Welcome to the Wednesday Night League!

 

 

LEAGUE RULES 2023

FORMAT:  PARTNER MATCH PLAY

   

Teams:  2 Person teams - players should be no more than 10 strokes apart to help keep a level playing field.

Flights:  Determined by combined team handicap.  Field changes yearly.  There is no guarantee that you will be in the same flight from year to year.

Format:  Partner Match Play—This is a net game.

Scoring:  20 Point System (1 point per hole + 1 point for winning each match =  10 points per match (20 points total))

· Team of 2 partners play in 2 separate Head-to-Head matches against another team within the same flight.

· The player with the better net score on a hole, wins the hole and gains 1 point. 

      If the net score on a hole is the same, each player receives ½ point.

· The player who takes the most points after 9 holes or after the most completed holes, wins an additional 1 point. 

      If you and your opponents combined points = 4.5 for each for the match, the 1 bonus point is split; .5 and .5

 

SCORECARDS Must be scored entirely with points equaling 20 for the match. Turning in a scorecard that is not scored and attested by both teams will result in a SPLIT (10-10) for the match. Scorecards are to be turned into the course’s scorecard box following play. Matches that do not turn in a scorecard will also result in a SPLIT. This rule will take effect the 4th week of league.

 

DUES Must be paid by the 2nd week of league. If dues are not paid, your team will be deemed absent and absentee rules apply. Dues are $100 for the 2023 season. Payment for the end of year 18 hole tournament is included in the dues. Weekly fees will be $20 for public and $11 for members.

 

Absences: If one person in a team is absent, he/she forfeits and scores as follows:  3 strokes will be added to his/her current handicap for that round. If an entire team is absent, both players forfeit and the opposing team takes 12 points after the completion of play. The forfeiting team takes 6 points. Please note, a player cannot participate in the skin competition unless accompanied by at least 2 other players (3 players or more). Absentee matches will equal a total of 18 points instead of 20.

 

If your team is absent more than 2 consecutive weeks without notification to the PRO SHOP your team may be removed from the current season of play.

 

Schedule:  Play rotates between Capri Isles, Calusa Lakes and Waterford.  Waterford is a 27 hole facility, Calusa and Capri are 18 hole facilities.  All are Championship golf courses. USGA rules govern all play

 

Handicaps are updated every other week after the first 3 weeks of play

 

Hole in One Club - $10 per person, all Holes in One during the season and including the tournament will be split and paid out at the tournament banquet. If the pot is not won during the current league season, it will be carried over to the following season. All players who would like to participate in the 2023 pot will need to put $10 in.

 

 

Skins — Skins will be awarded within your own flight. This is an optional weekly skins game.  The $5.00 is due prior to teeing off.  If no skins are awarded in a certain week, the money is rolled over and a player adds an additional $5.00 to be entered the following week.  A player wishing to enter who was not previously in, owes $10.00.  It will be VERY APPARENT if there is a rollover. Rain outs will not result in a pot increase and only increase if a completed flight rolls over.

 

Tees: Men’s Flights 1-9 will play from the #2 tees. Flight 10 will play from the #3 tees.

Ladies Flights 1-3 will play from the #4 tees. Flight 4 will play from the #5 tees.

 

   *RAIN POLICY - In case of inclement weather, when the course has not been officially closed, a decision must be made by BOTH teams to quit and the points will be split.  A team cannot be forced to play in threatening weather.  If less than half the flight completes the match, the ENTIRE flight will split points.  A match is considered complete when 5 or more holes are completed.  If more than half the flight completes 5 or more holes, the match is complete and those choosing not to play will split points.

 

 

Changes for 2023 Season!

Handicaps will be based on the last 10 rounds played.
