This is a PDGA sanctioned league. Active PDGA members will receive points towards entry to the PDGA World Championships (Am & Pro) as well as a rating each week. Non-PDGA members can play but will not earn a rating or points. Standard PDGA rules for sanctioned tournaments apply. Please see
https://www.pdga.com/faq/leagues for more clarification. Important note: Amateur players will receive cash payouts and it will not affect their amateur status.
For this first block, there will be a strict 72 player cap due to limited sunlight. Pre-registration will be available to ensure a spot and will open at 12pm on the Friday directly preceding the event. PRIORITY WILL BE GIVEN TO ACTIVE PDGA MEMBERS (i.e. if 72 PDGA members pre-register, then non-members and last-minutes walk-ons will not be accommodated). One major goal of this league is to give an opportunity for PDGA members that cannot play in tournaments a chance to play rated rounds. If you register and do not cancel before 1pm on the day of play or if you no-show, you will be ineligible to play the following week. Cards will be randomized per division once registration is full.
Everyone will be playing the white tees. Hole 16 will use the long (blue) basket. The PDGA requires the same tee pads for all divisions for a sanctioned league round.
Tee assignments for pre-registered players will be posted at 1pm on Thursday. Everyone else will be assigned a tee when they register before the round.
Walk-up registration closes at 5:20pm SHARP at hole 1's tee (not the parking lot!). I need that time to be able to digitally register players on the PDGA website.
After 12pm on Thursday, you can use the form to register with no penalty
if you can't show up. This will help expediate the data entry on my side before the round. You will not be assigned a tee until you check-in, however.
