Team Play
Papago WGA now competes in two Team Play Leagues: Valley and East Valley. For more information, contact Valley Team Captain Pier Flemming or
East Valley Team Captain Sally Chambliss. Sign-ups for each team event will be via email from Captains.
Valley Team holds 9 matches during the season, where 8 teams of 10 players each compete in four-ball matches. Over the course of the season, each club hosts an event (host does not play in that event), and each club plays against every other club. Gross and Net points are accumulated for each match, and 3 prizes are awarded at the end of the season: Overall Gross, Overall Net, and Overall Combined.
Handicap strokes are allotted, adjusted off the lowest handicap player in each four-ball match. The maximum allowable course handicap for players competing is 25.
