 3 holes. On to the 6^th through the 8^th where our group pushed one another. So here we stand on the 9^th tee box with 4 skins to win. JR and CW hit drivers short and Greg blows one within 140 yards. CW is in the bunker and JR is off the green by 20yards while Greg is just off with a 20’ put for birdie. He wins

the hole and all 4 skins. JR ties Chuck with a 47 while Greg registers a 48. Yet in skins it is Greg the leader by 5 then Chuck with 3 and JR a single skin.

On to the back nine. 10, 11 are halfed and on the 12^th CW hits a great drive while JR and Greg are having issues. Yet both are either on the green or just off in 3. Greg makes his put to push that hole also. The next hole finds Greg in the bunker numerous times and it requires JR to make a putt to tie CW which he does not. CW records 4 skins. He is in the grove and feels it is his day. 14^th is won by Greg with a smooth par and he looks like he is in control until JR steels the next three holes. So we arrive on the 18^th where all three players execute drives and 2^nd shots. Then we find bunkers or duffed shots that provide us with a tie on the last hole.

It is the first time we have had a chip off. So all three hit from an area that CW chose. This is the way it will occur in the CW (if he is not in the chip off) they hit into the green and then putt into the hole. In this competition 2 of them made it in 2 putts. So the group went back to another area, picked by another competitor and chipped again. This time it was agreed that the closest to the hole on the chip would win. Since using the first format could have us playing all day. We agreed this would be the format we would use in the future. So at the end of it Greg won the 18^th skin to tie Chuck with 7 skins. JR would win

the match with a 94 followed by Greg 95 and CW 7 back.

Consider this change: Reduce the chip off to one Chip and one putt. We then measure the difference between the ball and the hole. This will reduce the time to one cycle. Your input is requested…..
