League Basics (Prelim 2016 Structure):
Wednesday Weekly Web Page - http://www.devensdg.blogspot.com/p/leagues.html
The Wednesday Weekly returns on March 16th. Come get your 2016 bag tag and be ready to go by 4:30PM (15 minutes earlier for The General). This was once again the most popular singles league in New England last year (2,064 golfers came out) and we are aiming to make it bigger and better again this year so come join the fun. We are working behind the scenes to potentially automate check in and score reporting for a quicker turn around after the round.
We use league as our primary fundraiser to help pay our yearly insurance bill. We make it fun and fair for all, so don't worry that you have to be an all-star to have a good time. We group players into four groups based on skill/gender, so you'll always be competing with someone about as good as you.
