Looking to improve your golf game while having a good time? Want to add some fun competition to your weeknights? If you are, we have just what you are looking for! Freestone Golf Course will start two different leagues that play every Tuesday and Thursday night. Players can simply choose either league any night. You do NOT have to play in just one league the entire year. You can pick and choose which you league you want to play in once you reach the golf course. Let’s take a look at both leagues!
 
LIMESTONE LEAGUE: The first league will have a revolving format. Just stop in and each week we will have a different game for everyone to play. We will play scramble, two person best ball, alternate shot, Las Vegas, and others. We will also have rotating hole prizes for closest to the pin, longest putt, straightest drive, longest drive, etc. It is a great way to get out on the course and play some different games and make some friends! No qualifying necessary.
 
COAL LEAGUE: The second league will be a two man blind draw quota format. Players will play stroke play and will have to pull points based upon their score on each individual hole. It will be handicapped. At the end of the round all players will be blindly paired with a teammate and prizes will be awarded to the top teams.
 
Qualifying:
 
We will have qualifying rounds the first four weeks of the league to establish your 9 hole handicap. We feel we need to have this qualifying track to insure a fair and balanced league. This should not discourage anyone from joining the Coal League. Every golfer will be accepted from a 4 handicap for 9 holes to an 18. Also, if you wish to join the Coal League later in the year, you can do that. You just need to get your four qualifying rounds in. For your qualifying round we will waive the $5 fee. During these qualifying rounds we will still have competitions to keep it fun and competitive. The competitions will be for most fairways hit, most greens in regulation, least number of putts, etc. We will clearly identify the game before play begins and the winners will receive a prize.
 
 
 
Coal League Play:
 
Once everyone has established a league handicap, everyone will be assigned a specific number of points that they have to pull, based on that handicap. Points are based on what you score per hole.
 
For example: An eagle is worth 4 points. A birdie is worth 3 points. A par is worth 2 points. A bogey is worth 1 point. Anything over a double bogey is 0 points for the hole.
 
Individual Scoring Example: A 9 handicap for nine holes needs to pull 9 points and he only pulls 7 points. That player’s score is -2 for the round.
 
Team Scoring Example: Our player from above has a score of -2 and he is paired with a player who had a good round and scored +4. They have a team score of +2.
 
Please reply to this email if you are interested in either leagues and we will see you on the course on May 4 at 5 p.m.
 
Prizes:
 
Your $5 will go towards our prizes at the end of play each night. We will give out golf prizes or gift certificates to the clubhouse based on the number of golfers that play each night. 
 
Fall Ryder Cup:
 
Our goal at the end of this season is to generate enough interest to have the first ever Freestone Cup ( Ryder Cup type format). We will divide everyone who has qualified for the Coal League into two even teams and they will compete for the Freestone Cup Title!
