Teams & Draft

Each player submits one captain vote. The two players with the most votes become captains — Oak Dicks and Pine Pricks.

The draft is held Thursday July 9 after league play concludes at the Lima CC restaurant.

All players must have a tracked handicap (GHIN, app, or league minimum) — captains use this to draft.
