MGA LEAGUE PLAYER MANUAL
1. TEAMS
MGA Golf Leagues are comprised of three to four teams, depending on league size. Teams within the League will compete against each other on a weekly basis.
2. PLAYERS & PAIRINGS
Every player in the League is welcome to compete each week; however, they are not required to do so, provided their team is represented by at least three players per week. Players are required to indicate their weekly attendance on their league homepage. Weekly pairings will be available online, as set by the League Manager. Team captains must contact the League Manager directly with any pairing requests or attendance issues.
3. SCHEDULE
Each 9-hole MGA Golf League’s schedule is available on the league homepage. Schedules vary at each site, however, each league will run for 6 weeks of play. 5 weeks of play will be under MGA Golf League scoring, while 1 week will be designated as Free Play.
4. GREEN FEES
Upon arrival each week, players are to pay their green fee directly to the golf shop.
5. MGA GOLF LEAGUE SCORING
Each player will play his/her own ball for nine holes. Points are accumulated on each hole based on the player’s net score relative to par as follows:
Double Bogey or higher ..................... 0 points
Bogey.................................................. 1 point
Par...................................................... 2 points
Birdie................................................... 3 points
Eagle................................................... 4 points
Double Eagle or better......................... 5 points
The team score will be the aggregate of the team’s top three point winners that week.
Weekly League points will then be calculated as follows:
1st Highest Team aggregate: 9 points
2nd highest team aggregate: 7 points
3rd highest team aggregate: 5 points
4th highest team aggregate: 3 points
(In a 3-team league, weekly league points will follow a 9-5-3 distribution).
The team with the most points at the end of the season will be the League champion.
6. HANDICAPPING
All players in MGA Golf Leagues will compete equitably through the USGA Handicap System.
All players are encouraged to have at least five18-hole scores in their scoring file 24 hours in advance of week one. Any player without five scores in their scoring file will play to a Course Handicap of 0 until they have an established Handicap
Index. All players will play to their active Handicap Index each week. Per the USGA, the maximum nine-hole Handicap Index for men is 18.2, and 20.2 for women.
The MGA will post all nine-hole rounds that take place during the MGA Golf League Season. The MGA reserves the right to adjust a player’s handicap prior to or during any net competition.
7. GOLF GENIUS SOFTWARE
MGA Golf Leagues will utilize Golf Genius Software (GGS) for all administrative purposes within each League. Players are encouraged to download the free GGS app for iPhone or Android Golf prior to the season. During each week of play, one player per group is required to enter their gross score for each player, for each hole, and Golf Genius Software will calculate all Net points.
8. DISPUTES AND DECISIONS
Teams are encouraged to resolve disputes and disagreements amongst themselves. If and only when a situation cannot be resolved by the Teams themselves, please contact your League Manager directly.
