Yeah i usually pick up after a double, and you could play a month with me and not see one or 4 or 5 in a day. Weird. This skins game is ball down regardless, it can get painful, especially for someone who likes to pick up at double and move on. I think having a stop is key, especially for beginners. Just pick up and go to the next. Max is, i think, 7 on any hole for 10 to 20 handicaps anyways. It would make the game so much quicker. We played with this guy who was marking every putt, prarice swings, etc and was shooting 8s on every hole. It drove my buddy and i insane.
So played the skins game again and talk about picking up....i was putting for birdie 4 on a par 5 and took an 8. I missed 2 three inchers. Dont ask me how, but I think i could do it again. Played poorly but was hoping to just make birdies score be damned. Made 3 of them and one of them was good for the only gross net skin in first flight. All the studs who shot 73 and below canceled everything else out leaving my lone bird on 10 as money. 118 to be exact. This game pays 3 flights and proxies so that was huge for this game. Pretty cool, got whooped by the field, played poorly, and left with the pot! Hope for more of this luck.
