HOW IT WORKS
The BDO National Golf League regular season is a Net Stableford points competition that’s built seamlessly into your existing league experience—so all you need to focus on is bringing your A-game.
During the regular season, your club will designate six weeks of your traditional league nights as BDO National Golf League Majors.
You will play in your league nights as you always have and the BDO National Golf League will pull your best four 9 hole net scores from the 6 major weeks.
Those scores will count toward your ranking on the BDO National Golf League Leaderboard within your local league and the season-long points race to determine.
Qualifiers from each league advance to the Provincial Championship to compete for an all expense paid trip to BDO National Golf League Championship.

Throughout September and October, over 18 holes at premium facilities across Canada, participants will face off against the best of the best from other leagues in their region for a chance to advance to the BDO National Golf League Championship.
