We're only about 8 weeks out from the start of Wednesday Weekly league!
With Luke leaving us we've had to make some significant changes and do away with the points system and standings. Below you'll find all of the details of this years league along with a run down of the changes.
The tags should be in within a week or so, and Matt will have them for sale at putting league when they come in.
Bookmark this page for weekly results, layout changes, etc.

• Initial cost: $20 for a 2020 tag

• Four player pools (A/B/C/D) – Your pool placement will be based on your average score.
Anything under 55.99 and under = A Pool
56 through 61.99 = B Pool
62 through 68.99 = C pool
Anything 69 and over = D Pool
56 through 61.99 = B Pool
62 through 68.99 = C pool
Anything 69 and over = D Pool
These #'s are for scores on The Hill (standard baskets). You can always play up a division.
• We will not be running a points system or have season long standings this year. Instead of cash prizes for the top 3 players of each pool, the $ will go towards weekly payouts and the bonanza. All tag holders who attend the Bonanza will play a "championship" style round for trophies/bragging rights. Trophies will be handed out to winners of A, B, C, and D pools based on the bonanza loop scores after the round.
• Lots of raffle prizes at end of the year including more big-ticket items. Bonanza raffle entries are awarded by attending league. The more you play, the more chances you have to win a prize. Earn additional raffle entries by winning the skills challenge, or hitting an ace. We want to encourage tag sales, so the system will not start counting your raffle entries until you have purchased your 2020 tag.
• Players opting to play on The General will receive a handicap. The handicap will be based on last 3 years of data with nearly 6,000 rounds considered.
• 31 weeks of league play (last day is Wednesday October 7th).
• CASUAL PLAY IS DISCOURAGED ON BOTH COURSES ON WEDNESDAY EVENINGS DURING LEAGUE SEASON
• One round of singles
• If you leave before tags are redistributed, get someone to grab it for you. Alternatively, you can grab the highest #'d tag available on the board before you leave. If you don't grab a tag, take one off the big hook on the door and place it on the board when you sign in next time.
• Tags are in play for casual rounds and tournaments. Higher tag can challenge a lower tag and under most circumstances, lower tag must accept.
• The auto generated hole assignments are an integral part of keeping league running on time. Please report to your assigned hole at the appropriate time.
• If there is money in the ace pot at the end of the year, we will throw off for it at the Bonanza.
• There will be a year-end Bag Tag Bonanza to end the season. For tag holders only! Date is Sunday October 25th.
