Teams will not be awarded points for matches they do not play.
  • LEAGUE WEBSITE: We are using Golf Genius Software that we think everyone will enjoy. After we get 30 full teams, you will receive an email with the league GGID number. This software will ensure that results, pairings, schedules, finding subs and communication will be better throughout our league. It is important that you and your partner give us an accurate and legible email address at the time of registration. Also, this software offers a smart phone app for those tech savvy players.
