CANDIA WOODS MENS MEMBERS LEAGUE BY-LAWS

 

MISSION STATEMENT

The CW Mens Members League is comprised of golfers of all levels.  Our purpose is to bring together like minded golfers for the experience of some fairly competitive golf. We play nine hole rounds of golf on Thursday with assigned tee times from 2:30-4:00pm.  Our format is 2 Person Team Quota Match.  We flight our teams based on team total handicaps ranging for lowest to highest handicaps.

 

TEAM/LEAGUE STRUCTURE

  • 2 Person Teams
  • Sign up as a team or as a single and we will do our best pair you up
    • If Candia Woods is unable to pair up singles, they will be added to the substitute list

The league will be divided into flights ranging from lowest team handicaps to highest team handicaps as stated above. Competition during the season will match teams within their flights. In the event a team loses a member during the season the remaining member may choose a replacement or the CW Management may assign a replacement if one is available. The replacement player’s handicap will not affect which flight the team is positioned in.

 

SCORING FORMAT

      Within each match there will be 1 possible point earned each round.

  • 1 Point for Win
  • ½ Point for Tie

The scorecards each week will reflect the Quota of each player.

SUBSTITUTES

Substitutes are welcome to play in your absence. Substitutes must be a member of the CandiaOaks and have an active USGA handicap index. 

The player who is going to be absent or his teammate is responsible for finding a sub. If unable to find a sub that player will be a -4 Quota.  If both players are absent and unable to find subs they will forfeit the match.

If any other above applies please find the league commissioner ASAP so the necessary scorecard adjustments can be made before tee off.

 

INCLIMATE WEATHER / WEATHER DELAYS

As always we play rain or shine unless Candia Woods deems the course unplayable or unsafe to continue the match.  If called off the course (horn sounds) all players must return to the starting area ASAP.  CW Staff will then determine if or when play will resume. All players must wait 15 minutes before leaving or they will forfeit their match. If both teams leave before the 15 minutes no points will be awarded.
