The Swingin' Set Ladies Golf League

 

The Swingin’ Set is a weekly ladies golf league that plays at the Village Links of Glen Ellyn on Tuesdays, May through September. The 9-hole division tees off from 7:00-8:30 a.m. and the 18-hole division tees off from 7:00-8:15 a.m. Fees assessed upon approval of your application include the annual membership dues of $25.00 and a handicap fee of $40.00.

 

The Swingin’ Set Golf League has a limit of 80 members for the 9-hole division and 65 members for the 18-hole division. Prospective new members are prioritized in the following manner: returning members, then those who live within the Glen Ellyn Corporate limits, then nonresidents.

 

Who is eligible?

 

New members will be accepted on a provisional basis for the season if a handicap within the required limit is demonstrated.

 

  • 9-hole division = handicap of 36 or less (~average score of 72 or lower)
  • 18-hole division = handicap of 40 or less (~average score of 112 or lower)

 

How do I satisfy the handicap requirement?

 

The new member will provide Membership Chairperson with a Chicago District Golf Association (CDGA) handicap card or a USGA equivalent.

 

What if I do not yet have a handicap?

 

Submit 54 holes-worth (or more) of attested score cards with your application. The Village Links of Glen Ellyn will issue the player a CDGA Handicap based on those scores.

 

As a new League player, can I participate in each week’s event and receive the corresponding points?

 

Yes - every League player is encouraged to play every week and will receive participation points. Before you become eligible for event points, however:

 

  • New member must have a handicap (setting the Village Links as your Home Course is strongly preferred).
  • Handicap must reflect 10 attested scores, of which a minimum of 5 scores are from the Village Links.
  • Any round played (league or non-league) at the Village Links counts towards the scores needed to be eligible for league event points.
