- Each Hole is worth 1 Point (unless the Hammer is thrown)
Hammer – A towel which will start on a random team decided by tee flip. Whoever has possession of the hammer will be able to throw this at any moment to make the hole worth 2 points instead of 1. If accepted the hole will be played out normally and the winner receives double points. If the hammer is declined the opposing team will forfeit the hole giving the team who threw the hammer 1 point automatically for declining the challenge. If the hammer is thrown before the first person has teed off, the hammer must be accepted. Meaning the team throwing the hammer is playing blind and has no advantage. NOTE: BOTH TEAMS HAVE TO BE PRESENT FOR THE HAMMER TO BE THROWN.
(Example – If team 1 has the hammer and team 2 hits a ball OB then it would be a good time to throw the hammer as team 2 would most likely not accept it and they would get a free point.)
Scoring – Season style scoring until final week where the top 4 teams will play an extra week for the playoffs for the top 3 places being paid out. Each team will have a record for the season and winning is based on how many points you have at the end of each match.
No Show – If a team is not able to make it on league night, then they can come in on any day of the week before the next league night to make up their time. If a team is unable to make up their league night, then the match will be forfeited to the other team and all points will be awarded.
Substitutes – Subs are allowed in any of the first 8 weeks. Substitutes are not allowed in the playoffs. Sub will be handicapped and will be subject to disqualification if sandbagging occurs. Decision for disqualification is completely up to The Links Indoor Golf League officials.
Handicap – Each team will get a handicap after a chosen week, that week will be unknown to prevent any sandbagging, if you have a USGA handicap and want to use it you are welcome to give us that information for it.
Ties – If any match ends in a tie then each team will be awarded 4-1/2 points during the regular season for the match. During the playoffs the teams will move into sudden death by playing an alternate shot format until a hole is won.
End of Season Playoffs – The top 4 teams will go into a 2-week playoff. 1st Seed will play 4th Seed and 2nd Seed will play 3rd Seed. The winner of both will go on to play in the Championship match the following week and the losers will play the following week to decide 3rd place.
