Week 1 is in the Books!
Thank you for a fun start to the season and thanks for your patience as we work through the finer points of the league. We learned a lot in week one, and are going to make some adjustments going forward.
Pro League
Schedule
Going forward, we are going to have ALL teams play a full 9-hole round starting at 7pm every night. We will open the doors at 6:30 for practice if anyone wants it, then matches will begin!

Scoring
We're going to try out a scoring format that many of you will be familiar with from bowling leagues. Each week, a total of 8 total points are up for grabs. 2 points for every three holes, and 2 points for overall score. So Team A could have a -2 advantage over Team B in holes 1-3, could tie in holes 4-6, and could be +1 in the final three holes. They would earn 2 points, 1 point, and 0 points for the holes, and 2 points for winning overall. Team A would defeat Team B 5-3 in this scenario.
We think this will make each third of the match meaningful.

Casual League
Blowing up cars is fun.... for a little bit. But we know that those wacky modes can last a little too long sometimes. We'll be adjusting for faster rounds and some more traditional style play (i.e. closest to the pin/hitting targets), and we'll mix in some real courses as well. The purpose will still be to have fun without too much pressure, but we'll push the style a little closer to real golf without quite as many pigeons being killed.
