    • 2 teams of 3 players, 2 teams of four players
    • Entrance fee is $50
  • Payout

    • 2nd place team $80 (split across all players / prorated if necessary)
    • Ties

    • Each flight will last three weeks.
      • 1 round at boca municipal back 9
      • 1 round at boca dunes
      • 1 round players choice / makeup.
      • If you miss one of the first two weeks, you will do your make up in the third week.
      • If you play all three weeks, the makeup round can be used as a replacement for whichever round you prefer
  • Tee times will have a mix of players from different teams for a few reasons;
    • Some players need to play early or late depending on external factors,
    • It’s a good way to build camaraderie and get to know the other guys
    • Playing with other team’s players increases the integrity of the scores

Scoring Information

  • Each golfer shall play a standard round of golf
  • Keep track of their own score
  • Keep track of their Stableford points.
  • Report their score and Stableford points in the Automated Score Tracking System.
  • To calculate Stableford points.
    • For each hole you get:
      • 4 points for eagle, 3 points for birdie, 2 points for par, 1 point for bogey, 0 points for everything else
      • Example: 3 bogeys, 2 pars, 1 birdie, 2 double bogey, 1 triple bogey
      • 3 (3x bogeys) + 4 (2x pars) + 3 (1x birdie) = 10 Stableford Points
  • Once all scores have been recorded
    • I will total all the stableford points for each team.
    • Those points will then be compared to your teams course stableford handicap to get your overall score for the week
    • For example:
      • If a team’s boca municipal back 9 Stableford handicap is 20
      • Player 1 scores 10 Stableford points
      • Player 2 and 3 score 5 Stableford points
      • Player 4 scores 1 Stableford points
      • The team score will be 10 + 5 + 5 + 1 = 21 points. subtract our Stableford handicap of 20 and our league score would be 1 point.
      • Teams can (and likely will) have negative points for a week since your handicap is an optimistic average
      • Several players are either new or haven’t played a round at one of the courses
        • Their handicap is more of an estimate than an actual handicap
        • I think I was pretty fair and consulted others for feedback when estimating.
        • However, if those players handicaps are very far off I’ll reserve the right to update their teams’ handicap to increase (or decrease) the competitiveness of the league

League Specific Rules

  • NO GIMMIES
  • EACH PUTT NEEDS TO END IN THE HOLE. Hitting the flagstaff or sponge does not mean the putt is good.
  • Ready golf (to keep things moving)
  • 1 club relief if you find your ball, but it’s unhittable (on tree branches, in the shrubbery, on concrete, etc)…
  • LOST BALL OR BALL IN WATER, 1 STROKE PENALTY (NO EXCEPTIONS)
  • 2 minute time limit to look for a lost ball
  • When your ball is on the green, it is your responsibility to mark it. FAILURE TO MARK YOUR BALL IS A 1 STROKE PENALTY IF YOUR BALL IS HIT BY ANOTHER PLAYERS BALL
