PGDGC Handicap League

The PGDGC Handicap League is a weekly Wednesday night league that allows players of all skill levels to be competitive. Scores are adjusted each night based on individual player handicaps, which are determined from your previous rounds (including last season!). Players receive points based on their finishing position after handicaps are accounted for, meaning anyone can win!!

The PGDGC league is open for club members, so please sign up here if you have not already. Please note that the handicap league is open to ages 16 and up, and the league runs from May through August.

How Do I Enter?

First-time players may register in person before the start of any league event through the season. New players will need to play just one round to establish their handicap which will then continue to adjust over the course of the season. All players are always eligible for ace pots, and are eligible for payouts once they have a handicap. Our club uses the UDisc app for scoring our league events, so please be ready to use this for checking in before the event – if you are unsure, there are always club members available to help the night of the event but please show up early enough to allow time for this.

Entry fee for players with a handicap: $5 per round plus $1 for the optional ace pot – if you do not opt in, you are not eligible to receive prize money for an ace hit that round! Opting in must be done before starting the round. The entry fee is divided as follows:

$1 to the club (for CTP and nightly prizes)
$1 to season payouts
$3 to the nightly payout

How are payouts determined?

With the entry fee as described above, payouts depend on the number of players that play in the league that night. Payouts will be according to the following table:

Season Points and Bag Tags

Each week that a player participates in the league, they will be eligible to receive points towards the season, based on how many players they beat on that particular night. Only the top 8 of a players season point scores will be kept, so it is ok if you miss a night or two throughout the season. Season payouts are made on a similar scale to the nightly payouts, depending on the season payout pot and the number of players that have showed up to tags throughout the season.

Brand new in 2026 we are introducing numbered Bag Tags! Bag Tags offer a way for members to challenge each other to a test of skills to see who ranks where within the club. This is a fun way to get to know other members, and adds a fun element to those casual rounds. If you’re not familiar with the rules of bag tag challenges, please take the time to read up on it below. This will help everyone out, especially in group shuffles. At the end of the league season, we will meet up one last time to battle it out and see who walks away with the number one tag once the dust settles! Club Memberships include an official PGDGC bag tag. 

Bag tags are sequentially numbered from 1 to 100, with the number 1 tag being the golden tag, or the most desired tag. Each league night before play, players will hand in their bag tag to the ‘pot’. Following the round, tags will be distributed according to scores (handicap included) with the best score receiving the lowest tag number in the pot that night. Players that do not yet have a tag will receive the next lowest available tag at the beginning of the round. Ties are broken by the player who brings the lower tag to the round.

General PGDGC Bag Tag Rules:

  1. Everyone must obey the rules of the course, and act honestly and honourably.
  2. The default format and the general concept of bag tag play is head-to-head or within a playing group. 
  3. PDGA rules apply. Discretionary rules including the 2 meter rule are decision of the lowest tag holder.
  4. Players are encouraged to have their tag visible on their bag at all times.
  5. A player is required to have their bag tag in their possession to play a bag tag match.
  6. Playing for tags during a league round is mandatory.
  7. Playing for tags during a casual round with friends is optional, and players must decide beforehand if tags will be on the line or not. Handicaps are not considered during casual play unless agreed upon beforehand by all players.
  8. Bag tags will be handed out sequentially following the initial league night. 
  9. When a tag is lost, the number is dropped from the standings. Replacement tags are available for $20 (if numbers allow).
