Little bitt about how we run Men’s League and format at Buffalo Heights Golf Course
How does Men’s League Work?
its a Shot gun start at 5:30 p.m. every Tuesday starting in April with a League meeting, 14 weeks of regular play, a 1st and 2nd half with prizes for both halves. low net winner for the hole season (the Aaron Cohen Trophy) skin games through out the year, gross and net. we have the shoot out for the top 10 lowest net rounds of the year in august. club championship beginning of august. Just a great time had by all
64 guys = 8 teams picked at random at beginning of year sorted into 8 brackets , from low to higher handicap players
Handicap, we use the MGA Ghin system wich you will pay for with your dues. we at buffalo heights will put your score in for you on Tuesday nights to keep everything up to speed for all players involved. if you already have one there is a rebate form you can send in and get some of you r money back from the MGA.
Stroke Play = you play individually (stroke Play) against another individual in your same bracket. you will that person twice, once in the first half of the season and once in the 2nd half of the season.
Scoring in Individual play= There are a total of 11 points total, All Net play, you get 1 point for beating your opponent on 1 hole, half if you tie, also there is 1 point for winning the match (Net), and 1 point for getting the most points through out the match. So a recap , you could get 9 points , 1 for the match and 1 for the most points.
Team aspect of it is= you want all your teammates to get as many points as possible for 7 weeks to accumulate the most points to get 1st or 2nd place. Then we start all over again and do the same thing in the 2nd half for 7 weeks, there again who ever accumulates the most points gets 1st or 2nd place
the winner of 1st place in the 1st half will play the 1st place team in the second half for grand champion of the league for another Prize pot on top of 1st and 2nd half winners. don’t worry i didn’t leave out third place, the rest of the teams on championship night play a 8 man team scramble against the other teams that are left. makes for some fun scores and a good time for everybody. then we tally up the scores and a week later we have the shoot out and Men’s League dinner
what is the shoot out? You have 14 weeks to put up the best net score you can , we take 80 percent of your handicap and apply it to your gross round, the best 10 scores get put into the shoot out for big bucks. here’s how it works. you start with 10 guys on the #1 T-box and each hole 1 guy gets knocked out till your down to 2 guys on hole 9 for 1st place. If there is a tie on any hole for highest score, you have a chip off and whom ever is closer to the hole gets to move on. pay out through 4 places
Cost: it costs $175 dollars to play in Men’s League and that pays for your prizes, dinner, Ghin membership, 1st come first serve till 64 spots are filled after March 10th. you can send us a check with your league dues to Buffalo Heights Golf Course 905 highway 25, 55313 , or venmo us. ill get you the info for that if you want to go that route. thank you
