HANDICAP COMMITTEE
MATCH PLAY competitions are starting in January. Match Play Rounds are postable . Due to the nature of match play, you may not finish a hole or a round. Below are summaries of our Club’s rules for handling these situations. WHEN A HOLE IS NOT PLAYED Reason: A match finishing before the final hole(s). Score for holes not played will be par plus any handicap strokes. For example, if the hole par is four (4) and the player gets one stroke, the score will be five (5) for that hole. WHEN A HOLE IS STARTED BUT THE PLAYER DOES NOT HOLE OUT Watch the video for instructions. There are various circumstances that might result in a player starting a hole but not holing out. For example, when the result of the hole has already been decided, or a hole has been conceded. When a player starts a hole but does not hole out for a valid reason, subject to other provisions set out within the Rules of Handicapping, the player must record their
MOST LIKELY SCORE or NET DOUBLE BOGEY, whichever is lower, as appropriate for the situation and depending on the format of play. MOST LIKELY SCORE Most likely scores should be determined on any hole in accordance with the following guidelines: If the ball lies on the putting green and is no more than 5 feet from the hole: Add one additional stroke. If the ball lies between 5 feet and 20 yards from the hole: Add 2 or 3 additional strokes, depending on the position of the ball, the difficulty of the green, and the ability of the player. If the ball lies more than 20 yards from the hole: Add 3 or 4 additional strokes, depending on the position of the ball, the difficulty of the green, and the ability of the player. NET DOUBLE BOGEY = PAR + YOUR STROKES + 2 To reach out to the Handicap Committee, email handicapcommittee@tontogolf.com.
