Frequently Asked Questions

  • What night is league night?
    • League night is Tuesday with official tee-times from 3:30 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. There are no guaranteed tee-times, you can sign up each week for a tee-time the following week. If you are a single or two-some, chances are you can just come on out and jump in to fill out another group.

  • When does the league start and how long does it run each year?
    • The league starts in late April and currently runs for 18 weeks into early September. See the latest schedule here.

  • How much does the league cost?
    • The current yearly league fee is $60 which includes prize money and the GHIN handicap service. In addition, you are responsible for green fees each week. Carts are optional.

  • How is the prize money distributed?
    • Each league week there are $2 prizes for low net score, low gross score, high gross score, least putts, most putts, most pars, most bogies, most double bogies and most greens in regulation. In addition, each birdie receives $2, each eagle receives $10 and each hole-in-one receives $100.

  • How do I sign up for the league?
    • In mid-March we send out our sign up form and newsletter. The sign up form will also be available here on the website. Please contact any of the board members if you are interested in joining the league and they will make sure to get you on the mailing list and will answer any questions you may have. New members are always welcome!

  • Do you take online sign ups?
    • Not at this time. However, the sign up form will be available for download here on the website. You can then print it, fill it out and send it in.

  • Is this a 9 hole or 18 hole league?
    • This is a 9 hole league, however, both the front and back sides are utilized each week and your team alternates between each side weekly. If you are an alternate you can play either side. For your score to count you are required to play with at least one other league member.

  • How are league handicaps calculated?
    • Handicaps are based on 90% of your last three (nine hole league) scores, using the lowest two. New player handicaps are established after the first nine hole score. The USGA Equitable Stroke Control system is also used: 
    		9-hole League Handicap      Limitation on any Hole
		4 or less                             Double Bogey
		5 - 9                                            7
		10 - 14                                          8
		15 - 19                                          9
		20 or more                                      10

  • What if I don't have enough members to form a team or don't want to commit to a team?
    • There is no requirement to be part of a team to play in the league. All the pin events, scoring prizes, etc... are distributed on an individual basis. If you do not want to commit to a team you are free to play as an alternate and are eligible for all prizes and pin events each week. The team concept is more for fun than anything. There is a "draft" each Spring in mid-April and if you want to guarantee all your guys are on the same team you could volunteer to be a captain, or talk to someone needing new guys and they may just pick you up as a group. Even if you end up on a different team than your buddy, you can play together each week if you want. Our team scoring is based on attendance and net scoring, not any sort of head-to-head schedule. The winning team members receive a plaque at the end of the year, but no prize money, that is all given away on an individual basis.

  • How does the team scoring work?
    •  · Two divisions - 8 teams per division.
     · 12 players per team.
     · On league night, teams play against all other teams in the league.
     · The low 7 net scores per team are used.
     · Teams get 3 points for every team they beat and 1 point for a tie.
     · Teams get 1 point per player (show up points).
     · Maximum points per team on league night is 57. (45 for beating the other 15 teams + 12 player show up points)
     · Subs do not count for player show up points.
     · The 2 division winners from the 1st half of the season and the 2 division winners from the 2nd half of the season play each other on Playoff night for the league championship.
     · The same team can not win their division both halves of the season.

  • I see something called "Steak Night" on the schedule, what is that?
    • We usually have 5 or more steak nights during the year. Currently the steak dinners cost $14 and include an 8 oz. steak, 2 sides and 2 drinks. We grill the steaks ourselves and you sign up and pay the week prior so the course knows how many to plan for.

  • How does the Match Play tournament work?
    • You can enter the league match play tournament by including the $10 entry fee on your sign up form or by paying separately at the Spring Meeting. The Match Play Committee pairs the first matches at random, after that it is up to the individual players to arrange their own matches. Your WGA handicap at the time of the match is used. See the latest newsletter for more information.
