Format and Play

  • Teams are randomly selected each week. Assigned teams maybe formed for tee time conveniences.
  • Nine-hole play
  • All Play is from the RED Tees (unless announced otherwise)
  • All Players will play their own ball, from tee to hole.
  • Stakes are placed at longest-drive and closest-to-the-pin on 2nd shot holes for individual competition.
  • Each scorecard will consist of 2 scores – player’s golf score for the round and her individual point score (explained below).
  • Watch pace of play - pick up ball and bring to outskirts of green if it is looking like a double par score: (For Example: Par 4 hole - if you have 6 shots and are not on the green, pick up ball and bring to edge of green for practicing purposes)

Individual Point Scoring System

  • The league uses an individual point-quota scoring system, which makes the league challenging and competitive for all levels of golfers.
  • Each player is assigned a points-quota (referred to as points needed) based on her handicap.
  • A new player who does not have a registered handicap will be assigned points by Pro Shop manager.
  • You earn (make) points based on your individual score of each hole as follows: Double Bogey – ½ pt, Bogey - 1 pt, Par - 2 pts, Birdie - 4 pts, Eagle - 8 pts.
  • The goal is to get more points than your quota.
  • The team/individual with the highest Net Points (points needed minus points made) wins!
  • Your points are subject to change weekly based on your previous individual play.
  • Check the pro shop each week to learn your new points needed.

Competition and Prizes

  • Copley "Cash" is awarded to winning teams and individuals.
  • Weekly prizes awarded to individuals and teams based on that evening’s play.
  • End-of-season prizes awarded to individuals based on accumulated points for the entire season.

“Guest Play”

An individual is welcome to play in any two Thursday night games without becoming a league member. Guest play” is used by ladies who are unable to make a full season commitment and by new comers who wish to familiarize themselves with the league process before joining. Green fees will apply for non-members. If this is something you'd like to do, please feel free to join us any Thursday evening and play golf with the league as our guest.
