The F.P.G.A. golf contests present a variety of competitions including Closest to Pin (CTP), Gross Skins, Net Skins, and Hole in One (HIO), with all entries receiving a 100% cash payout. Players can choose to enter the CTP, Gross Skins, and Net Skins for $5 each, while the Hole in One entry is $1, accompanied by a mandatory Mulligan (M&M) purchase for $2, which allows participants to retry a Tee shot on one hole (excluding Par 3 Contest holes). Participation in the optional contests is voluntary, but the M&M is required for all players.
" EXPLANATION AND COST OF F.P.G.A. CONTESTS "
100% CASH PAYOUT ON ALL CONTESTS
C T P - Closest to Pin $5.00
In the tournament, two Closest to the Pin (C T P) holes will be designated and announced before play begins, with details marked on the scorecards. If a single player wins both holes, they will receive the entire pot; however, if there are two winners, one for each hole, then the pot will be evenly split between the two C T P winners.

SKINS CONTESTS
Gross Skins $5.00 / NET Skins $5.00
The combination of gross and net skins with carryover creates a balanced and thrilling format for a skins game, as it allows players of differing abilities to compete fairly—gross skins reward skill without handicaps, while net skins provide inclusivity through the use of handicaps. The carryover feature heightens the tension and stakes by rolling over tied skins to subsequent holes, ensuring that every player remains engaged and has the opportunity to participate in the excitement regardless of their proficiency. This format effectively blends competition and camaraderie, fostering an enjoyable environment for all.
H I O - Hole in One $1.00
A Hole-in-One (HIO) is a prestigious moment in golf, where a player skillfully sinks the ball into the hole with a single stroke. This remarkable achievement demands precision and skill, making it a highlight of any game; however, the odds of scoring an ace vary by course and hole. In tournaments, the prize pool, or POT, typically increases with each entry, adding further excitement to the challenge and rewarding players for exceptional performance.
