  • PLAYOFF: The top 6 teams in each flight will advance to the playoffs. Playoffs start in week 10. You will be seeded by your regular season rank. In Week 10, Seeds 1 and 2 receive a BYE, #3 plays #6 and #3 plays #5. Sudden Death. Lose and your season is over. Subs are frowned upon in the playoffs!            
  • SUBS: – SUBS CANNOT BE LOWER THAN THE LOWEST HANDICAP IN YOUR FLIGHT! One original team member must be present each night to receive points. Subs must have a VALID HANDICAP CARD. Subs are not required to be a RHGA Member. The sub must be within 7 strokes of the team mate he is playing with. You are responsible for finding your own sub. All subs MUST be called into the golf shop by no later than 1pm the day of play. No exceptions!
    • ​NOTE: If you cannot find one, we can sometimes assist you. If we are unable to find a sub, the remaining team member may play the opponents by themselves.  Please call the golf shop (208)461-4295) as soon as possible with sub name & handicap so cards will be accurate at start of play each night.
  • Make Up Matches: Both teams must agree in order to do a make-up match. All make up matches MUST be played prior to their original scheduled date. All players are required to pay appropriate green fees on make-up matches. League fees only apply for your Thursday night tee time.
  • WEATHER – In the event there is a question of league play due to weather and/or course conditions the decision to “call” play will be determined by the golf shop staff and your league manager.  If play is “called” every effort will be made to make it up. Teams will not be awarded points for matches they do not play.
  • LEAGUE WEBSITE: We are using Golf Genius Software for scoring. After we get 40 full teams, you will receive an email with the league GGID number. This software will ensure that results, pairings, schedules, finding subs and communication will be better throughout our league. It is important that you and your partner give us an accurate and legible email address at the time of registration. Also, this software offers a smart phone app for those tech savvy players. Search for Golf Genius in your App Store.
