Men's Night
A qualifying event for the ClubLink Men’s Night Championship
Men’s Night will continue to be a 2:30 p.m. shotgun on Wednesdays. To sign up please call the
golf shop at 905-876-3666 or email [email protected].
For our 2:30 p.m. shotgun we will use 27 holes. All players will play 18 holes. We are using a net
Stableford system as described below. All participants will be divided equally into two flights by
handicap. The A flight will contain the lower handicaps and the B flight will contain the higher
handicapped players. The player with the highest point total in his flight, no matter which course
combination he plays, will be the net winner. First, second and third in each flight will be awarded
prizes every Men’s Night. There will be no gimmes — everything must be holed unless it is more
than allowed by your equitable stroke control. If you are about to score more than net double
bogey, we ask you to please pick your ball up in the interest of pace of play.
Points are scored on each hole as follows;
Net double bogey
-1 points
Net bogey
0 point
Net par
1 points
Net birdie
Net eagle
Net double-eagle
2 points
3 points

Men’s Night Handicap: Men’s Night handicaps has been established for all members based on
your last 10 men’s night scores. This will allow your handicap to reflect the current situation of
your game. This handicap will be used for Men’s Night competitions only. If you do not have a
round played on Men’s Nights, your current Golf Canada handicap factor will be used to calculate
your handicap.

Tees: Men’s Night can be played from the Blue, Silver or White tees. If the golf shop does not
hear from a player it will be determined that blue is their choice. Up until June 1 players have the
option to declare up a tee deck from their current tee. After June 1 all requests must go through
the Men’s Captain’s Committee. Once you have selected your tee you can not move back a tee.
The tee that is selected for Men’s Night will also be your tee for all events where the 3 options are
available. A handicap adjustment of -1 will apply to anyone playing from the Silver tees and -2 for
the White tees. This is made according to the Golf Canada tee differential calculation section 9-3
c (i). If you are interested in applying to change tees, please send an email to the Men’s Captain
Committee ([email protected]) to apply.
