The 2022 Players Cup

League Rules

Major Weeks:

There will be two different weeks labeled as Major Weeks. On these days, the point values will double for everyone in the league. This gives golfers that are behind in the standings a chance to come from behind and catch the rest of the league.

Scorecards:

All cards must be turned into the active manager in the clubhouse at the end of each round.  Handicaps will be managed through our league manager software and the maximum handicap a player can have is +18 for 9 holes.

Jungle Golf:

If your ball is hit out of bounds or into a hazard you may play a provisional ball or spot your ball at the nearest entry point to the hazard and penalize your score for that hole with a one stroke penalty. You may move your ball anywhere with your club head within six inches from the original spot (everywhere but the fringe and green).  However, do not improve your position (i.e. around a bush/tree).  No gimmes, no mulligans.  No loss of distance or out of bounds. Drop your ball within two club lengths of the point of entry.

Maximum Stroke Rule:

The highest score that may be allotted is a 10 on any hole. If you have reached 10 please pick up your ball and move onto the next hole.

USGA rules hereafter apply.

All Men will play from the white tees, ladies from the reds, and seniors (65 & older) may play from the gold tees.

Make-ups & Forfeits

If you plan on missing any particular week please let Zach know. That way we are not waiting for you to arrive. Makeup rounds must take place within two weeks of the scheduled playing date). Failure to make up your round by the deadline will result in 0 points for that date.

Playoffs

Everyone in the league will make the playoffs at the end of the year. Players’ points will carry over into the playoffs. There will be a new point system for the playoffs to make things more interesting. Points will be two times the amount they were in the regular season.

For example, the first-place finish is worth 50 points during the regular season and 100 points during the playoffs. Cash payouts will go out to the first, second,  third, fourth, fifth, and sixth place winners.

Skins & Pins

Skin & Pin games will be voluntary for each golfer. Your name and $5 must be put into the skin box before you go out to play. Shots will be considered valid for the pin shot if you are on the green (not the fringe) and you have signed up for the pin contest. All others will be excluded from skins and pins if money and name is not registered in the clubhouse. The money allotment works as follows: upon entry $2 from each participant will be added to the two pin shot prizes and the remaining $3 dollars will go into any skins prizes. Skins will only be awarded for scores of par or better (a skin will not be rewarded for bogeys). If there are no skins, then money will be split among the pin shot winners. If there are no pin shot winners, then the money will be allotted towards the skins game. If no skins or pins are awarded for that week, then the money will be carried over for next week.
