   The sum of each player's net score equals team net score.

   Twice par is maximum score. To speed play, individuals should pick up after reaching twice par.

Substitutes and No-Shows

   Substitutes are allowed during regular season play. Team points earned go to the team; individual points earned go to the substitute.  (If both team members are not present for a team tournament, it will be an automatic forfeit for the tournament, but scores will still count for regular season play)

   When only one team member shows for play, a ‘ghost’ substitute will be used. ‘Ghost’ substitutes have a handicap of zero and score bogeys on the first 5 handicap holes. (Suggest you find a sub. Sub list will be posted on bulletin board.)  You are responsible for finding your own sub.

Entry Fee

$30 per individual payable 1st day of play.  Fee includes league tournaments, season end awards and two mixed league scrambles.  Fee does not include September Challenge whose entry fee is $10 per player, $20 per team).

New league players

Must submit five 9-hole scores to get a handicap before the season starts (scorecards from previous season okay). For those players submitting fewer than five scores, a score of 35 for up to five rounds may be placed in the handicap calculator.
