Format of play:
Two-Person Best-Ball Team Play
9-holes each week.
Teams will be in one of two divisions- Irish Division or the Hills Division
The season will be divided into two halfs.
There will be a winning team from each divsion each half. The top-2 teams in each division/each half will make it into the playoffs. Teams that make the playoffs will be seeded according to their total combined points for both halfs. In the case that a 2nd place team has more points than a team that won their division either half, the winning team will be seeded ahead of the 2nd place team.
The winning teams in each division will be a one seed in the playoffs at the end of the season.
Each team will play one another once during the regular season.
Rules for play:
Unless otherwise stated by the PGA Professionals here's how we'll play.
- Play the ball DOWN in the rough, bunkers, etc.
- You may play the ball UP in your own fairway.
Rules for no-shows:
If your opposing team doesn't show up, and hasn't contacted your team about playing off - You and your partner will play against par and accumulate points. No-show's will receive ZERO points.
All rounds MUST be played during league time, or if special arrangements are made with your opponents prior to play then you can playoff.
Scoring:
This is a handicap league. We will play off the lowest handicap- If your handicap is a 7 and your opponents handicap is an 8 then their handicap would be a (1) and yours would be a (0).
The league is set up to be simple, fun, and competitive. We are happy to explain anything in detail, however for the sake of simplicity all you need to do is put in your scores and the software will do all the heavy lifting.
Live scoring will be the preferred method of score entry. Only one player from each group is required to keep score.
Handicap Calculations:
There are several new players in our league this year! This is fantastic. To protect the integrity of play we have set players without established handicaps at 7.5.
All other handicaps have carried over from 2014.
Handicaps will be set at 75% of total index.
Handicaps will remain the same for the first 3 weeks of the season. Then handicaps will change each week.
