Men’s League

The Men’s League Committee is excited to announce we are using a new scoring system specifically designed for our club. The Men’s League was founded by a small group of volunteers more than 40 years ago and is today still administered by a committee of three volunteers separate from other club activities.

It is a nine-hole competition for male playing members of Twenty Valley Golf & Country Club. It is played each Thursday and only scores from the front nine are recorded.

Ten teams of 20 to 22 players play against each other and team members are drawn in the following manner:

• Those who played at least half of the games in the previous are automatically entered.
• A waiting list is then posted in the Pro Shop the first day the course officially opens for play in Spring.
• Those players who were on the sick list the previous year are first on the list, followed by those who were on the previous year’s waiting list but did not make it to a team, followed by those who sign up this year.
• Rules governing play are posted at this time also.

Games may be played anytime Thursday and in any company with gross scores recorded in the Pro Shop by 8:30 PM . Handicaps are calculated weekly. Anyone 65 years or older may elect to play the white tees. All others must play the blue tees.

2010 marked the start of a computerized program for the league. Previously, all scores were entered manually on a scoreboard in the men’s lounge. The committee then compiled manually the scores of the competing teams to determine the winners and losers each week. Handicaps were also compiled manually each week. Now, the players turn in their score cards to the Pro Shop who enter it immediately in the computer. The scores appear instantly on a TV in the men’s lounge and the standings of the teams are shown immediately. Handicaps are also handled by the computer as the scores are entered. Other items of interest are also portrayed on an ongoing basis.

A fee of $45 is collected on or before the third play night to pay for weekly draws, computer program lease and end of year team prizes. Draw will generally take place between 8:30 & 9:00 PM.
