Thursday Night Men’s league

Teams: Teams will consist of two players. Each team will have a low handicap player and a high handicap player. If both players have the same handicap, they decide who is high and low.

Team Play: Each night, one team is paired against another team in the same flight. The low handicap players from each team will play against each other. The high handicap players from each team will play against each other. Know your handicap before each round.

Handicaps: See "All About Handicaps"

Scoring: A 10 point scoring system is used. Each individual can earn up to 4 points for his team. Two points are awarded for low individual net. Two points are awarded for match play. Two points are awarded for low team net score. Points are split if ties occur. The team with the most points at the end of the year wins their flight.

If teams have the same number of points, the tiebreakers are:

• Most wins.
• Least number of losses.
• Most points during head-to-head competition.
• Hand-to-hand combat.

Please ask someone if you need help with the scoring system.

Net Score: The player with the higher handicap gets to reduce his gross score by the difference between the two competing player’s handicaps. That same player can also reduce scores for individual holes when determining match play. Strokes are subtracted beginning on the highest handicap hole.

Rules: USGA rules apply. No winter rules. 3 minute time limit when searching for lost balls.

Score Cards: Use the brown “OAK HILL GOLF CLUB MEN’S LEAGUE” score cards. The most intelligent person should fill out the scorecard. Please read the instructions on how to fill out the score card properly for league play. Place your scorecard in the league scorecard box after your round. Please write your names clearly.

Substitutes: Anyone can be a substitute. If the player has subbed before in the league, he will have a league handicap. If he has not subbed before, try to determine his handicap (See "All About Handicaps"). If a handicap cannot be determined, he is given a handicap of 5. Please give the complete name of the sub (first and last).

Uneven Teams: If a flight ends up with an odd number of teams, certain teams will have 1 or more bye nights. On a bye night, your team will automatically receive 6 points. You do not have to play to receive the 6 points.
