Summer Cup Series 2024-25

MDGC is excited to announce the return of the Summer Cup Series for 2024/25. Following the very positive feedback from last year’s event – and building on the tradition started by David Heath with the original Summer Cup in 2019/20 – we are planning more of the same: a series of one-day, two-round, low-cost low-frills PDGA tournaments across December and January. Like last year, we will host them at our regular courses around Melbourne, perhaps with a few extra twists thrown in along the way. Your best events will count towards overall series standings, and we will crown the Summer champions at the end of the series. 

This page should tell you everything you need to know about the events, how to register, and how the series works. But if you do have any questions please contact the individual event organisers (listed on the PDGA pages) or email summercupseries@melbournediscgolf.com

Summer Cup Series Event Dates and Registration

There are currently 5 events scheduled, and we are hoping to add one or two more. The confirmed dates so far and links to register, are below (they are also all listed on the ADG calendar of events):

Registration fees will be low @ $15 for most events, including automatic entry into Ace Pool.

Note that you don’t need to be a PDGA member to be able to play.

Event Prizes

Each event will include 3 or 4 CTB prizes, as well as a handicap prize for the person who plays highest above their rating. (You will need a current PDGA membership and rating to be eligible for this last prize.) All prizes will be $25 MDGC shop vouchers.

There won’t be any individual pries / trophies etc. for event winners. And there will be no Pro payouts either (entry fees will be the same for Pros and Ams).

Ace Pot

Your event fee also includes entry into the Ace Pool. The pot will be topped up for each event, and carried over to the next one if nobody wins it. (If there is more than one on the day it will be shared). If nobody aces at the last event, all Ace Pot money will be added to the overall series prize pool.

At the time of writing, the pot is at $152 for the Hot Start.

Series Standings 

Your performance at all SCS events will count towards your overall series standings. Series standings will be published here once available: TBC.

From each event, the number of points you earn will be equal to your event rating. And your best 3 events count towards the overall series total. For example, if you play 4 events, with event ratings of 800, 850, 880 and 900 then your series points total would be 2630.

Series Divisions

Series standings will be available for all the usual divisions – you’ll automatically be placed into whatever division you play most regularly.

(Note that you can play in a different division but still earn points towards you series total. People might want to change division for more competition, because there aren’t many/any other players in their regular division. This is fine, we will just record the event against your regular division. please let us know if you want to nominate a different division to the one we have you in).

Series Prize Pool

There won’t be any trophies for overall series division winners, however there will be a significant prize pool. All entry fees remaining after expenses (PDGA and ADG fees) and event prizes will go into the series prize pool.

Prizes will be in the form of MDGC shop vouchers, and will be distributed in proportion to the number of entries throughout the series. For example, if MA1 makes up 20% of entries, then 20% of the prize pool will go to MA1.

Some small divisions (<5 players) may be consolidated to make “prize divisions” e.g. last year MP40 was combined with MPO; and FPO / FA1 / FA2 were also consolidated.

The number of places and the size of payout in each division will be confirmed near the end of the season when we know the final numbers.
