SUNDAY, JULY TBA - MEN'S INTERSECTIONALS
back to top

A Quebec Golf Association event involving over fifty 12 person teams in the Eastern Ontario/Western Quebec area. This is a "ladder" type of event with four golf clubs making up each of the 13 Flights (A-M) and moving positions on the "ladder" relative to their performance compared just to the other three teams. The winning team moves up a flight, the second and third place teams stay in the same flight with the second place team becoming one of the host clubs for the following year (except "A", where the winner hosts), and the last place team moves down to a lower flight.

The format for the intersectional competition will be match play. With each foursome comprising of one team member from each of the four clubs, individual matches will occur with each team member playing three separate matches. Points are awarded for performance within each match. A win equals two points, a tie is one point, and a loss receives zero points. Therefore, six points would be a perfect individual score (three matches won at two points each) and 60 points for a team.

Players qualify for the Intersectional Team by accumulating the most stableford points by counting their best two point rounds out of three. The designated qualifying rounds are the first 2 field day events of the year, and one other qualifying round.

TBA - SENIOR MEN'S INTERSECTIONALS

Players qualify for the Senior Intersectional Team by accumulating the most stableford points by counting their best two point rounds out of three. The designated qualifying rounds are TBA.

LADIES' MATCH PLAY
back to top

All members interested in "Match Play" should sign up before May 11th. The sign up sheet will be posted on the Ladies' Board. "Match Play" is determined by a draw of the interested members. The draw will be posted in early June. The player named first on the draw sheet is responsible for setting up the date and time of the match. Each match is based on 18 holes, and must be played within the specified two week period. Dates are specified on the "Match Play" draw sheet. In the event of a tie, the match will go to sudden death starting on hole #10. "Match Play" scoring is calculated using players' handicaps and hole handicap ratings on score cards. (For example: a 20 handicapper matched with a 30 handicapper would get 1 stroke on the 10 most difficult holes-according to ladies' handicap ratings on the score card, i.e. holes #1,2,5,6,9,10,14,15,17 and 18). If you have any problems, ask a member of the Executive.
