About

The League

Fun, welcoming, at times hostile — and always competitive.

BLACKOUTMKE Golf League exists to provide a fun, welcoming, at times hostile, and competitive league where you can enjoy time drinking, playing golf with friends, and taking your frustrations out on a beautifully manicured patch of land. We aim to represent the pureness of golf — one shotgun at a time.

Founded by Michael King, the BGL is a one-person-team league: just you, your handicap, and whatever you talked yourself into on the first tee.

The basics

· Annual league dues are $50, due before the season tees off.
· You must be a Pro Status member of TheGrint app ($39.99/yr) — it tracks every score and your official USGA handicap.
· Play is handicap-based, so being bad actually works in your favor (30 handicap max per tournament).
· Only your top 4 tournaments plus the season-ending Tour Championship count toward your final tally.
· Course and cart fees are on you the day you play.

Majors & the Black Jacket

The Amateurs Tournament and the Orlando Open Championship are the league's two majors. Win the Amateurs and you take home the coveted BLACKOUTMKE Black Jacket.

Payouts

· 1st place — 50% of the season pot.
· 2nd place — 25% of the season pot.
· 3rd place — $40 back to cover your TheGrint membership.

House rules

· Tee-shot mulligans are allowed — but only after a shotgun.
· Don't clear the ladies' tees? Shotgun before your next shot.
· Everyone shotguns at the turn, before teeing off on #10.
· Max score on any hole is 4-over — pick up and keep it moving.
· $5 closest-to-the-pin challenge on the last par 3.

And seriously — never drink and drive.

Officers
