League kicks off with some fantastic matches
Back Nine Golf is once again providing a competitive avenue for keen golfers via The 2025/26 Monday Night League.
Following on from the success of our inaugural season, the Stableford scramble team competition, which started on November 10th, involves weekly matches at Back Nine Golf in Guiseley and Otley.
The latest results and standings are listed below.
HOW IT WORKS
OVERVIEW
6 teams playing in 2 divisions – one based in Otley and the other in Guiseley – will play 3-person stableford scramble matches in a league format. The winner of each match is the one that accumulates the most stableford points and they will earn themselves 3 league points. In the event of a draw, both sides will gain one league point while losing teams will score 0 league points.
FORMAT
3-person stableford scramble. Competing players must have an official WHS handicap and it must be viewable before every match. Tees used will be the second longest on each course (men) while ladies will play off the ladies tees or ones identified as ladies tees by competition organisers. Teams can change team members as and when but can not use more than 6 different players in a season. Please note there will be no putting and the number of putts will be fixed by distance…
• 0-10 feet: 1 putt
• 10-65 feet: 2 putts
• 65 feet plus: 3 putts
MATCHES
Every match will start at 7pm in Guiseley and Otley and conclude when each team has finished 18 holes. There will be 5 rounds of matches and the fixtures are listed below. Each round will have a different course and all matches will be played under identical conditions…
• Green speed: 8
• Greens: soft
• fairways: Normal
• Wind: Calm (no higher than 5mph)
OVERALL WINNER
The two divisional champions will meet in the Grand Final on March 23th, 2026 while the respective runners-up, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th placed teams also meeting at the end of the season. The team with the most league points will finish top of each division and in the event of teams finishing level on points, league table positions will be decided on total match points across the season.
PRIZES
The overall winners will receive free entry into next year’s event. The members of losing finalists will each get a £30 peak time voucher for Back Nine Golf.
