BEAVER MEADOWS MEN’S LEAGUE – 2017
We will have only one “division” with teams playing at least 15 of the current 25 teams
during the course of the year. The league regular season will consist of 2 - 9 week
halves. There will be one position round at the end each half. The top 4 teams of the
respective half will qualify for the playoffs. If any of the top 4 team(s) in the first half are
also one of the top 4 teams in the second half, wildcard team(s) will be added to make
up the 8 team playoffs. The wildcard team(s) will be the one(s) with the highest season
long point not otherwise qualified. The qualifying teams will be seeded based upon their
season long point totals with 1 playing 8, 2 playing 7, 3 playing 6 and 4 playing 5 with
the winners advancing until a winner is determined.
REVIEW OF SCORING AND MATCH PLAY
1. All play will be under USGA Rules. The Pro Shop will post the conditions of play

handicap in the foursome.

prior to playing. The Pro Shop will assign the player a handicap for that
round.
5. The league is based on the White Tees. However, any member who’s age and
handicap equals 90 or higher, will have the option of playing the Gold tees. If
they play the Gold tees, a further reduction in their handicap upon which the

to eliminate any issues.
