Players may change their tee deck preference in rounds 1, 2, and 3. Whichever tee is selected in round 3, will be your declared tee for the remainder of the match play event.

 

When playing competitors have different declared tee boxes, players may stay on their declared tee or play the same tees as their playing competitor. Handicaps will be adjusted accordingly.

Once you have completed your match, please be sure to email the Golf Shop (rapro@clublink.ca) so the leaderboard can be updated.

 

Below is a summary from the rules of golf and handicapping for your information,

 

Score to record for holes that were not holed out:

 

When a player starts a hole but does not hole out for a valid reason the player must record their most likely score or net double bogey, whichever is lower.

 

Score to record for holes that were not started:

 

Where the minimum number of holes has been completed (7 for a 9-hole score and 14 for an 18-hole score) the player must record net par (par plus any handicap strokes allowed on the hole) for those holes.

 

 

General Information

 

At the beginning of the year, players are given approx. 4 weeks to play their first match.

 

Each team must supply 3 dates when they are available to play before each match deadline. Each team must begin scheduling their match within 7 days of receiving email notification from the Golf Shop on your upcoming match. All matches must be played by the cut-off date, there will be no exceptions for matches that are not played before the match deadline. In this case, both teams will be disqualified, if a tee time is booked and only one player shows up that player will move on to the next round.  All matches must follow the prescribed playoff format. Update Tournament Brackets and Player Contact Information will be posted on the Match Play Portal.

 

 

Playoff Formats:  Players will continue their match after the 18th hole to the first hole and play sudden-death until a winner is declared. If a match is played during a shotgun, the playoff will commence on the next hole, (e.g., if you start the match on the fourth hole and finish on the third, the playoff will commence on the fourth hole and proceed on successive holes, if needed, until a winner is declared).  All handicap strokes will be used, matching the original 18 holes. 

 

Darkness: If either player decides it is too dark to continue the match, the next hole in sequence will be a shoot-out from 100 yards.  The closest to the pin will be declared the winner. Alternatively, both players can agree to reschedule the match as long as they can finish it before the deadline.

 

Additional information:  Players may play matches at courses other than RattleSnake Point GC as long as both players agree on the venue.  In single matches, all players will receive 100% of their handicap as per the RCGA Manual.  Matches will be played off the lowest handicap; the lowest handicap in each match will be deemed to be a zero handicap.  All players will receive their strokes based upon the difference between their handicaps and the lowest handicap.
