Update: Friday Afternoon Golf



"THAT'LL BE $20....
AND I CAN'T MAKE CHANGE."
  Posted on behalf of the Golf Shop staff.

Las Colinas golf shop's Friday afternoon golf game has been a great success. Thank you to all the players, low and higher handicaps, who have come out to participate in the game.

During the winter months, we will be continuing the golf game (weather permitting) and the formats will vary. This Friday the weather forecast shows a high temperature of 69 degrees. Yes, there will be a Friday afternoon golf game with a 12:45pm SHOTGUN. Please be on the putting green no later than 12:30pm to establish the teams.

The format this week will be 4 man teams, 2 best ball net MONEY BALL (80% handicaps). Money ball? Money Ball (aka Lone Ranger, Yellow Ball) is a game for 4-person teams that puts the onus on one player per hole to come through for t! he team.

In this game, two scores per hole are added together for the team score. Here's the catch: One of those two scores must be from the player with the money ball. So on each hole, the team score will be the score of the player with the money ball, plus the lowest score of the other three players on the team. The team will be responsible for determining the order of the money ball players. For example, Player A uses it on the first hole, B on the second, C on the third, D on the fourth, then back to A on the fifth and so on.

The game is open to all skill levels (LOW, MID AND HIGH) and there will be a $20 cash entry fee that goes toward the game. The breakdown of the money will be as follows: $5 for 1st 6 holes, $5 for 2nd 6 holes and $5 for 3rd 6 holes and $5 for skins. If you wish to play, please call the golf shop or email Eric at eric.hunt@ourclub.com.

We hope you will join us this Friday afternoon for some competitive and a fun round of golf.
