WESTLAKE GOLF CLUB – LADIES LEAGUES
WP Golf Ladies League is made up of three Divisions – Scratch League, Silver League and Bronze League.
• Scratch Division has four team players and they play singles matchplay during the first half of the season and foursomes matchplay during the second half. All players must play off scratch but there is a limit of Handicap Index 15.0
• Silver Division has six members per team and this Division is divided into three sections. All play each other within their Section – singles matchplay first half of the season and then four-ball betterball matchplay during the second half. The eight teams from all Sections with the most points at the end of the season are seeded and put into a draw for play-offs of quarters, semis and a final. The Handicap Index limit for Silver is 15.0 or below, although Handicap Index 15 – 19 can play but must play off 15.0 (considering the Course handicap at the club they are playing at)
• Bronze Division has four Sections with six in a team and they play four-ball betterball matchplay throughout the year. Again, like Silver, there are play-offs featuring the top eight teams with the most points, playing quarters, semis and a final. Handicap Index limit is 15.0 or above, also considering the course handicap at the course where they are playing.
All matches are played on one Tuesday per month starting in January and completing in November with the play-offs. Each Section is scheduled to play at a neutral club, although WP Golf league organisers do aim to offer at least one home match for each team during the year.
