Guides · Winter league
Winter has a table now.
Updated · by the 9Daily team, Berlin
From November to March most golf groups barely play. A 9Daily league keeps the competition going: a new nine-hole course every day, the same for everyone, a champion every week and a table of titles until the season starts again.
How does a 9Daily winter league work?
-
Start
Create a free 9Daily league, name it, for example “Winter Cup”, and post the link in the group.
-
Play
Everyone plays the day’s nine holes. One round a day counts, on the same course for all.
-
Champion
Every Monday 9Daily crowns last week’s champion and adds the title to the league history.
-
Winter champion
At the end of March, the most weekly titles wins the winter.
Who wins a week in the 9Daily winter league?
Each day in a 9Daily league goes to the fewest strokes on the day’s course, and a shared day counts for everyone who shares it. The week goes to whoever wins the most days; on a tie the better average decides.

Who wins the winter in a 9Daily league?
The league history lists every weekly champion of a 9Daily league and shows who has the most titles. Start early in November and agree when the winter ends, for example the last Sunday in March.

Why does a winter league keep a golf group together?
Between November and March the courses are wet, cold or closed, and many groups stop meeting. A 9Daily league gives the group a reason to write every day and something to settle in spring. More on the quiet months: golf in the off-season.
Ideas for a winter league in your golf group
- Spring prize
- The winter champion picks the first tee time of the season, or the others pay the first green fee.
- Monday card
- Send Monday’s 9Daily week card to the chat: the champion, the wooden spoon and a new week with everyone on zero.
- Practice
- Practice replays past 9Daily courses. Two practice rounds a day are free, and practice never counts.
- Club winter cup
- A 9Daily league holds up to 50 players, so bigger clubs start one per group: a golf league for your club.
