MEN'S LEAGUE For the 2011 season we will again be offering on Men's Night an additional program called Men's League, run during the months of June, July and August. Those who registered will be divided into teams based on handicaps. A team in 2011 will consist of eight players. Each night the teams will record their individual results using the Stableford system for scoring. The best two scores and the lowest two scores for each team for each week will be deleted and the middlescore will be deleted, if the team has only 6 players the 2 high scores will be deleted, if a team has 5 or less players jokers will be used to bring the team up to a minimum of 6 scores. Cash prizes will be given out monthly and overall to the teams able to score the highest number of points for each period. As a added bonus and to recognize good play the person with the highest score each Thursday will receive $10.00 Beckwith Bucks. In the event of a tie the pot will be held over to the next week or until there is an outright winner. This program will be run if registration is sufficiently high enough. Cost for the program is $20.00 payable in advance. Registration sheets have been posted and the team draw will be made prior to June 2nd.
