Spring/Summer 2025

League 1 - Tuesday Night / League 2 - Tuesday Night / League 3 - Wednesday Night 
2025 Men's League is a Two Person Team event. 

Please email David Hansinger: dhansinger@mountainbranch.com with any questions
  We are excited to get the 2025 year kicked off with registrations for the Men’s Leagues!  

The overall concept of the league and its format will not change.  It will remain Better Ball of Partners “Net” Match Play
Leagues will start on April 15th & 16th. Play will begin @ 5:30pm each week.  

Those that participated in 2024 have first rights to the 20 team openings for their respective league nights.  If teams wish to switch nights, they will be put on a waiting list for that night and moved to the front of the list ahead of the “New” teams that are on the waiting list.  If a team is to split up and both players wish to play with different teammates, both teams will be added to the waiting list for that night they wish to play, again, given priority over “new” teams. If a teammate loses his partner from 2024 and has a new partner (the original partner is no longer playing in the league) then that team may retain their spot if paid in full by 1/31/2025.  All teams must be paid in full by January 31, 2025, to keep their spot. If teams remain unpaid in full on February 1st, 2025, then those on the waiting list will be given the opportunity to join. Teams will be offered the chance to join in order of their place on the waiting list.  All league registrations must be paid by Credit Card and must be done online. We will not be taking payment in the shop. A link to make payment will be sent in a separate e-mail.

**Unlimited Members who join the league, but their membership ends during the league season and do not renew their membership must pay the associate rate to continue to play in the league. Those that do not retain their membership through the entirety of the league will not be allowed to play for their team until the difference is paid.

Rate for Spring/Summer league will be $700.00 for the League Associate Membership and $275.00 for Unlimited Members. Each team member will be responsible for their entry fees.  
The Associate Membership along with the Associate Member benefits are included (except the free round).  You will still have access to all Member events except for the Stroke Play Championship and Club Championship.
Each week the two leagues on their respective night will “flip flop” nines so that everyone is playing the opposite 9 holes every other week. 

The format will remain Net Better Ball of Partners Match Play. Each league will be broken down into 2 divisions with the 10 lowest combined team handicaps being placed in the Mountain Division and the other 10 combined team handicaps being placed in the Branch Division.  Teams within each division will play each other one time over a 9-week regular season. There will be no built-in days for rainouts. In case of a rainout, play for that week will be completed the following week, with playoffs to start the week following the end of regular season play. The top 8 teams for each division will make the playoffs. We always try our very best, based on technology and experience, to make the correct call based on player safety and timing of travel, course conditions, etc. when considering cancellation.

Divisions for each league night will be made based on Team indexes on 4/1/25.  Teams that do not have players with an established handicap by the start of league will play from scratch with no exceptions until they have established an index here at the club. The season schedule, including all regular season matches will be posted on the website for the entire regular season. Leagues will once again have their own dedicated webpage as we did in 2024.  That information will be given out as we get closer to the season getting started. 

The matches will be 9-hole matches with each hole having a point value.  Each hole is worth 1 point.  The team that wins the hole will receive a full point, if teams halve that hole, they each receive a half a point. The team that wins their match will also receive an extra point towards their 9-hole total.  If a match is halved after 9 holes neither team will receive a bonus point for the match.  Teams must win their match to get that extra point.  Team Total Points will rank teams within the division first to last. At the end of the regular season the Top 8 teams in each division will go into a single elimination playoff bracket with the winner of each division playing each other for the Overall League Night Championship.  The playoffs are Better Ball of Partners Net - Match Play. If tied, sudden death will apply.

Ties at the end of the season will be broken by the following: 1. Head-to-Head record.  2.  Most regular season wins.  3. If teams are still tied there will be a putt off on the putting green at 5:00PM on the first night of the playoffs of the team’s respective night.  The playoffs will be played over 4 weeks.

The handicap for players will be 100% with a max of 9 strokes per 9 holes for all players. We will not be playing off the low handicap.  

*There will ONLY be ONE official scorecard for each group/match. That card will require 2 signatures (one from each team) verifying the card after play. Please make sure the scorecard is turned into the pro shop and legible.
Scores will be posted through Golf Genius once all results are inputted and official. Results will be posted as soon as possible, with the goal being the next day.

SUBSTITUES will be allowed only for pace purposes. In no circumstances will substitution score count toward match.  

Upon completion of the regular season and when playoffs start, teams that do not make the playoffs or lose in a playoff round may still play through the completion of league play.

Men 59 and younger – Black Tees
Men 60 and older – White Tees

Each Men’s League will consist of Weekly Winnings (Total Points) 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Closest to the Hole on all par threes, both the Black and White Tees.
Because of software limitations, I will attach a separate spreadsheet to indicate weekly winners and send through golf genius so everyone can track their winnings.
Please review posting of weekly results to double check that all postings are correct.
