WLGA Annual Awards Guidelines 

 

 

The Woodmont Ladies Golf Association consists of two organized leagues and three play days:

  • 18 Hole League
    • Tuesday/Thursday Play Days
    • Saturday Play Days
  • 9 Hole League
    • Tuesday/Thursday Play Days

 

Prizes are awarded at our End-of-Season Dinner in these categories:

Most Improved (1 per league), Ringer Award (2 per league), Match Play (2 per flight) and Player of the Year (1 per league).

 

The following criteria will be used to determine the winners of these awards:

  • Most Improved Awards – One 9 hole award and one 18 hole award goes to the players who have the most improved handicap, as determined by the GSGA handicap program.  The improvement will be determined from the handicaps at the beginning of league play until the last play day of that year. 
  • Ringer Awards – 2 awards per league are awarded - On league play days, gross scores for each hole are recorded on a card provided by the coordinators.  Only the improved score on each hole is recorded after play, on play days. The player’s end-of-season handicap is subtracted from the total of the lowest scores recorded on each of the 18 holes.  There will be an award presented for the best low net and best low gross scores of each league (9 holes and 18holes). A total of 4 awards will be presented.
  • Match Play – 2 awards per flight.  Flights are based on handicap and based on the number of players that sign up to play that season. Match Play is played following standard Match Play rules.  The player that wins the most points in their flight takes 1st place and the 2nd place is awarded to the 2nd place player in that flight and so on for the next one or two flights. The award money is based on how much the players have paid to play (the pool) added to the amount that is established in that year’s budget and then the pool plus budget fund is combined and distributed among the winners.

 

 

  • Player of the Year – One 9 hole award and one 18 hole award. Points are earned during the year, based on a player’s participation in WLGA and club sponsored events, including play days, tournaments, special events, team play, and volunteer/leadership opportunities.  Point allocations are set by the Board at the beginning of the season and the award is made at the end of the playing season.
  • Eligibility – Player must be a member of Woodmont Golf and Country Club and the WLGA.  To be eligible for end-of-year prizes in a league, a member must play a minimum number of 5 times in either the 9-hole or 18-hole league play days.

A member, who has won an award, then becomes ineligible to win that same award in the other league.  If a member qualifies to win the same award in more than one league, she will receive the award in the league in which she has declared at the beginning of the season.
