ABOUT STUDENTS GOLF LEAGUE
The Students Golf League is an annual membership experience built for golfers who thrive on team competition. It's a home for brotherhood, fellowship, and camaraderie among golf sickos and lifelong Students of the game.
The League is limited to just 96 players across 8 teams, with each season kicking off through a live player draft. Throughout the season, players compete not only for team glory, but also in a season-long Low Net Stroke Play leaderboard... giving every round and every stroke another opportunity to climb the rankings and earn individual bragging rights.
Just think Ryder Cup shrunk into 18 holes.
