Here is the "fine print" that golf league signups must know: 

1.   All players sign up for our leagues individually and the league starter for each league will group players onto teams. (Spouses or couples can request to be on the same team, but it’s not guaranteed). Your tee times aren’t fixed each week, you play when you show up (within the allotted tee-time span). You play with other OSC golfers that sign-in the clubhouse at the OSC table or the league manager pairs golfers together when you arrive. But we still keep score and tally everyone's scores each week for competitive standings.

2.   All golfers pay for league fees in advance. You get 15 or 16 weeks of golf (depending on the league), year-end prizes and a golf-banquet after the season has ended (in mid-September). All league golfers are invited, not just winners.

3.   All signups begin March 1 with the March issue of the Sportscaster. Sorry no phone applications or IOUs, but you can pay for everything online.

4.   A 50% deposit (minimum) per person is required with each mail-in application and the balance is due on the first week of play. (No refunds after the first week of play unless there are others waiting to fill your spot).

5.   Some leagues have a limit to the number of applications, I will try to get everyone in the league they want, but it’s first come, first served. Deadline is April 30.

6.   The most important rule … You must be a member of the Omaha Sports Club! If you aren’t a member please make it easy on me (and membership) and write separate checks when you sign up. Or, pay online (separate transactions). If you were a member last year and haven’t renewed, we still need a signed membership application for the 2011 season (this includes anyone who is asked to sub). Renew your membership online.

7.   Regular season league golfers that can’t play during their scheduled league nights are required to find a “substitute” golfer. I might suggest that you use a fellow OSC member on our list of subs. A sub list is given to all league golfers on the first week of league play. (See your league starter for all subbing details).

8.   Subs are allowed to play a maximum eight weeks through the entire year, no more.
