This game is structured exactly like our main game, as described above (skins and low net, 85% handicaps).

First time buy-in is $20, plus $2 for each week that the pot has carried over. The pot carries over until someone makes a natural eagle (no handicaps).

The skins game pays for both gross skins (not handicapped) and net skins (85% handicaps).
