Ladies' League
Rules and Information
The Ladies' League at Braestone Club is played on Tuesdays throughout the summer.
Please remember that the mission for our Ladies' League is to create a fun, welcoming environment for ladies at the club to enjoy a social round of golf in a competitive, yet relaxed manner. While we have an number of different skill levels throughout our league, we hope to see everyone doing their best to make our league as welcoming as possible!
League play for the 2024 season will run from May 28 through September 10, with the Ladies' League Finale taking place on our final Tuesday of the season.
Scoring is completed for 9 holes each week.
The League Entry Fee of $150 is allocated for weekly prizes, lunch and prizes for our Ladies' League Finale, as well as prizes for the full league season.
League Standings & Points Structure
Points are earned each week based on Net Scoring Standings.
-
The player with the highest net score (last place) will earn 10 points for the week.
-
Each position higher on the leaderboard earns a player 10 additional points.
-
Points are split evenly amongst all tied players in a given week.
Examples:
50 Players play in a given week
-
The last place player earns 10 points
-
Three players tie for 25th, each player earns 250 points
-
The first place player earns 500 points
56 Players play in a given week
-
The last place player earns 10 points
-
Two Players tie for 37th, each player earns 195 points
-
The first place player earns 560 points
League Season Standings are based off of an accumulative point total earned throughout the course of league play.
Each player’s total points are based off of their twelve highest weekly point totals over the course of the season.
Only official Golf Canada and GHIN handicaps will be recognized for net scoring in league play. Having a handicap, as well as properly maintaining it, is highly recommended for all league members as it will greatly impact your ability to place well in the standings!
If less than 50% of league members play, or are expected to play on a league day, the Professional Staff will make a decision on whether to cancel league play for the week.
Every effort is made to have weekly standings, winners, and updated league standings posted as soon as possible after league play. Thank you for understanding that it can be a long process to complete everything required for scoring in both our Men’s and Ladies’ leagues!
Weekly Games & Prizes
Each week, we will play some different on course games such as Closest to the Pin, Closest to the Rope, Count Your Putts, and more!
Prizes will be awarded to the winners of our weekly games, as well as our Low Net scorer each week! New this year, we will also be awarding a prize for our best dressed golfer on select weeks throughout the season!
Prizes are awarded as Braestone Club Gift Certificates that may be used in the Pro Shop, with the beverage cart or at The KTCHN.
