Carolinas PGA Section announces Golf League Championship

LITTLE RIVER, S.C. -- The Carolinas PGA Section, in conjunction with the Golf League Network has developed a plan to bring league play throughout North and South Carolina to a whole new level. Giving leagues the opportunity to be centrally accessed from a new “league” web site, www.CarolinasGolfLeague.com, league golfers will be able to manage their stats, scores, schedules and general league tasks all from the comfort of a home computer.

League play is a great opportunity for golfers to compete and enjoy the game of golf. There are two parts under the umbrella of the Carolinas Golf League Network. Part one consists of individual league golfers and leagues that field less than 20 golfers. This part of the Golf League Network is unique in that it specifically accommodates those leagues that may or may not use pairings, do not have the capacity to complete a nine round season or to field a full 20-person golf league. This also allows for greater flexibility for those smaller leagues that want to have the opportunity to play as a part of the Carolinas Golf League Network, and for those larger leagues that may not necessarily want to compete for a states-wide Championship.

However, an added bonus is the second part, which is the Carolinas Golf League Championship. For those leagues that can field 20 or more golfers in two-person teams, and have a league season of nine 9-hole rounds, there will be the option of competing for the State Championship. Any league that meets these requirements can participate and compete with golfers from all over the Carolinas. The top team in each participating league will be invited to the Carolinas Golf League Championship.

The Carolinas Golf League Network system is inexpensive and makes it easy for everyone from league administrators to substitute players to get out on the course. A registration fee of $25.00 will be taken from each league administrator on behalf of the entire league. Once the league is registered, the cost per team member is $7.50. Requirements for league registration in to the Golf League Championship again, include having at least 20 golfers as well as a minimum nine round schedule. From there, each two – person team will compete as usual, with the goal of making it to the Carolinas Golf League Championship, which will be held in the fall at a world-class golf facility.

The entire Carolinas Golf League Network is a system designed to allow league golfers more control over their day-to-day league operations. It provides a flexible format that allows them to choose their level of competition, and track their own statistics and scores as well as those of other players throughout the Carolinas Golf League Network, similar to a fantasy football league.

Executive Director, Ron Schmid, of the Carolinas PGA Section is excited about the possibilities.

“We really think this will give the public and private golfers throughout the Carolinas who enjoy league play, the chance to compete with each other in a friendly, fun environment with a great system in place to back up their data and manage their leagues.

It’s going to be a great way to develop rounds for our member Professionals and will also take some of the pressure off of league administrators in handling day-to-day league operations.”
