PREFACE
*PLEASE NOTE:
Events formats and details are subject to change at the discretion of the convenors.
The following pages provide information and details related to club events and matches that will be played in 2024. While maintaining the history and integrity of these events, we support the efforts of each convenor to organize and manage in a fashion they deem fit and beneficial to the event’s success. The following will remain consistent throughout the guide unless otherwise stipulated under each description.
CANCELLATION POLICY
Members who wish to withdraw must do so 72 hours prior to the scheduled day of the event, or as noted in the registration. The 72-hour cancellation policy applies generally to all Club events - golf, dining or otherwise unless explicitly noted.
TIES
Match Play: In case of a tie at the end of 18 holes, play will immediately continue, commencing at the first hole on a sudden death basis. Handicap strokes to be taken as shown on the scorecard in events with hdcp.
Stroke Play: Some events will require sudden death playoffs. If using matching cards, the winner will be determined based on the best score for the last nine holes. If the tying players have the same score on the last nine holes, the winner is determined based on the last six holes, last three holes and finally the 18th hole. If this method is used in a competition with a multi-tee start, the “last nine holes, last six holes, etc.” will be considered to be holes 10-18, 13-18, 16-18, 18 and ultimately a coin toss.
CAP PATROL
The application of CapPatrol; an adjustment of a member’s handicap is based on the data and information at hand. Member identity is kept confidential thereby facilitating objectivity in decision making by the Handicap Committee. The Golf Professional Staff manage the
communication to members whose handicaps, the Committee decides, should be adjusted. If disparities occur, the Golf Professional Staff does not suggest, nor make, decisions about handicap adjustments.
CapPatrol’s software program is based on statistical analysis and has been utilized at notable golf clubs such as Madinah, Butler National, Oakmont and the Olympic Club as well as Oakdale Golf & Country Club in Canada.
DRAWS
Tournament draws will be made available through the Scarboro website and email correspondence a minimum of 48 hours prior to the scheduled day of the event.
GENERAL MATCH PLAY GUIDELINES
In every bracket, each round must be completed by the published date in the designated bracket:
• No extensions will be granted
• The top player on the bracket in each match is responsible for making initial contact
• If a match is not played by the published deadline, the player who shared the greater availability will advance
• In an instance where both players provided the same availability, a tee time will be assigned on the deadline. If only one player arrives for that tee time, they will advance
• In the event that neither player can make the assigned tee time and they agree that both have offered equal availability, the Golf Shop will conduct a coin flip to advance a player to the next round.
• All matches must notify the Golf Shop in advance to have a scorecard prepared
• All players must have 75% of their scores posted Vs. rounds played to receive their full handicap allocation. If a player has entered less than 75% of their scores, they will NOT receive their full handicap. The player will receive a handicap equal to the percentage of rounds posted.
