1. Agreement to Terms
By accessing or using the Battler Golf League (“BGL”) website (thebgl.com.au) and services, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you may not access the service.
2. Eligibility
To participate in BGL seasons, you must:
- Be at least 18 years of age
- Hold a valid Golf Australia handicap between 10 and 36 (inclusive)
- Be an Australian resident or have the right to play in Australia
- Register with a teammate who meets the same eligibility requirements
3. Registration and Fees
The captain pays the entry for the whole team when registering, and that payment secures the team’s spot in the season. Prices include GST. All payments are processed securely by Stripe. Entry fees are non-refundable unless:
- The season does not reach the minimum number of teams required (24 teams per state)
- BGL cancels the season for any reason
- Our Refund Policy allows it
Refunds, where applicable, go back to the original payment method through Stripe.
4. League Rules
All matches are played under the Rules of Golf as defined by the R&A and Golf Australia. BGL-specific rules include:
- Matches are played as 2-person Ambrose match play
- Teams must complete their match within the designated monthly window
- Handicaps are verified before each match using Golf Australia data
- Scores must be entered via the BGL App with both teams signing off
- One substitution per season is permitted
5. Code of Conduct
All participants agree to:
- Play with integrity and sportsmanship
- Respect opponents, course staff, and other golfers
- Adhere to the dress code and rules of the host course
- Not engage in any form of cheating or score manipulation
- Resolve disputes through the BGL App dispute resolution process
BGL reserves the right to disqualify any team or individual for breaches of this code of conduct without refund.
6. Prizes
Season prizes are awarded to the winning team of each state bracket. Prize details are confirmed before entry fees are collected. Prizes are non-transferable and cannot be exchanged for cash. Winners are responsible for any additional expenses not explicitly covered in the prize description.
7. Intellectual Property
The BGL name, logo, and all related content are the property of Battler Golf League. By participating, you grant BGL permission to use your name, likeness, and submitted content (including photos and match highlights) for promotional purposes.
8. Referral Rewards
Every player on a paid team gets their own referral code and link.
- A team that registers with a valid code pays the early bird price, even after the early bird ends
- A referral counts when the referred team pays, and qualifies if that team is still in the league at the end of the season (not refunded or withdrawn)
- Rewards are gift cards: $50 for one qualifying team, $120 for two and $200 for three. More than three is by arrangement with us
- Gift cards are sent after the season ends and cannot be exchanged for cash
- You can’t use your own code, and we may withhold a reward where a referral isn’t genuine, such as the same person paying for both teams
9. Limitation of Liability
BGL is not liable for any injuries, losses, or damages incurred during league play. Participants play at their own risk and are responsible for their own insurance coverage. BGL is not responsible for course conditions, weather-related cancellations, or any issues arising from third-party services.
10. Changes to Terms
BGL reserves the right to modify these terms at any time. Continued participation after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms. Material changes will be communicated via email to registered participants.
