2021 Oaks Couples League

 

Welcome to the 2021 Couples League at The Oaks Golf Links. The league is open to all couples looking for a fun and relaxed atmosphere.

 

Included in this packet will be the schedule and formats.  Some formats involve handicap and if you do not have one we will figure one out for you. 

 

We have a great season in front of us and hope that all couples participating in the league will have a wonderful and enjoyable time.

 

If you know you will not be playing on any given week, please email Craig or Jon to let us know.  This will be helpful when pairing up groups.  We try not to have twosomes, but if we have an uneven amount of teams a twosome may happen.
