The 2nd annual Delhi GC league completed its league stages during which twenty teams were divided into four groups of five teams each and played four round robin matches per team. The tournament is set to conclude this week with the quarter finals, semi finals and finals scheduled on alternate dates.
At the end of the group matches or league stage, the top two teams in terms of total points scored move into the quarter finals or knock out stage this week.
The finals will be played on Saturday Oct 22nd.
Each team consists of twenty players of which fourteen players would play each match day with every player mandatorily participating in at least one match.
Matches were played in the four ball better ball matchplay format with seven pairs of players playing each match day.
For each game, the winning pair earned two points for their team score. When a match ended, the remaining holes were played for a bye worth half a point. Hence all pairs had to complete 18 holes.
The format proved a big hit and participation and team spirit reached an all time high as the event has been firmly established as a mainstay of the club annual golf tournament calendar.
Similar to other club leagues around the country, teams have been able to source their own sponsors and co-sponsors and therefore multiple collaborations and partnerships have enabled sharing of ownership of the teams.
