Page 2 Men s League Purpose of the League The league was started for the purpose of promoting friendship and fellowship.

Every third week teams will play against the field in the quota point game. Each team of two will play with another team of two but will NOT be playing a match against each other, but instead against the rest of the field. Quota points will be the team total.

8 Family Tees Our family tees are designed to show juniors that golf is a game of score and that score is based around achievable distances to holes. These tees will also help juniors understanding that golf should be played at a particular pace. When juniors are playing the correct tee, they should be able to play the course in less then four hours. The correct tees also shows junior that the majority of shots in golf are short shots. If they are using the correct tee length, they will hit many short game shots and putts. This way juniors will see the benefits of practicing their short game. Juniors should play a certain yardage until they can shoot under par from them regularly. Then they can move back to a yardage that adds more length. There will be a scorecard for the family tees, and a plate in the fairway that will represent were to tee off from.
