Golf

Grass Golf

 

In order to maintain integrity to the golf programs, coaches are reminded that these play-offs are to introduce athletes to tournament golf, and are not intended for beginners. A maximum scoring average of approximately 120 strokes per 18 holes on your home course should be considered the high end of the skill spectrum. Please do not use these playoffs as a replacement for a sound program involving the teaching of skills and practice.

 

SENIOR COMPETITION

 

All senior competitors shall play 18 holes.

Each school will determine it’s team with a maximum of 8 participants, with no more than 6 from one gender.

 

JUNIOR COMPETITION

 

All junior competitors shall play 9 holes.

Any athlete who reaches a score of 12 on any golf hole, he/she shall discontinue play on that hole, enter a score of 12, and resume play on the next hole.

Each school will determine it’s team with a maximum of 6 participants. If the school is entering the school team competition, no more than 4 of one gender will be allowed (4+2).

 

ATHLETE REGISTRATION

 

All golfers are responsible to pay their own green fees.

Each school must supply a roster to the commissioner two days prior to competition and will include the following.

                Name

                Age

                Grade

                Handicap

 

 

DRESS CODE

 

Each participant shall be dressed in appropriate golf attire. This includes collared shirts, and tailored pants or shorts.

Cut off shirts and shorts are not viewed as appropriate.

 

LOCAL RULES

 

Commissioners must ensure that all golfers are aware of any local rules.

Distance measuring devices (distance only) are permitted.

 

START TIMES

 

Start times will be determined by the event commissioner.

The commissioner will use a “shot gun” star where possible.

 

GOLF SCHOOL TEAM COMPETITION (District Only)

 

There will be two separate team competitions, one boys and one girls.

School teams are made up of 3 – 4 boys / 2 – 4 girls.

A school may have only one “school team” of each gender but still have 1 or 2 individual boys as well as 1 or 2 individual girls.

 

 TEAM SCORING

On each hole the total of the three best scores is recorded by the team of 3 – 4 boys, or total of the two best scores recorded by the team of 2 – 4 girls will determine team scoring.


Therefore, on a team of 4, different players could contribute to the championship by having their scores contribute on any single hole. However, the possibility exists that one player’s score might not ever be used.

 

GOLF INDIVIDUAL COMPETITION               

 

*** NOTE – All golfers are entered in the individual competition.

 

Coaches must declare which 4 golfers are members for the Team Competition.  If a school has brought 8 golfers, 6 of 1 gender and 2 of the other, they should use their “worst” male golfers as individual golfers, and use their “best” 4 golfers in the Team Competition. The 4 Team golfers are automatically entered into the individual competition.

The other 2 golfers (female) could golf in both the team and the individual competition.

 

TIES

 

A sudden death playoff will be used to determine ties for 1st place. The playoff hole(s) will be determined by the event commissioner.

In the case of all other ties, the event commissioner shall utilize the “count back” system, where the scores are counted back from the 18th hole. The highest score on the 18th, 17th if needed, will be the winner. The rationale is that the golfer had the best score up until the last hole being used in the “count back”.

 

ADVANCEMENT TO PROVINCIALS

 

The top district’s boys’ team will attend the Provincial Championship.

The top district’s girls’ team will attend the Provincial Championship.
