GPL 2019
The promise of change and change is what we have done. The 2019 GPL will be an all inclusive game and we aim for it to be for the rest of its existence. (we hope)
The Golf Premier League was first introduced to SCGC in 2016 and has since been a highlight to most peoples calendar.
Below are some explanations of how the game will be run.
Everyone will be assigned a House Colour.
This is a bit like Harry Potter, we won’t put the hat on you to find out what sort of person you are but be sure to pick the right colour house – YOU HAVE UNTIL THE 6th of MAY or you will be AUTO ASSIGNED. All new people to the club will be auto assigned a house colour to keep teams even in number. Only rules will be on the application to where they can pick on their application. Timesheets are below. Names have been put in for those who have been in a house before, those yet to… get booking. You can change teams too. No hard feelings, we know most want to be in the Blue House.
No Entry Fee
You are member you will be in a house colour, no fee, but lots of fun.
Wear your team colours
Polos and caps will be available for order and the main colour of the polo and cap will be your house colour. Official merchandise can only be done through the golf shop and if you wish for your score to not be reduced then you must wear your house colour on the day (clarify you can just wear the colour it doesn’t have to be official merchandise – note the logos are the clubs property hence it cannot be used in anyway without permission – but that doesn’t stop you from playing in a blue shirt with no logo on it). Caps and Polos will be available for purchase on initial order after that mechanise will be available and will run into multiple years hence buy once and let it last. We ask you do get behind the official polos since it will add to the atmosphere of the day.
There will be special bonuses through the year for those who wear the offical merchandise. Cheap beer and bonus winnings on the Saturday’s are just a couple of examples.
Details to come.
No Prizes – other than glory!
With no entry fee there is no prizes. We hope to get sponsors through the year to send some stuff our way for the winning teams but we hope the challenge of the team game and the trophy at the end is enough to make you all motivated.
Player of the Year will still be and we will add Best and Fairest for teams, and premiers will be first to be awarded but prizes will be as they become available from sponsorship.

Top 8 Scores will count
I have been back and forth to how scores will work and the best I can come up with for this year will be top 8 of each team. 30-50 players per team then 8 should be fine. We won’t know until we try it.
Begins on the 25th of May 2019 and continues once per month until April 2020 – details to come – get your name down or suffer the auto assignment.
Are you in a team that you don’t like? then change… are you not in a team? then book…. if your name is not there come the 6th of May, it will be, so book with your friend’s and make sure you smile :) always smile. xx
