LEAGUE STRUCTURE

PARTNERS & SCORING

Season pairings

At the beginning of the season, AI randomly generates pairings for the entire season.

  • Each player receives their individual score plus the best score of their two partners.
  • Each player’s weekly result is the aggregate of their score and their selected partner’s score.

MISSED WEEKS

If you have to miss a week, let Jon know as soon as possible so a fill-in can be found. Your score for that week will be your average.

WEEKLY BAY DRAW

Who plays together

Bay pairings—who you play with in a bay on a particular night—are selected by random draw each week. Check in with Jon when you arrive to pull your card from the deck.

Every course.
The same conditions.

The commissioner selects the course each week. These settings apply to every course, regardless of location.

Easy pin placement. Bays may show different pin locations, but all are set to easy.

PUTTING

10-foot gimmies

We will be putting this year.

FAIRWAYS

Moderate

WEEKLY CONTEST

Closest to the pin

  • A par 3 from that week’s course is selected.
