The Bull Golf League
Welcome to the 4th Annual Bull Golf League. Our foundation has been asked many times over the years to consider running a weekly golf league throughout the summer, so this is in response to those requests. In 2024, the league will include 16 players.
Location & Dates
The Bull Golf League will be run at Easton Country Club in Easton, Massachusetts on Monday evenings. The league will commence on Monday, April 22nd. All players will be assigned in foursomes, and the Commissioners will assign quotas based on 2023 performance. Once the round is completed, the
Commissioners will conduct the in-person draft of teams for the 2024 season. If rainouts occur, the league will extend the 15 week season as needed. No play will take place on Monday, June 17th as we conduct the Sixteenth Annual Gary DiNardo Memorial Golf Tournament at Agawam Hunt Country Club, or on Monday, July 4th in honor of Independence Day. League play will take place on all other Mondays between April 22nd and August 19th.
Scoring
The League play schedule will be conducted as follows:
- April 22nd, April 29th, May 6th, May 13th, and May 20th will each be played according to Stableford rules, and teams will remain as selected in the live draft.
- May 27th will be a bye week for all players, as we observe Memorial Day.
- June 3rd will be played in Ryder Cup format, based on teams selected by the Commissioners. There will be two teams of eight players each, and the teams will play three holes in Scramble format; three holes in Alternate Shot format; and three holes in Best Ball format. All scoring will be done in match play format, and Commissioners will update on all specifics associated.
- June 10th will begin the second half of the Stableford league.
- June 17th will be a bye week for all players, as we conduct the 16th Annual Gary DiNardo Memorial Golf Tournament
- June 24th league play resumes
- July 1st, July 8th, July 15th, and July 22nd to complete the second half of the Stableford League.
- July 29th will be played in Ryder Cup format, using the same two eight-man teams as selected by the Commissioners earlier in the year. This format will be nine-holes of head-to-head play, all scored in match-play format. Again, Commissioners will update on all specifics associated.
- August 5th, August 12th and August 19th will be played in a Round-Robin Playoff format, to determine winning teams of the league. Teams will be seeded according to completion of the ten weeks of Stableford play, and the Commissioners will update on all specifics.
- August 26th, September 2nd, September 9th will all be held as rain dates (even though September 2nd is Labor Day, play will resume if needed.
- Friday, September 16th will be the planned date for the final golf round of the league, and the banquet to follow. If rain dates are not required, this date will be moved back to the last week of play.
Tee Times
The league has the tee reserved each Monday from 3:40 – 5:10, foursomes will be assigned upon arrival at course. All players must sign in at the pro shop, but no payments are made.
Polo Shirts
Each player will receive a Bull Golf Polo, which is encouraged to be worn at play each week; will qualify for year-end prizes for first-place team in won-loss records and first-place team in quantitative quota scoring; and is invited to a year-end barbeque where prizes will be given and the season will be concluded.
Payment Options
The Bull Golf League will offer all participants two payment options. All payments are to be made via this website at the link provided below:
- Full Payment: Full payment of the league for the entire season. This is a payment of $750, which includes the $110 entry fee; a per week league dues; and a per week greens fee. If a participant chooses this option, please make payment in full via this site prior to April 22nd. If this option is selected, the player simply plays each week, and does not have any further financial commitment, unless they wish to rent a cart at the course in any given week. They simply sign in at the pro shop and go to the first tee to start play.
- Partial Payment: Participant pays $250 by February 28th, March 31st and April 22nd respectively. All other things remain the same as Option One.
All league finances, and all league administration will be conducted by the Board of Directors of the Foundation. Once payment options are met by each participant, they simply come to the course on a Monday, sign in at the pro shop, and commence play with a group they put together on the tee.
If a participant is unable to attend in a given week for league play, there will be a list of alternate players, with their phone information and email address to contact. It will be the responsibility of the participant to get one of the alternate players to substitute for them, but if none are able, the participant will earn a -2 quota score for that given week. No refunds are paid to players who miss a week, so financially the monies paid are sunk costs. Therefore, as can be seen, it behooves the player and his team, to participate each and every week. And, if they cannot play for whatever reason, they owe it to their teammates to get an alternate to play in their stead.
