    Here is a link to Skins Golf that I found to explain the difference from a regular round of golf: https://www.golfdistillery.com/definitions/play-formats/skin...

    I was curious how to get this one the easiest (and fastest) way possible. It wasn't really that difficult and I hope this guide helps many of you.

    First, tab over to "PLAY NOW" and select "Local Match."
    Next, choose your course that has an easy difficulty and one you'd enjoy playing. For me, I chose "Ocean of Memories." It was a pretty easy course, nice to play, but again, choose whichever course you'd like.

    Then, under "New Round Settings" select that option, and move over 3 options to "Skins - For 2 to 4 Golfers." Select with cn_A, (it should have a check mark) then back out with cn_B.
    Use cn_rightcn_rightto the "Play" option for a "New Round" and push cn_A. Of course, you can change the rules and conditions to your liking, but the default settings worked perfectly fine for me. I didn't want to mess with too much in case it voided the achievement.

    You must have at least one more player to do the Skins Match, so push cn_X to add a player. You'll have 3 options, so choose either "Add Guest," or "Add Ghost," or "Add Live Ghost." I chose "Add Live Ghost" and then you'll have options to choose from other players who have recently played that course and the date on which they played the course. Look at their "Score (NET)" and what I did was choose the ghost of the WORST score on the current list to give you a better chance to win the Skins Match. You only need 1 ghost. Adding 3 ghosts will add to your time on completing this achievement, so just make it one ghost and you'll only have to beat that one ghost. My ghost had a score (NET) over 80, so it wasn't so bad.

    Now, click that ghost and select "Add to Group." Click cn_RSc and you'll start the match.

    Keep an eye out on each hole how many skins each hole is worth. Most of them are worth "2" but some are worth many more! I was personally up 16-2 after 10 holes, but screwed up on one of the holes on the back 9 and scored a bogey, while the ghost scored a par, then all of a sudden, the ghost earned 8 skins and it was a 16-10 match. So, be careful with Skins scoring if you're not familiar with it. If you match the score of your opponent(s), you "halve" the hole and no one wins a "skin." But, if you score a birdie and your opponent hits a par or worse, you win the amount of skins for that hole. Again, most are worth 2, but the skins change per hole and per course. Those numbers will show for each hole that you play, while the Skins scoreboard will always show on the left per each players shot.

    Last piece of advice, make sure to pick a ghost that had a score around 80, and this achievement shouldn't be too tough. Keep an eye on the skins per hole so the ghost doesn't catch up. Make sure to make those one putt birds! Good luck!
    Achievement should pop as soon as the round is over. Make your way over to the clubhouse for a victory drink and your 15G! toast

    EsNotTheMessiahAll skins are worth 2 points. If you draw a hole then the points are carried over so the next hole is worth 4, draw two in a row and the next hole is worth 6 etc. It tells you in the top left of the screen how much the current hole is worth as you play it.
    Also worth mentioning that you can set the match to front 9 or back 9 and then you only need to play 9 holes.
