OGC Ladies Match Play

2024 Ladies Match Play ( June- July- August)

 

Purpose

  • The Match Play event is open to all OGC lady players regardless of their golf skills. The event is a good way to measure yourself against players of any handicap. No matter your level, everyone has a chance to move up in the main bracket. Once eliminated from the starting bracket, you have the chance to continue playing in the consolation bracket.

Eligibility

  • All OGC Ladies Club Ladies members over the age of 19, who have remitted their annual fees and hold a current and valid Golf Canada Handicap are eligible to play. Because this is an event where prize money is given to winners and runners-up, the validity of your handicap is essential to ensure fairness to the other players.

Game

  • Match Play is a game based on lower net score per hole for two golfers (for this format). The player with the lower handicap gives the other player with the higher handicap the difference in number of strokes at the start of the match so they start at an even level regardless of their handicap. Prior to starting, the score card is clearly marked with the number of strokes given to the player with the higher handicap based on the hole’s difficulty. The per hole scoring is either the same number of strokes for both players even 1/2, a win + 1 or a loss - 1. The strokes are tabulated for each hole while playing. The player winning the most holes wins the match. Your match can be played on either course from the red or silver tees whichever you are comfortable. Prior to playing rules will be given to clarify how to adjust the handicap if players are playing from different tees. You must agree with your opponent on which course and what day you will play in a specific period determined on the Match Play summer schedule. We start our season in June. We need either 16 or 24 players to run the event. Rules are available on Golf Genius on the Resource Tab and an update will be forwarded to registered players prior to starting the Match Play event.
