Q9Golf League
- Q9 League Launch - 30 September annually
- Inaugural year 2018 - Launch of Q9Golf until 31 August 2019
- World Super Series Finals are played during November each year
- 6 divisions
- 3 finalists per handicap division
- Zone finals - 18 x 10 zones progress to the National finals

- The season is played over a 10-month period when the weather is good and daylight is available to complete 9 holes of golf between the hours of 3-6pm or as stipulated by a Q9Golf member club. For example, Cape Town may allow for Q9Golf to be played from 7-9pm during summer and in Gauteng it may be from 3-5pm or in Kwazulu-Natal from 4-6pm.
Structure of Q9Golf
Each competition is over either the front 9 or the back 9 of one golf course on a designated Q9Golf day - 2 matches per day. Tee times are booked on the website in the designated slots as a normal playing program for the club. Check your local course for their Q9Golf days.
Each competition is over 9 holes demanding a strategic, sharper, faster and more accurate round. Scoring is Individual Stableford and according to the course stroke ratings. However, because you are placed according to handicap divisions, and your best 3 scores on each of the front and back nine per season count, scoring is fair and equally competitive.
Six (6) Personal Best Individual Qualifying Scores each Season
Every season your 6 best rounds (3 front 9 and 3 back 9) will count to keep you at the top of the leader board in your division, so you can keep competing until the last round of the season. The Top 3 of each division in your club will go through to the Zone Finals.
Entries will be in six divisions:
Division A: 0 - 5
Division B: 6-10
Division C: 11-15
Division D: 16-20
Division E: 21-25
Division F: 25-30 maximum (higher handicaps may play off a 30).
This is the very best in the modern world of sport where limited time demands a faster shorter version of the game, while still retaining the purity of the sport and providing a reason to play and compete. But this time around Q9Golf rewards amateurs for playing consistent great golf according to the amateur rules.
With 6 divisions, and 3 finalists per division, every player at every club has the opportunity to qualify for a zone final.
- Eighteen (18) golfers per club (3 per division) go through to the zone finals
- Eighteen golfers from each zone final (3 per division) go through to the national finals
- 18 golfers from the national final plus 6 wildcards (4 per division advance to the world finals
The winners in each division at the national finals and wildcards are flown return and hosted at the Q9Golf World Super Series Championship. T&C’s apply – see rules.
Q9Golf Score Verification
Golfers are advised to check the scores of their 4-ball after this period against the scores they have recorded on their signed scorecard. If a different score has been entered, a player is requested to report the discrepancy immediately through the True Score Tab on the website.
Q9Golf will immediately confirm with all golfers in the 4-ball on the day and if it is proved in the majority that an incorrect score has been entered the player will be disqualified immediately with no refunds on any round played.
Q9Golf True Scoring
Each player in every Q9Holf Competition over 9 holes will be required to score the other three golfers. At the end of the round each player will sign the card of one other player after ensuring that all scores recorded are the same.
Golfers then have 48 hours to enter their score after which it will be penalized by 2 shots. Forty-eight (48) hours is calculated from midnight on the day played. e.g. Play on Wednesday anywhere in the country and the 48 hours expire at Midnight on Friday.
