Smitty
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.
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.
Standings

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.
You probably told us, and we probably forgot. Sorry! Send your team names to [email protected] and we'll update them on the schedule :)

...that's what she said.
You are welcome to bring your own clubs, but there are some available to use for free. Please complete the waiver online before you arrive. We are UPSTAIRS so when you arrive, you can head straight up.
Five Iron is located on a corner with a ton of convenient street parking in all four directions, so you should be able to find a spot within a 1-2 block walk without much issue.
Practice Play from 6:00-6:30pm
All Pro Circuit players have been assigned to teams and you should have received an email. If not, please reach out and let us know. Four teams will play from 6:30-8:00 and two will play from 8:00-9:30pm tonight. If you'd like to check out the teams, you can see the roster here. If you have the 8:00pm game, join us early and feel free to get some swings in with the casual players!
After tonight, feel free to tell us your team names and we'll update them on the site!
Please arrive before 6:30 and check-in at our table upstairs to get your name on the list. We will scramble teams each week, and begin play at 6:30. If you have a partner you'd like to stick with, no worries - we'll keep you together!

Greetings Golfers!
We're excited to kick off our first ever golf league tomorrow night, and can't wait to turn this into a regular program for golfers of all skills. As this is a new concept and a new venue, we are going to approach this league with a ton of flexibility. As we go from week to week, we welcome all ideas for improvements and tweaks. Most of all - we want everyone to have fun and whack some balls. So let's get into it!
Each individual/team will be scored based on their performances and earn points each week. You will earn points for defeating your opponent, and also for achieving high scores across all competitors for the week. At the end of the league, we will crown champions and have prize packages for the winners. More details to be shared tomorrow!
3v3 Scramble, New Course Every Week
All of our Pro Division players will group into teams of three for the entire season. If you have friends who have not signed up yet, you have until Wednesday at 2pm to have them register. If you wish to be a Captain for your scramble team, email [email protected] and provide us with your partners' names. Any free agents or couples without a third will be assigned a third to join them.
All teams will be assigned an alternating timeslot starting at either 6:30pm or 8:00pm each week, and your scramble round will last an hour and a half. At the end of the night, we will have an additional skill challenge for a Weekly Prize (i.e. Longest Drive, Closest Putt, etc).

Randomized Teams, New Play Format Each Week
For our casual golfers, the name of the game is fun, so your league will feature more chaos! Some weeks, you'll be whacking golf balls into cars, or playing putt putt, or otherwise enjoying a golf experience that won't be punishing for novice or casual players. The scoring each week will vary depending on the game experience.
We are also going to open up CASUAL OPEN PLAY. Do you have some friends who are curious, but not willing to commit to a full season? Casual players will be welcome to join for $20 each week, and will be added to the pool of casual participants for the week. We will have both weekly and cumulative scoring for our top casual players.
RSVPs for OPEN PLAY will be handled through this Facebook event here. Open play players can pay on-site: https://www.facebook.com/events/1097157361456230/
For our opening night, we have a couple of special rules that will apply to 1/17 only to help us kick start the league.
