HOW IT WORKS
The System
Battler Golf League isn't a single-day event. It's a six-month league designed to fit around your life. One match per month, at any local track, whenever suits you and your opponents.
1
Grab Your Mate
Register as a two-person team before entries close. Pick your region, fill in your details, and you're in. We confirm prizes and destinations, then reach out when subs are due.
2
Get Your Fixture
The app generates your six-match schedule. One match per month, three home, three away. Lock in dates with your opponents as far ahead as you like.
3
Pick The Course
Home team chooses the track. Away team gets to play somewhere new. Everyone pays their own green fees, but away teams could score members rates.
4
Live App-Run Scoring
Confirm your handicaps. One player from each team enters scores hole-by-hole. Strokes auto-calculated for a level playing field. Sign off at the end, just like MiScore.

Every match counts. Win prizes along the way and climb the leaderboard. Track your stats, follow the competition, and build your path to finals.

Awards & Finals
League-wide awards handed out after the regular season. Top 4 teams play semi-finals and finals in month 7. Grand prize details announced soon.
MATCH FORMAT
2v2 Ambrose, Match Play
Every match is a 2v2 Ambrose (Scramble) played as match play over 18 holes. It's the format that keeps golf social, competitive, and fair, no matter your handicap.
Ambrose (Scramble)
Both players tee off every hole. Your team picks the best ball, and both play from there. Simple, social, and takes the pressure off individual shots.
Match Play Scoring
Holes are won, lost, or halved based on net scores after handicap strokes. Full 18 holes always played because hole differential matters for league standings.
Handicaps
Must be between 10 and 36 (Golf Australia). Self-reported per match. Strokes auto-calculated in the app using a universal stroke index.
Tee Shot Rule
Each player must have their tee shot used at least 6 times across 18 holes. The app tracks this automatically so nobody's left out.
Substitutes
One sub per team per season. Your replacement must have a valid GA handicap between 10 and 36. Use it wisely.
Disputes & Forfeits
Both teams sign off on scores after each match. Any disputes go to BGL admin for final ruling. Blocking teams risk forfeiting.
LEAGUE STRUCTURE

6-Month Season
Each league runs over 6 months with one match per month, plus finals in month 7. Leagues are capped at 24–64 teams per state.

Points System
