LPGA Amateur Golf Association New York City
offers 18 and 9 hole leagues throughout the golf season.
9-Hole League
The 9-Hole League is geared for beginners and advanced beginners who don't have a handicap, may have limited on-course playing experience ot just prefer 9 holes instead of 18. Golfers cap off the end of each season with a fun brunch!
18-Hole League
The 18-Hole League is for more advanced players who have a handicap and are looking to play on a regular basis.
- No Maximum Handicap Requirement - you must have a handicap established to register for the 18-hole league, however, there is no maximum cutoff as in the past.
- Traveling League - means we alternate courses each week throughout the tri-state area. Courses may repeat throughout the season, just not in a row.
- Substitutions - we have a great substitute program! If you want to play and know a date or two won’t work, not to worry as we always have a large substitute list and it’s easy to do!
- Transportation: Those with cars have been generous and will accommodate as many riders as there is room. Occasionally there may not be enough drivers so please realize that you may need to work with others in the league to lease a car for the day.
- Costs - we are cost sensitive and will try to keep the cost of the rounds as reasonable as possible.
- Competitive - we host some sort of friendly competition each week to make it fun. So bring your competitive spirit!
Golf and Go
Golf and Go provides our members with additional opportunities to play together. It is less formal and smaller than Chapter Outings and uses a wider variety of courses compared to Open Play and the 18-Hole League.
Golf and Go is scheduled in months when there are no Outings and does not have formal prizes or catering. Informal competitive games or games between the groups may be included. Courses used for Golf and Go include Pound Ridge Golf Club, New York Country Club, and Rock Spring Golf Club.
If you are interested in volunteering for Golf and Go, or other events, please contact Ellen Halstead or Wonjung Sang, Golf Event Directors at info@lpgaamateursnyc.com.
Pace of Play Guidelines
1. Play ready golf from tee to green. The player who is ready first, hits first (as long as it's safe to do so).
2. Limit the number of practice swings to one per shot.
3. Pick up after your total strokes on a hole equals double par: 6 strokes on a Par 3, 8 strokes on a Par 4, 10 strokes on a Par 5. But pick up sooner if you are delaying play.
4. Putts, "whiffs" and any penalty strokes count toward the double par maximum.
5. On the green, the player whose ball is closest to the pin should mark her ball and then remove or tend the flag; the first person to hole out should walk to the flag and be ready to replace it after everyone holes out.
6. After you finish the hole, leave the green immediately. Proceed to the next tee box and then record your score from the last hole.
