A $10 gross/net skins game will be run weekly by the Men’s Club committee. All weekly formats will be paid out in shop credit and all skins will be paid out in cash.

A format schedule will be posted in the team app in addition to being posted in both the Founders and Victory Course golf shops. Formats are subject to change based off number of players. If the weekly event is a team game all participants will be match with a blind draw, random pairings ensures the fairest option. If there is an odd number of players that week one of the VGC Golf Professionals may attempt to fill in the empty spot or if the format permits there may be a blind draw.

The Local desert rule is in effect Desert Rule – under the penalty of 2 shots you may drop the ball within 2 club lengths of edge of the fairway as long as the point in the fairway you use to take two club lengths is the same distance from the pin as the point where the ball went into the desert. You can drop anywhere between those two points and as far back as you want. You just can’t go closer to the hole. (This only applies to balls lost, not balls that are found and unplayable)

• All participants may choose the tees the play from and all participants must choose a tee upon sign up. (All handicaps are adjusted based on the tee selected)
• Each weekly event’s payouts will vary based on the amount of people signed up each week. All participants will have the opportunity to win shop credit.Scoring: Scoring for each week’s competition will be done by the golf shop staff and the skins game will be scored by the Men’s Club committee. Upon finishing the round, we ask that you return the event scorecard to the golf professional who will have a reserved table in the restaurant. We encourage all participants to stick around after their round for lunch, and receive the results. For those of you not choosing to stay, results will be emailed out by the end of the day.
