Trophy Events - 2025 DATES TO BE CONFIRMEDLadies' and Men's Match Play: The Club Ladies' & Men's Match Play is a multiple round event requiring a valid handicap. Trophies are awarded to each of the Men's and Ladies' Club Match Play Champions. The winner of the match advances and the loser moves to the consolation round. Any defeat after that eliminates you from the tournament. Earl Stimpson Competition: This event is a mixed pair (1 male and 1 female), alternate stroke, match play tournament. You may select your own partner. The winners of a match will advance to the next round. Teams are on their own to book their rounds by the indicated deadlines. All players require a valid handicap to compete in this event which runs over the course of the season. Ladies' and Men's Low Net Tournament: The Club Low Net Tournament is an 18 hole event requiring a valid handicap. You play your own game and your handicap is deducted from your total score at the end of the round to determine your net score. This is an event that anyone can win so why not you! The Men's and ladies tournament is scheduled for June, followed by the Senior Mens & Women's (55+) in August.

Each club hosts one 18-hole round per year, using a Stableford scoring system. There will be qualifying rounds setup where 8 players will be selected to represent the club. Please see the event calendar for more details. Intersectional: This event involves various teams from qualified divisions competing against one another. Format for this event is individual match play against 3 other players (clubs) in your group. Points are awards for matches won. Categories to make the team (consisting of 8-12 players): Mens, Senior Mens, Ladies, Senior Ladies. Members must have a valid handicap and participate in 2/5 qualifying dates to be eligible to make the team. RCGA Rules of GolfAll golf events at the Canadian Golf and Country Club are conducted according to the RCGA Rules of Golf, as modified from time to time by Local Rules (which are located on the Members’ Board and the Handicap Book at the Computer. General Conditions of Play are there as well). Summer Rules are in effect unless extreme conditions occur. For those interested, official rule books can be purchased via the Golf Canada website. All participants in events have an obligation to themselves and to the field (other participants) to uphold these rules. Establishing your Handicap/Factor: In order to compete in and qualify for prizes at club events (and also to compete in outside events) it is essential to establish a valid "handicap". It is very easy to do. The Canadian Golf and Country Club maintains a computer-based handicapping system. Simply enter a minimum of 5 rounds to establish your handicap. It is expected that Canadian members will enter their score for every round played (as soon as possible) to ensure your handicap remains accurate. We also have a Handicap Committee to provide guidance on all matters relating to handicapping. There is a Handicap binder beside the computer as well as a brochure from Golf Canada which is available for all Members “All You Need to Know”. It details the requirements and outlines your responsibilities as a golfer. The system is only as fair as the golfers who use it and assumes that you will be honest, try to make the best possible score on every hole, and submit every acceptable score for peer review. Members who choose not to maintain a handicap are of course, still welcome to play in our fun events but cannot be eligible to win any prizes or trophies that may be awarded. (Handicaps for all events will be frozen as of the date the ‘draw’ is posted.) Establishing a valid handicap means that players can compete fairly with others at comparable skill levels. We encourage everyone to participate in all our events. Understanding the system and establishing a valid handicap is particularly important for our junior members, many of whom are keenly interested in competitive play. You are encouraged to talk to the Captains or any member of the Handicap Committee if you have any questions. Equitable Stroke Control (ESC): ESC sets a maximum number of strokes that a player can post for handicap purposes on any hole depending on the player's course handicap. What this does is make sure that your handicap does not swing wildly up or down due to an unusually good or bad round (You know! The one when you put seven consecutive balls into the same pond convinced that you could take that shortcut to the green!). Check with your Captain or Handicap Committee if you are uncertain about how to apply Equitable Stroke Control and please refer to the Handicap Manual for instructions and examples. NEW EQUITABLE STROKE CONTROL 9 OR LESS Course Handicap Maximum of 2 over par 10-19 Course Handicap Maximum score of 7 20-29 Course Handicap Maximum score of 8 30-39 Course Handicap Maximum score of 9 40 and over Course Handicap Maximum score of 10 Scoring: Stroke play vs. Match: When you sign up to play in any event, you will be given all the information you need on format and scoring. The following are commonly used scoring methods. Stroke (Medal) play: This requires counting the total number of strokes required to complete the round (that means counting them all....no mulligans allowed!) This is your gross score. To calculate your net score, (which is required for some events) simply deduct your handicap from your gross score. Match Play: In match play, each individual hole is either won, lost or tied. The match is over when one player has won so many holes that even if their opponent won all the remaining holes, it would not be enough for them to catch up. For example, let's say that in a given match, Player A is up by 5 after 14 holes. Even if player B were to hit a hot streak and win the 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th holes, that would only reduce Player A's lead to 1 and A would win the match. Hole-in-one Insurance: When the day comes that you score a hole-in-one at the Canadian, you will want to celebrate by buying a drink for all of the members who are in the Clubhouse when you return from your round of golf. To offset this cost, Hole-in-one Insurance is available for $2 and can be purchased in the Proshop. Once you have bought the drinks, retain your receipt and submit it to Danielle Seabrook along with your signed, dated and attested scorecard, for reimbursement. Reoccurring Tee-times: Members have the option to pay a premium booking fee to secure reoccurring tee-times for the season. Reoccurring tee-times have a limited availability and are assigned on a first come first serve basis. For more information reach out to proshop@canadiangolfclub.com |
