Over the last two years at the Forest Highlands Golf Club in Flagstaff, what started as impromptu Friday night golf event called the “Friday Night Skins Game” really increased in popularity. The setup of this game is teams of two players who play seven holes in an alternate shot format. It’s not unusual to see ten or twenty golfers (both men and women) on one of the putting surfaces of the Canyon golf course as they compete in this exciting and fun elimination game.
Friday night at Forest Highlands is also the weekly Happy Hour at the Canyon Clubhouse that has become so popular with families at Forest Highlands. On top of enjoying food and beverage specials and socializing with the other club members, one of the highlights of this event is to wait and see who the victors are from the “Skins Game.” For the most part, the only disinterested parties are the under-10 year old crowd, who are typically too busy playing and tumbling on the grassy areas of the Canyon driving range in front of the clubhouse while their parents enjoy the Happy Hour on the porch.
Since the “Skins Game” has become so popular, the Forest Highlands golf professionals decided to devise a new game for the members. It is going to be called the “Gross Shootout” and it will take place on the Meadow golf course on select Saturdays. I am looking forward to learning more about and watching this event. It, too, should be a lot of fun.
