For those who might not understand how the Skins contests work, here are some examples of skin values depending on how many players enter the skin contests. This goes for Net and gross. Two separate contests.

  • If multiple players tie for the lowest score on a hole, no skin is awarded per the phrase (two tie, all tie).

  • That skin’s money rolls over to the next hole

  • This creates a bigger payout when someone eventually wins outright

Example (36 players = $180 pot)

Base calculation:


$180 ÷ 18 holes = $10 per skin

If every hole had a clear winner:

  • Hole 1 winner = $10

  • Hole 2 winner = $10

  • etc.

But let’s say:

  • Hole 1 = tie → no winner → $10 carries over

  • Hole 2 = tie → no winner → another $10 carries over

  • Hole 3 = one clear winner

Now Hole 3 is worth:


$10 + $10 + $10 = $30

So that player wins $30 for one skin.

Another example:


If 5 holes in a row tie, then the next outright winner gets:

6 skins × $10 = $60

So the note simply means:

Fewer winning holes = bigger payouts per winning skin.


For those who might not understand how the CLOSEST TO PIN contests work, here are some examples—CLOSEST TO PIN Contest. If using 2 designated Par 3 holes with a $5.00 entry per player, here’s how it works:

Closest to the Pin (2 Par-3 Holes)

Each player who enters pays $5.00 into the prize pool.

Example prize pools:

  • 20 players = $100

  • 24 players = $120

  • 28 players = $140

  • 32 players = $160

  • 36 players = $180

  • 40 players = $200

Option 1 – Split Between 2 Holes

The prize pool is divided evenly between the two Par 3 contests.

Examples:

  • 20 players = $50 per hole

  • 24 players = $60 per hole

  • 28 players = $70 per hole

  • 32 players = $80 per hole

  • 36 players = $90 per hole

  • 40 players = $100 per hole

Each designated Par 3 has its own winner.
