  I can't make it work, tried again.

   

  I guess it's WGT's way of looking out for me and saving my credits:)

  You have to start by selecting skins.  Then change game mode to match play and set to a challenge game.  Then change game mode back to skins again.

  Will may have found a less fiddly way to do it but that works for me.

  Edit: There is a quicker way, miss stage 1 and just select challenge match play from the start, then change mode to skins.

  Ahhhh...I think it was working, for some reason "challenge" turning grey confused me.

  That's what I get for coming to WGT without a beer.

  That gives me an idea, you could play skins just for fun and every skin lost requires you to drink a bottle of beer.   No way to check it was actually being done but I guess ding frequency after a few holes would be a good indicator.

  I tried the back way in and it took me to a regular skins game. No credit match.

  you need to set it up via matchplay challenge....then switch mode and select skins......invite some friends....then select skins amount and play.

  works great.

  Got to play a couple last night. I guess I should have declined the invite. Damn good fun though.
