I would like to get a Saturday morning skins game going at my course. Does anyone have any suggestions to get this going? Or any successful parameters you're using? I'm thinking we should be using handicaps.

We use our index and break it up into 2 or 3 groups depending on the size of the field. 0-9, 11-19, 20+ for indexes. I think if you don't use indexes you won't get the higher indexes to join as they won't have much of a opportunity to win. They might get lucky on a hole every now and then and make a par or a rare birdie, but they are a high index for a reason. It's usually a lower index that are against using them for skins game from my experience. Now if all the players are within a reasonable index range then I could see not using it for a skins game. But our weekly skins game ranges from a couple +4 to -25 indexes, so not using it wouldn't be fair.
The problem we have with using the handicaps is that not everyone is keeping one. For some reason they don't want to pay for the handicapping service.
Well, at my course they simply would not play then. May seem harsh, but keeping a official index there is $20 for the year. Pretty low price.
