FORMAT: 2 person teams (can be mixed) will

1 point for each hole and 1 point for low net score
will be awarded. Weekly points and standing will
be kept. We will alternate nines each week. The
top 8 teams will make a playoff to determine the
overall league champs. Scorecards, handicaps,
and schedules will be posted in the meeting room.
FEES: There is a one-time team fee of $60.00,
which will be used for the league banquet.
Anyone who subs will be invited to the year-end
banquet however they will be required to pay a fee
of $25.00. Greens fees are $14.00 to walk or
$21.00 to ride. Players with the CRG Card will
pay a riding fee of $18.00. League players can
purchase the card in the pro shop for $44.95
(Normally $54.95). Complimentary greens & cart
fees are provided for final match of the playoffs.
HANDICAPS: The league administrator will
keep handicaps. Established handicaps will carry
over from the previous season. Handicaps will be
removed from the system after a full season of
inactivity. Team handicaps will be figured by
taking 96% of your best 3 of 5. Until 3 scores are
recorded an average of scores will be used.
Handicaps will be adjusted each week but not
once the playoffs begin. New teams will use the
chart posted in the clubhouse to figure their
handicap. If the opposing team has an established
handicap they will use the one provided. 6
strokes is the maximum handicap differential
between teams.
STARTING TIMES: Both team members must
check in at the pro shop and have paid the
appropriate fees prior to the beginning of each
match. Matches will begin at 5:30 except in April,
August, & September when they will begin at
5:15. If there are open holes on the nine the match
is to be played warm up holes are permitted (up to
45 minutes before starting time). Anyone wishing
to play earlier will pay a special rate to be
determined by the pro shop. Please respect golfers
finishing up their rounds. If a team is late they
lose all holes missed plus they will not be eligible
for the point total. Due to circumstances beyond
our control, league play may sometimes start a
few minutes late (an outing taking more time than
anticipated). Thank you for your patience.
