The Harborside Men’s League is held Thursday evenings, with a 5:30PM shotgun start. Each individual player will be responsible for paying the full $205 initiation fee, as well as a $55 weekly green fee.

Flights
Based on total number of teams. For each team, the two individual’s handicaps will be combined to make a team handicap. Port Flight will consist of the first 12 lowest team handicaps: Starboard Flight will consist of the remaining 12 teams. If we do not get to 18 total teams it will be only one flight for the season and the schedule could change to make sure everyone plays each team once before the playoffs begins.
Fees
Each individual player will be responsible for paying the full $215 initiation fee. All players pay a weekly green fee.
Handicaps
All players must have a valid USGA Handicap. Valid USGA Handicap from other courses will be accepted. USGA Handicap enrollment can be acquired for a fee of $40 through CDGA.org.
Play
Shotgun start each week at 5:30PM. All matches will be 9 holes. Players aged 60 or higher may play from the White Tees, all others will play from the Blue Tees. Play will rotate between the Port and Starboard courses as well as front and back nine. All teams will compete weekly in a round robin league format. USGA rules shall govern play. Note: A local Rule Sheet will be provided. Following the regular season, a three-week single elimination playoff will determine the League Champion.
Scoring
In all matches each player receives 80% of his course handicap. The course handicap of all four players is reduced by the course handicap of the player with the lowest handicap, who then plays from scratch. Teams will compete in a best ball format. All players will play their own ball throughout the 9 holes, and the team will be determined by the lowest score of the two team members. Each hole is worth 1 point or ½ point for a tie. Each match is worth a total of 9 points. In the case a team does not show up for their match the team they are playing against will play against Par that night instead of receiving a full 9 points.
