ELIGIBILITY AND HANDICAPS
Each member of your team should average a nine-hole score of 52 or less or be able to complete nine holes of golf, in a foursome, in under 2 hours and 15 minutes. Course handicaps roll over from the previous year for returning players and substitutes. New players will establish their starting course handicap after week 1.  Course handicaps will change throughout the year based on performance. A WSGA/USGA handicap is not required.

90% of individual course handicaps will be used each week in determining weekly handicaps.

The largest number of handicap strokes we will award any player is 18 for nine holes, regardless of handicap calculations.

LEAGUE FORMAT
There will be two Divisions with a maximum of 12 teams in each division. Each league night begins with a shotgun start at 5:30 pm. League will alternate play on the front and back-9’s. Men play from the white tees on the front-9 and the black tees on the back-9. Ladies play from the green tees. The format for week 1 is net stroke play for returning players. New players will be establishing a course handicap the first week. Weeks 2 through 12 will be net better ball match play versus another team in your division. Week 13-15 will be the playoffs. The top four teams from each division in the season long point standings will earn a spot to play for the league championship. These eight teams will participate in a best-ball single elimination match play. Substitutes are not allowed to play in championship matches weeks 13-15. Teams not qualifying for the playoffs will still play in a 2-person best ball and shamble format these weeks.

The year-end banquet will take place after play on August 12^th.

NO SHOWS/SUBSTITUTE PLAYERS
If a team member is unable to show for a week’s scheduled match, the remaining player has two options:

• Find a player with an average nine-hole score of less than 52. This player must be reported to the Head Golf Professional or golf professional on duty prior to 11 a.m. of the scheduled league day. If that player has a USGA Handicap (no other handicaps are allowable; including internet-based), it will be multiplied by .9 and then cut in half for nine-hole league use.  If the player does not have a handicap, he/she will play at scratch. No exceptions.
• Go without a partner and play your own ball against the other team for the match.
• Substitute players will have established a course handicap after their first time as a sub. Substitute handicaps from the previous will used for the current season. Handicap will only be used from the previous year.

It is your responsibility to make arrangements and have two players each week. Teams that do not show up will be awarded zero points for that night and 1 point will be subtracted from their season total.

If a team drops out of the league after the league season has started, all teams will receive an automatic 6 points for that match regardless of whether they have already played that team or not.
