2024 Week 1 League Play

BMGL 2024 play kicked off with some new players and exciting matches. Darcy's Duffers jumped into the early lead with a 12-4 win over President's Choice. Mulligans are in close second after also winning by a 12-4 margin over Divot Masters. Sandbaggers toppled Team Fore! 11-5 and are in third. Shank Faction nipped Odd Lot (9-7) and Wedgies needed the second tiebreaker to beat Bag Team by a single stroke (8-8,113-113,152-153.

Overall scores were very impressive for the first week of the season, with the average net coming in at only 0.5 strokes over par (37.5 on the front nine). Brienne Seiner led the way with a net 30, and other low-net prize winners in their respective handicap groupings were John Hunt (32), Bill Perkins (34), and Bruce Arey and Reid Peterson (36). Arey earned low gross honors at even par 37. Thomas Hallen had the longest drive on #7, and John Hunt radared in a putt from 38'7" away to take the longest putt prize.

A note for the new players: Each week the winners of low net and gross scores are highlighted here on the website. However, weekly prizes are given to low net only (not low gross). Two hole prizes are awarded each week, and vary from week to week. Low net prizes are given in four handicap groupings, broken out as evenly as possible based on the distributions of handicaps playing that day. Therefore, you are competing against others with similar handicap for low net individual prizes. See the Prize Listing for a list of individual prize winners.

Reminder from the handicap chair and webmaster: Please clearly write full names with correct spelling on the score sheets each week, so that we don't have to try to guess when entering scores into the handicap database. Also please compute the adjusted gross score based on player handicap. AND... CHECK HANDICAPS against the listing in the score folder to make sure they match what each player reported at the start of the match!
