Welcome to The Fall MIXED Handicap League at Tadpole Beach, sponsored by DISC TEEZ DISC GOLF PRO SHOP! Everyone is welcome and new players can join at any point during the season. This is a MIXED SINGLES handicap league with a $5 weekly player entry fee and an optional $5 weekly ace pool entry fee. Weekly player fees are CASH ONLY for each individual week.
The weekly handicap league is held at Tadpole Beach, located within Lake Lansing Park North in Haslett. This league is specifically tailored for all skill levels, from seasoned players to less experienced players looking to improve their game in a casual, but competitive setting.
You are free to choose your own cards each week. Cards must have a minimum of 3 players. Entry fees should be paid and cards should be ready to go no later than 9:55 AM, so we can all tee off punctually at 10 AM. Starting hole assignments will depend on the number of players each week. If there are 4 cards or more, starting holes will be assigned by the League Coordinator. 3 cards or less and you can choose your own starting hole. We will be using UDisc for live scoring.
$5 entry fee to participate with 100% payout every week.
$5 ace pool entry fee (optional) rolls over each week until an ace is made. If more than one ace is made in a single week, the ace pool will be split evenly.
Here's where the handicaps come in. After each round is completed, your scores will be added together, then divided by the number of weeks you've played to determine your own personal average for the FOLLOWING week. Your average can change depending on your week to week scores. Handicaps will be 80% of your average. For example, if you average a +10, you will be given a -8 handicap. If you average a -10 you will be given a +8 handicap. Your personal handicaps will then keep the competition and playing field even.
If you attended the league last year, you will start with your handicap from the previous season. If you have never attended the league your first week is a raw score round, with handicap being adjusted the following week.
Payouts will change from week to week depending on the number of participants. The top 3 finishers are guaranteed a payout. In the event of a tie for a payout, the tied participants can choose between an even split of winnings or a CTP on hole 1.
YOU MUST BE PRESENT AFTER ALL PLAYERS FINISH THEIR ROUNDS AND SCORES HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED FOR HANDICAPS TO RECEIVE A PAYOUT.
If there is a CCR or Trip C's tournament on a Sunday the league will have a bye week.
Please don't hesitate to reach out to Emily Seeling, League Coordinator, if you have ANY questions or concerns. I'm looking forward to fun times, meeting some new folks, and of course some friendly competition for $. Let's continue to grow the sport!

Is there a handicap adjustment that you will apply for this week? Trinity is much harder than Tadpole. New players using raw score can enjoy an advantage either winning week 1 or have it factor their average to their competitive benefit by the very nature of greater difficulty. Also..short 17 or long? Will 17 be a par 4 from short or a 3? Ty in advance!
Doubles will not count in the handicap
