The league

About

Five friends. Nine holes. A different format every Friday, for 52 weeks.

How it works

  • Four play, one films. Every week one of the five is behind the camera and the round becomes an episode.
  • Director's Credit. The filmer is awarded the field average of points for the day, so picking up the camera never costs anyone the standings.
  • True handicaps, net scoring. Strokes are allocated by hole stroke index, so anyone can win on any given Friday.
  • Rotating formats. The schedule cycles through 12 game types across the season.
  • Four majors. All five play, points are tripled (30/20/14/9/5) and the winner takes a bonus.
