VIRTUAL FAIRWAYS SEASON 7
Starts the Week of January 12, 2025

LEAGUE INFO:
The Virtual Fairway’s Golf League has a format of 2-person team play. $250 per player and you sign up on our website www.virtualfairwaysohio.com. The INDIVIDUAL TEAM will register to play their 9 holes at any time during operating hours Sunday-Thursday. Scores are done in a best ball match play format. One point per hole won and if a tie happens on a hole, then both teams are awarded a ½ point. There is also an additional point awarded to whichever team has the lowest combined net overall score over par. That makes 10 points possible a match. You will more than likely not play with your weekly opponent; your scorecards will determine the winner of the match. Your first week you will have one hour to practice and one hour for your week one 9-hole round. The first round is practice getting used to the simulators.

The second round is your first week of the season. You will play a 10-week season with all your points being added every week. At the end of week 10, the top 4 teams will face off in a semifinal match and then the championship match for the winners of the semifinal. We will have a calendar with your opponent every week as well as the results posted in Virtual Fairways and shared with every player via email. The results for the week will be available on Saturday every week starting week 3.

The INDIVIDUAL TEAM will register to play their 9 holes at any time during operating hours Sunday-Thursday.

Scores will be broken down in 3 holes increments. Whichever teammate scores the lowest on each hole, we will use their score. Every 3 holes, you will have a winner, so the max number of points you can win in a match is 3. If a tie happens in those 3 holes, then both teams are awarded a ½ point.

You will more than likely not play with your weekly opponent; your scorecards will determine the winner of the match.

Your first week you will play two 9- hole rounds. The first round is a practice round to get used to the simulators. The second round is your first week of the season. You will play a 10-week season with a mid (week 5) champion and an end (week 10) champion. These 2 will face each in week 11 to determine an overall league champion.

We will have a calendar with your opponent every week as well as the results. The results will be posted at Virtual Fairway’s, on social media, as well as shared with every player via text. The results for the week will be available Friday evening every week starting week 3.
