GOLF LEAGUES

2024 ATLANTA ATHLETIC CLUB’S FALL FLYING EAGLES GOLF LEAGUE Fall Registration will open around June 1st! What is the AAC Flying Eagles Golf League? • The AAC Flying Eagles Golf League is designed to bring a “Little League” atmosphere to the game of golf. With teams of boys and girls ages 8 - 11, AAC’s Flying Eagles Golf League provides a structured league environment for young golfers to compete and have fun! This is a great way to get, and keep, kids involved in the game! • In AAC’s Flying Eagles Golf League, the focus is to have fun playing golf with your friends. Teams want to win, but the stress often associated with individual medal play tournaments is eliminated by the low-pressure formats and the camaraderie of playing on a team with your friends. Our goal is to foster an enjoyment of the game that will last a lifetime. • Flying Eagles is an inclusive program that encourages all skill levels. We suggest that players have a basic level of competence in at least one discipline; driving, chipping or putting, before joining the league. All formats provide a comfort zone for the developing player. How Does Flying Eagles Golf League Work? • The Atlanta Athletic Club will accept up to 40 entries. Practices will begin on Tuesday, August 6th at either 4:00 pm or 5:15 pm. Families may request a specific practice time to help accommodate schedules, but all requests may not be honored. Practices will also take place on Saturday mornings at 9:00 am or 10:15 am, following the same structure as the Tuesday practices. • These teams will continue to practice on Tuesday afternoons, and then will begin competing in weekly matches beginning Saturday, August 24th. The matches will take place on the AAC Par 3 Course. The format is a determined based on the skill level of the competitors. It will often be a scramble or a “modified best ball.” All formats are designed to teach the basics and encourage loving the game. The team that accumulates the most points in a season will be the League Champions.
