Division 9 (9 Hole League) Weds

Division 9 – 9 Hole League playing Wednesdays is looking for NEW members and players!

Conducts one or two nine-hole tournaments at Riverside Golf Club every Wednesday. Registration for weekly play is accomplished through GolfLeague.Us just as it is for Div. 1 -5, but you do need to be registered as a Div.9 member to access the Division 9 website and Tee Sheet. Play is typically scheduled between 6:30 and 8:30 am, but sometimes is adjusted for sunrise or weather considerations. Tournament play begins typically in mid-March and runs through mid-November.

Weekly Tournament Competition

Riverside Golf Course is flat and contained, and typically set up for approximately 2,500 yards for each nine hole tournament. The Division 9 Tournament Competition is on the front and/or back nine holes. But you may pay for, and play, for as many holes as you like.

For any given week, depending on the signup, there will be two to six flights with prize money awarded for 1st ($6 minimum) and 2nd ($4 minimum) in each flight with $5 Closest to the Pin awards. Unlike Div. 1-5, where registration fees are used to fund the prize pool, Div. 9’s prize pool is funded with a $1 entry fee (collected monthly) for each round you play. Results are posted on the Div. 9 Golf League website and winnings are paid at the end of the season.

Handicaps

Division 9 handicap calculations use the same system as Divisions 1 -5. Although there is a slight difference in the rules for the HC calculation.

• Weekly handicaps in Division 9 are an average of the 4 lowest tournament rounds of the last 7 rounds played, based on 95% of the difference from par. Whereas Div. 1-5 HC calculations are based on the 8 lowest rounds of the last 16 rounds. 

• If you have played at least 3 rounds in Div. 1-5 or 9 combined you will have an established handicap.
• Division 9 handicaps are updated and posted weekly, but these scores are not considered in the HC calculation for Div. 1 -5.
• Since each nine at Riverside has a different slope and rating your HC will vary based upon the side played

Riverside Course Golf Fees (note 2022 rates – subject to change)

• Walking with own cart : $15 for nine or $22 for eighteen holes
• Riding $22 for nine or $27 for eighteen holes .
• Push/pull carts are available for $2 or $4 respectively
