# A winter golf league for your group, online

https://9daily.golf/guides/winter-golf-league · Updated 11 November 2026 · 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.

**In short**

- A 9Daily winter league is a free league: a name and a link, up to 50 players.
- Everyone plays the same nine-hole course each day, in a few minutes in the browser, and one round a day counts.
- Each week, Monday to Sunday, the league crowns a champion: whoever wins the most days.
- The league history counts the weekly titles. Most titles at the end of March wins the winter.

## How does a 9Daily winter league work?

- **Nov · Start:** Create a free 9Daily league, name it, for example “Winter Cup”, and post the link in the group.
- **Daily · Play:** Everyone plays the day’s nine holes. One round a day counts, on the same course for all.
- **Mon · Champion:** Every Monday 9Daily crowns last week’s champion and adds the title to the league history.
- **Mar · 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.

**Example** · ✓ Day won · • Played · – No round

| | Mon | Tue | Wed | Thu | Fri | Sat | Sun | ✓ |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Anna (League champion) | ✓ | ✓ | • | – | ✓ | • | ✓ | 4 |
| Ben | • | ✓ | ✓ | • | • | – | • | 2 |
| Clara | • | – | • | ✓ | • | ✓ | – | 2 |
| David (Wooden spoon) | • | • | – | • | • | • | • | 0 |

## 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](https://9daily.golf/guides/off-season-golf).

## 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](https://9daily.golf/guides/golf-league).
