STRUCTURE
What will the structure
be? Is it a one person operation or will there be a core group to
volunteer their time to a club? You can start a league all by yourself and
run it quite well. If you have core group of volunteers you should
consider starting a club. We recommend that you create a board consisting
of a president, secretary/treasurer, tournament
director, course director, league director and a merchandise director. The
board should meet periodically to determine tournament dates, league
nights, course maintenance schedules and other needs for the club. They
should meet often while organizing the club and league, then once every
few months after that. If you start out on your own don’t despair, you can
do it all with a little organization until you get some volunteers to help
carry the load.
PLANNING
Once you have a board of volunteers, you must set the play schedule, dates
for tournaments (remembering Daylight Saving Time when planning your
schedule) and make decisions for the club. First, decide what type of
league you want it to be. Will it be for beginners, advanced players, or a
combination of both? Check other club and league schedules in your area to
avoid conflicting dates.
Flyer
The president usually creates the league flyer. If you know someone with
an artistic ability or with a computer graphics program, you should
delegate this task to them. Make sure to include the league name, dates,
times, location, league format, costs, sponsor logos and contact person
with phone number. Distribute to all players and place in stores, on
bulletin boards in and around the park. Ask for your sponsors’ support in
promoting your league at their business sites.

FORMATS
What type of
league do you want? We suggest to keep it simple, anyone can easily run a
weekly best shot doubles. Once you begin to grow your player base, you may
want some type of handicap format which gives beginning players a better
chance to be competitive. Singles, doubles, best shot, pro-am or match
play, what’s best? Some clubs run a week night singles league during the
summer and a weekend doubles league the rest of the year. Other clubs run
weekend singles year round, it all depends on you how you want to run your
league. A good start is an informal doubles league which plays and pays
out weekly. Link to our Singles or Doubles page for details on how to run
your league.
FORMAT EXPLANATIONS
PRO-AM : Simply splits your players by
ability, so better players are teamed with
beginning players as partners in doubles.
MATCH PLAY: Pits teams or players against each other on a hole by hole
basis, the player(s) that win the most holes, win the match.
BEST SHOT: Both players throw, the best shot is chosen and both players
throw from this spot, they repeat this until they hole out.
ALTERNATE SHOT: Players take turns playing their partners’ shot starting
with the first drive and alternating every shot until the end of the
round.
SKINS:Similar to match play, each hole is worth a skin (cash or points).
Cash or points are carried over from each hole until they’re won, ties on
a hole means the value of the hole is added to the next hole.
