About 2-3 weeks before each skins game an email goes to the Rancho Skins Google Group with the game details. If you want to receive these emails go to Google Groups and ask to be added to the Rancho Skins group. Or email skins@ranchoskins.com and ask to be added.

RULES OF THE SKINS GAME:
 

• This game is open to all Full Members of Rancho Park Golf Club. Non-RPGC members can enter the skins game but will play to 1/2 of their Current Index and will not be eligible for the Ace Pot.
• For most events, the buy-in is $36. $30 goes into skins. $5 goes into Low Net game. $1 goes into the Ace Pot.
• Skins game buy-ins and pay-outs are through Venmo and pay-outs are usually the same day as the event.
• Net skins game only. All players get strokes per their course handicap. Handicaps are limited to 18 strokes. Course handicap is determined by the player's Current Index or Club Index (whichever is lower).
• The skins pot is divided by the number of skins won. For example, if there's $500 in the pot and five skins are won, each skin winner receives $100.
• Participants play to Current Index or Club Index, whichever is lower.
• No gimmies - PUTT IT OUT. Play provisional from the tee or you can take a drop in accordance with this diagram for a two-stroke penalty. No going back to hit.
• Low Net prize: 12 players or less the winner takes the entire pot. Over 12 players Low Net pot is split 70/30.
• With 20+ players we usually have a team game. If you are a no show  or a late withdrawal from the skins game and we can't replace you there will be a $30 no show fee assessed to cover the guys on your team who only have 3 players on their team.
• If you withdraw less than 14 days prior to the first tee time there will be no refund unless we can get a replacement for you. If we find a replacement you will be refunded minus a $10 withdrawal fee which will go into the Low Net pool for that event.
• Players 65 and older can play from shorter tees (the next tee box in front of the assigned tee box for the event). Must declare for shorter tees for ALL skins games, not selectively.
• Scores must be entered into Golf Genius in a timely manner. You should never be more than two holes behind. If your scores aren't posted electronically in a timely manner, your group may be notified that your scores won’t count in the skins game on the holes for which you didn’t submit scores in a timely manner and you will not be eligible for Low Net.

RULES OF THE ACE POT:

• $30 one time buy-in for the Ace Pot (Venmo @dermot-connell).
• Each entry into a skins game will include a $1 contribution to the Ace Pot so that the pot grows each week.
• A player must be in that day's skins game in order to qualify for the Ace Pot. If an RPGC tournament doesn't have a skins game, the Ace Pot is in play for those who already paid in.
• An eligible player wins the Ace Pot by getting a hole-in-one during an RPGC tournament skins game or an RRW skins game.
• Events become eligible when there are 12 or more spots available and when the entire email list is notified. If less than 12 spots are filled, a minimum of eight players will meet the criteria for an eligible round.
• On the day of an Ace Pot eligible event, entry to the Ace Pot is closed once any player in the first group of the event has played a shot.
• Temporary greens are not eligible for the Ace Pot
• If there are multiple hole-in-ones on the same day, we will split the Ace Pot.
• One year from the creation of the Ace Pot, the price will go up by $10 for any new entries.
