League

2021 Summer League

Attention Disc Golfers.  This year's disc golf season is underway.  It's not too late to join.  You can sign up and start playing this week!  Below are some details about this year's league.

When?

We will play on Tuesday evenings at 6 pm, starting in June, and playing until Mid to late September.  We may shift the starting time later in the summer to make sure we finish before dark.

We have introduced a staggered start if needed due to COVID-19 restrictions.  We also allow players to play their round at any time during the week, so long as they have another league member with them when they do.

Who Can Play?

We want to be as inclusive as possible.  Anyone at any skill level can play, but if young children want to play, we ask that their parents take responsibility and that if they want to play with the group, that they adhere to the rules, the same as anyone else.  Our play is relaxed, so if you are a strong player or beginner, we want it to be accessible and fun for all.

Where?

Marsh Pond Park, at the corner of Lorne Ave. and St. Vincent St. In Stratford.

Costs

The cost of joining the league is $35 for the season.  This includes your membership into the Ontario Disc Sports Association and your insurance for league play, along with a custom Stratford Disc Golf T-Shirt (while supplies last).

Format

We post a sign-up on our Facebook group each week.  Each player chooses their group, which is assigned a starting hole and time.  Live scoring is one via the UDisc app.  After play concludes for the week, points are assigned, and the leader board is updated.

Each year the champ (from the previous season) will be given the opportunity to compete in the provincial championships.

Weekly Scoring

• Each week you play you receive 1 point
• You receive an additional point for each registered player who participates whom you outscore (or tie).  So if 15 people play, 1st place gets 15 points, and last place gets one point.
• There is one additional point for a bogie free-front-9, and one for a bogie-free back-9.  If you get a bogie-free round, there is an additional 2 point bonus, for a total of 4 points
• There is a 5-point bonus for an ace or an eagle.
• Your average score is calculated and will serve as the tiebreaker for two players with the same number of leader-board points.

If you’re unable to make it out on a Tuesday evening, you can play a make-up round.  A make-up round must be witnessed by another league member. Players completing a make-up round must do so after league play but before the next week’s play.  Players cannot make up a block of missed weeks in one go, also cannot play multiple rounds and “cherry-pick” one round as the make-up round.
