Couples Leagues Information & format.

DATES: Every Monday from 4/30/07(make up date)- 8/20/07- Banquet 8/27/07  No Golf- 5/28/07  matches start 5/7/07

TIMES: 4 groups- 3:00-3:45,  3:55-4:40,  4:50-5:35,  5:45-6:30 PM

FORMAT: Each week couples will be scheduled to play another couple. Along with their scheduled match, their score will be matched against another couple so each couple will play two matches a week. We play a better ball format. Each player plays their first shot then the couple must choose which shot they prefer to play and each play from that spot. They continue this process (including putting) to they hole out. They receive one score for the couple. They will compete against each other using stroke play (total score minus handicap). All couples will play with handicaps based on league scores- couples playing last year will carry over last year's handicap while new couples will establish one after week and it will be adjusted weekly. Each win is worth 2 points and a tie is one point. The last 4 weeks are playoff weeks and match ups are determined by standings. During the playoff matches wins are worth 3 points. All couples will be divided by time slots and then rated by handicaps (A & B flight) after June 25th matches. After this division there will be 8 divisions. Look for the playoff official rules as we get closer to that date.

 

MAKE-UPS: Each couple will be allowed to play 3 matches before June 4th to be used as make-ups. The make ups are rounds played in advanced and are used when needed. We call these BANK scores & the Bank scores are used in the order they are played. To play a bank round a couple must get a bank card from the cashier have it dated and it must be returned immediately after the completion of the round & must be attested by another couple.  These make-ups or bank rounds will be used as needed when a couple does not show. Each couple is allowed 3 bank rounds. Also couples can play matches in advance with their opponents as long as they indicate on the card they are playing and it's with the scheduled couple & played before their scheduled date. The June 4th date can be changed if weather conditions cause a restrictive number of days available for make-ups.

 

MAY matches- All couples will have until June 4th to play their first 4 matches. No scores will be tallied until after June 4th. Couples who miss any of the first 4 weeks (May 7-June 4) can still get credit for the match providing they play a make-up or bank before June 4th. In other words, all couples must have 4 matches played on or before June 4th to be up-to-date. This date is subject to change if rain or weather cancels some May matches.

 

NO-Shows- If a couple does not show then they will forfeit their matches or use their bank or make-up scores. Any couple who is scheduled against a couple who does not show will be expected to show and will play with a couple who's opponent also did not show. The course will try to match up couples when it is known in advance a couple will not be attending. It is important to inform us when you know you will not be attending. When a couple's opponent does not show & there is no other couple missing an opponent, then the couple will play a sub couple (if available) or play with two other couples. This will be the course's decision and made by a case by case basis. To avoid these problems, WE STRONGLY encourage couples that know in advance of their absence to make up these matches with their scheduled opponent before the scheduled day. Please do not rely on bank scores for all your make-ups. RULE- If the course is NOT notified one hour before tee off that that couple will not be playing that night, the league can declare "NO CALL-NO SHOW" and that couple will not be able to use their bank scores. So it is important to let us know if you cannot play.

 

Rain-outs- Bank scores will be used or the couples will have one week to make it up.

Standings- Standings will be posted with current handicaps each week.

Subs or replacements- If one of the couple cannot play, the couple may be able to replace one if someone is lost due to injury or other circumstances. It is THE COURSE'S decision on what will be allowed. The course will consider the replacement & be concerned with a sub being better in skill for the player they replace. The course also can allow the remaining player to play alone. Again, this a case by case situation & the course will make the decision that is fair to both the couple and its opponents.
