A clarification to the “third nine” skins game as it relates to the Chippewa Monday Scratch League: many of the 11:30 a.m. big skins game players stay to play in a third nine $50 skins game held on league nights when the format is a better ball or aggregate (since everyone plays his own ball). But players who are not participating in the league must note the following rules: the league cannot allow fivesomes; non-league players must play together in their own group(s); and non-league players can only tee off either before 4 p.m., after 6 p.m., or if the tee is completely open and no league teams are ready to play. While Chippewa welcomes the big skins game players and encourages the third nine skins game, these rules must be enforced to protect the focus of the league.
