Handicap Requirements

All players must use their CURRENT Golf Canada Handicap Factor on the day of the Local Qualifier to determine the Course Handicap for that day’s competition.

The maximum Golf Canada Handicap Factor is 36.4 for males and 40.4 for females.

The four team members’ aggregate Golf Canada Handicap factor must be a minimum of 32.0 and maximum of 112.0 (including mixed gender teams).

A maximum of two single figure handicap (9.9 or less) players based on individual’s Golf Canada Handicap Factors are allowed on each team at each level of competition (PGA of Canada professionals are not included).

For example:
Team aggregate Course Handicap of 54 x 10% = 5.4
Team gross score = 70
Net score = 64.6 (70 minus 5.4)

Note: Female competitors are to use the Slope Rating from their respective tees to determine their Course Handicap.

The team’s aggregate Golf Canada Handicap Factor established at the Local Event is the base aggregate handicap for the Championship.
