TGL’s triple-header event on President’s Day was a huge hit with their growing fanbase.
Fans were kept on their toes by the nail-biting finish of each match. The evening was filled with excitement, from the Los Angeles Golf Club-Atlanta Drive battle that went to overtime through The Bay Golf Club’s close victory over Boston Commons in the final hole.
Although the Triple-Header format was unique to TGL, it also brought a new tactical approach: the revised use of “hammers.” The league made this change after receiving feedback about the original hammer rule.

The new system allows each team to start a match equipped with three hammers. They can then strategically use these hammers on any hole. They are limited to only using one hammer for each hole.
It’s exciting to think that both teams could throw hammers on the same hole, doubling its value.
