Leinenkugel 2!

After a wildly successful debut last summer, the Linden Country Club Summer League is back — and the stakes have never been higher. Leinenkugel 2 is here. Fueled by competitive fire, cold beverages, and the hum of the golf simulator, twelve players return to battle for bragging rights, tier supremacy, and a shot at lifting the prestigious Linenkuegel Cup. Whether you’re hitting perfect drives or scrambling to save par, every swing counts.

This season features four stacked teams, new promotion and relegation twists, and a head-to-head format that keeps every Wednesday night intense. With rotating game modes and tiered matchups, strategy is as important as swing tempo. Expect drama. Expect comebacks. Expect walk-off putts. This isn’t just a golf league — it’s Leinenkugel 2!
