OAKVILLE, Ont. — Golf Canada is launching a National Golf League for recreational players across the country.
NGL will be a countrywide network of existing recreational golf leagues designed to enhance the league experience for participants.
Regular season NGL competition will take place over nine holes during six weeks of identified league play called “NGL Majors” that are integrated into existing league play and scheduled at the convenience of the local league operator.
A golfer’s best four net Stableford point totals of the six NGL Majors will count toward their season-long points total on the national leaderboard.
The league will culminate with the NGL National Championship at Hamilton Golf and Country Club as part of the 2024 RBC Canadian Open tournament week.
NGL will generate charitable support for First Tee Canada, a youth development organization that introduces the game of golf and its values to children and teens.
