Our League Info
The league was established well over 30 years ago. Our league has been as small as 12 golfers and as many as 22. Our league is handicapped at 80% and we do Match Play. So if you have 1 bad hole you are not out of the match. Our league is point driven. Show up...get 1 point. Win your match win 3 points, Tie your match win 2 points, beat your match by 5 holes or more get a bonus point. Top 4 point getters play in the league championship 1 vs 4 and 2 vs 3. Money pays top 4 spots. We also have a Willy Wonka Golden Ticket event that gives every golfer a "ticket" when you show up to play. After the last round of golf on the last regular match day of golf each player is given an individual ticket for each time they showed up. We select a ticket from all tickets given out and the holder of that ticket wins the Willy Wonka Golden Ticket! With that ticket, if you ARE NOT in the top 4 point getters you get to challenge the 4th place point holder for his spot in the Championship Rounds. (It's like a wild card spot). If you do not finish in the top 4 point getters don't worry you are entered into the losers bracket with all other golfers out of the top 4 and get to compete for money prizes as well that sometimes is more money than the League Champion 1st place! But...no bragging rights.
Our League Rules
Out of Bounds is a stroke and distance penalty! There are only 4 holes that have out-of-bounds with white markers. #13 if you go past the top of the hill behind the green. #14 & #15 holes, anything to the top of the hill on the left of the fairways is out of bounds. #16 past the cut grass behind the green is also out of bounds.
All other balls that leave the course are played where they lie or take a penalty stroke and place anywhere on the course in the line of flight from the club to its final resting place.
1. If the ball is within the golfer's shoe length, you can pick up with a "Gimmie" otherwise, you have to putt it out. No one can tell you to pick it up
2. We play winter rules. You can move the ball with the club head ONLY, no more than 12" from where it rests and not to alleviate an obstruction.
3. Every stroke is counted if you are attempting to strike the ball, even if you swing and miss.
4. Every time the putter touches the ball on the green, it counts as a stroke.
5. Rainouts will not be replayed or made up IF every match is not completed that day, no matches will count.
6. Senior Tees can only be used by golfers 67 and older
7. Hitting another golfer's golf ball is a 2 stroke penalty
8. If your ball carries a water hazard and hits land across the water, you can drop on that side of the water even if the ball falls back into the water
9. Dues are $50. If dues are not paid in full after the third week, you cannot register a win.
10. All matches MUST ride in the same cart
11. Double par is the highest score you can put on your card. HOWEVER, you must keep track and play out every hole because of match play
12. Any golf ball that enters a sand trap and the sand trap condition is bad, FREE lift on the furthest side of the trap away from the pin.
13. IF YOUR SCORE CARD DOES NOT HAVE A TOTAL SCORE AND DOES NOT DENOTE THE MATCH WINNER, NEITHER GOLFER GETS CREDIT FOR A WIN OR TIE. CHECK YOUR SCOREKEEPER'S CARD!!
14. Golfers who do not have a match that day can "Grudge" another golfer who does not have a match. You can only "Grudge" another golfer 1 time
15. Any golfer who does not have a match and is a single golfer MUST play against their average to secure a win or tie.
16. Matches tied DURING PALYOFF rounds: the lowest score on the easiest handicap hole wins that hole and onto the next easiest handicap hole until someone wins if the scores are still tied (using your handicap).
17. You will start next year with this years ending average
18. If a golfer, who finishes in the top 4, cannot compete in the championship rounds, the next golfer in line will fill that spot. If the lottery winner is not present the day of the drawing, a second number WILL NOT be drawn and the top 4 will compete WITHOUT a wild card match!
