Ladies Day Information

LADIES DAY INFORMATION
2013
-
Please register at the Pro Shop by 4pm on Tuesday’s for Ladies Day.
-
The draw will be posted on the Lingan web site and available in the Pro Shop by Wednesday. I’m hoping to get it in the C.B. Post as well
-
The Ladies Day draw will start at 10am for the month of June. In July we will switch to 9am.
-
The cost is $3.00 to play in Ladies Day. Please pay at the Pro Shop before teeing off.
-
Prizes will be in the form of Pro Shop gift certificates. The amount of the certificates and the number given out each week will depend on the number of entrants.
-
Depending on the format for a particular week…there may be gross or net prizes awarded or a combination of the two.
-
Putting prizes will also be awarded in most events.
-
It is imperative that you keep your handicaps up-to - date. Every round should be recorded on the handicap site. If you require assistance with this program please see Jamie or Donnie.
Golf Etiquette
-
Try to arrive soon enough to give yourself time to warm up properly.
-
Be on the tee box, ready to go, at least 10 minutes before your scheduled tee time (the pro shop is often ahead of schedule).
-
Make sure to place an identifying mark on your ball and inform the group the type and number ball you are playing.
-
Exchange score cards on the first tee. Never keep your own card. If you have my card, for example, you are responsible for making sure I’m counting my strokes correctly. This protects the entire field.
-
Avoid slow play. You should take no more than 30-40 seconds to select your club and hit your shot.
-
Don’t step on your fellow players lines…the imaginary line that connects the ball to the hole.
-
Do not stand where you might distract a fellow golfer and don’t move while they are hitting or preparing to hit.
-
Don’t make any noise when your fellow player is preparing to hit or putt.
-
Finally, at the end of the round, shake hands with your fellow players.
-
At the end of the day, the great pleasure of the game is the time you get to spend with your friends whether old friends or new friends you just made through the game. Have Fun!

Important Changes To Handicap System For 2012

Golf Canada's Handicap and Course Rating Committee have approved a change to the Equitable Stroke Control method. Equitable Stroke Control is the downward adjustment of individual hole scores for handicap purposes in order to make Handicap Factors more representative of a player's potential scoring ability. It sets a maximum number that a player can post on any hole depending on the player's Course Handicap.
How It Works
Old Equitable Stroke Control New Equitable Stroke Control
0 or Plus Handicap - Max. of 1 over par 9 or less Handicap - Max of 2 over par
1-18 Handicap - Max. of 2 over par 10-19 Handicap - Max. score of 7
19-32 Handicap - Max. of 3 over par 20-29 Handicap - Max. score of 8
33 and over Handicap - Max. of 4 over par 30-39 Handicap - Max. score of 9
40+ Handicap - Max. score of 10
