Captain' s Letter
Dear Granite Golf Club Ladies:
I am thrilled to be returning as your Ladies Captain for one more year and I, and the rest of our 2026 Ladies Committee are very excited to get this season started! We have had wonderful momentum over the last couple of years and are expecting this to continue.
Now we just need winter to end!!!
Our Committee members from last year are all returning and we have added two wonderful Ladies to our list: Jill Kouri and Surjit Marwaha, who have done terrific work with our Fashion Show and Ladies Invitational in 2025.
We have all been busy planning this seasons events. We are happy to be able to include all of our usual events, even with PN25 affecting the end of the season The only change will be to our Closing event which you will see the details of in the Ladies Guide.
As usual, our Thursday Play Day will include some great easy and fun formats. Our Tuesday Afternoon Golf (TAG) events are always a great way to play a late afternoon casual 9 holes with fellow Granite Ladies TAG is also a great introduction to our club and golf in general for those that are newer to the game. Both days events have great social opportunities post game for a quick meal and/ a beverage with fellow players.
Please note that registration for all of our events opens on April 7, 2026.
All of our event dates and details are on the Granite website Please note that these pages include a lot of information, including details of all of our Thursday Play and TAG formats, our Learning Academy, Hole in One Pool information and other events. There is a Scoring Glossary with details of different game formats, Basic Etiquette Roles, and helpful and important hints for improving pace of play
Again, I am looking forward to another season as your Captain and, as always, I hope to have opportunities to play with everyone.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Devine Deveny

Yes. It can be difficult to schedule your Four Ball or Single matches during the season. Players may find that Thursdays are a convenient time to schedule their match, and they will be allowed Due to the given pace of play issues with a Four Ball match, they must be played at the back of the group, but a Single match can go out at the front of the group as they do not typically affect pace of play.

Welcome to Match Play
Handicap Rules and Posting of Scores from Match Play Competitions
All participants in the match must post hole by hole scores for handicap purposes. This includes scores made in match play, in which players have not completed one or more holes or in which players pick up when out of contention on a hole The following are excerpts from the Golf Canada Handicap Manual:
TYPES OF MATCHES
Singles Match Play
In singles match play, the match is won by the player who is leading by a number of holes greater than the number of holes remaining to be played After 100% handicap allowances are determined, the higher-handicapped player receives the full difference in Course Handicap between the two players; the lower-handicapped player plays from scratch.
Example: A player with a Course Handicap of 17 receives four strokes from a player with a Course Handicap of 13. The player receives them on the first four allocated handicap-stroke holes.
Four-Ball Match Play
A match in which two players play as partners, scoring their best ball against the best ball of two other opponents Each participant plays their own ball to completion of the hole and the lower score between the two is the "best ball". The team with the lower best ball score wins the hole After 90% handicap allowances are determined, the higher handicapped players receive the full difference in Course Handicap between them and the lowest player. The lowest player plays from scratch
Example: Players have the following course handicaps after the 90% reduction. Player A is 9, player B is 16, player C is 20 and player D is 23 Player A would play off (0) zero strokes, player B receives 7 strokes, player C receives 11 strokes and player D receives 14 strokes. Note: The strokes received in Four-Ball match play remains the same even if the lowest handicap player is unable to play
DUTIES OF THE GOLFER
Arranging the Match
Players must arrange to play their match within the dates assigned for that round of the bracket While scheduling the match assign one of the participants as the individual responsible for booking the tee time. This individual shall also be responsible for notifying the Golf Shop of the match.
Players must make themselves available for multiple dates for each round of the bracket. Failure to provide an adequate number of available dates may result in the match being awarded to the other team/opponent should the match not be played by the final date for matches in that round of the bracket.
Matches can be scheduled by phone, email or through an electronic scheduling software such as Doodle Participants may find that utilizing a scheduling software makes scheduling the match easier Once the tee sheet is open for the date where the match is to be played the person that was made responsible for booking the tee time shall book the tee time on the Granite Golf website
When the tee time is booked please add a note to the booking indicating the match play competition it is for and that the tee time is a match so that the Golf Shop can prepare the scorecards in advance.
If you forget to notify the Golf Shop when booking your tee time please notify them as soon as possible prior to the match. The Golf Shop must be notified that it is a match prior to teeing off on the first hole
New for 2026*** If a match is not played by the stated deadline due to lack of communication, and one party has sent two or more unanswered emails attempting to schedule the match, the responding party or team will be deemed non-responsive In such cases, the party that made the documented attempts to communicate will automatically advance in the match play bracket This rule is intended to ensure fairness and keep the competition progressing on schedule.
In any Match Play Event, if the match has not been completed by the posted date, the following procedure will be used to determine the winner of each draw. On the Monday after the posted date for completion of the match, two members of the Golf Shop Staff will perform a coin toss to determine the winner who will move on It is hoped that this will keep the matches on schedule and that the event is completed before August 16th. The coin toss selection will go as follows There will be no exceptions to this rule
Prior to the Match
All golfers must verify their handicap prior to the match
All golfers are to obtain their scorecard for the match from the Golf Shop. The scorecard will have included dots at each hole where strokes will be given/received.
Golfers must verify that the handicap on the scorecard matches their handicap. If using Golf Genius golfers must confirm that the handicap in Golf Genius also matches their handicap
Once each participant has verified that their handicap is correct they shall notify their opponent(s) of their handicap and confirm that the scorecard is correct prior to teeing off.
During the Match
Scorecards must be utilized. In addition, we strongly encourage using Golf Genius. Players are to confirm the status of the match after each hole is completed
Once a hole is declared to have been won/conceded by both parties the result of that hole is final.
If there is some doubt about the result of a particular hole continue to play the match and resolve the issue with the Golf Shop upon the completion of the round. Play 2 balls to ensure a proper ruling
Once a match has been declared to have been won by both sides the result is final
Match Play All Square After 18 Holes
If the match is all square at the completion of 18 holes a sudden death playoff shall take place and the match shall continue until one side wins a hole. The playoff should start on the hole where the match began and handicap strokes shall be utilized as in the stipulated round.
At the Completion of the Match
Notify the Golf Shop of the results of the match, submit one of the paper scorecards and let the Golf Shop know if the match was scored in Golf Genius For the match to be official hole by hole scoring for all participants must be provided.
The Golf Shop is responsible for ensuring the results are uploaded into Golf Genius and the Golf Canada You do not have to post your own scores to the Golf Canada
UNFINISHED HOLES AND CONCEDED STROKES
A player who starts but does not complete a hole or is conceded a stroke must record for handicap purposes the most likely score. The most likely score may not exceed double bogey This most likely score should be preceded by an “X” There is no limit to the number of unfinished holes a player may have in a round, provided that failure to finish is not for the purpose of handicap manipulation.
Most likely score is a judgment that each player must make based on the player’s own game It consists of the number of strokes already taken plus, in the player’s best judgment, the number of strokes needed to complete the hole from that position more than half the time including penalty strokes. The player must evaluate each situation based on what the player can reasonably expect to score
Example 1: A and B are playing a match. On a hole on which neither player receives a handicap stroke, A has holed out in 4; B has a 30-foot putt for a 5 B has lost the hole and picks up. B records X-6 on the scorecard because 6 is B’s most likely score.
Example 2: A and B are playing a match. On a hole on which neither player receives a handicap stroke, A is one foot from the hole, lying 4 B is 10 feet from the hole, lying 3 B putts and misses They both concede a half Both players record X-5 because that is their most likely score.
HOLES NOT PLAYED
If a player does not play a hole the score recorded for that hole for handicap purposes must be par plus any handicap strokes the player is entitled to receive on that hole.
If 10 or more holes are played, the player must post an 18 hole score. A minimum of 9 holes must be completed to post a 9-hole score. Any scores for unplayed holes must be recorded as par plus any handicap strokes that the player is entitled to receive on the unplayed holes.
SCORE TO POST IF MATCH ENDS IN FEWER THAN 18 HOLES AND PLAYER COMPLETES ROUND
If the match is decided prior to the competing 18 holes the scores posted for holes that are played after the match is complete shall be the actual scores that the player scores on the post match holes. To post in any other manner would be at odds with the basic premise that contends that each player will try to make the best scores at every hole in every round If the committee believes that the player is inflating their scores on post match holes it may apply provisions of Section 8 (Handicap Factor Adjustment)
Scoring Glossary
Various Forms of Play
All forms of play may be gross or net.
Gross Score
The score for either a hole or for the round before a player’s handicap has been deducted. (The actual score).
Net Score
The score for either a hole or for the round after a player’s handicap has been deducted The stated event handicap % is used to even out the competition, with strokes given based on your stroke index to calculate a net score
Stroke Play
Players compete against the field for best total score
Match Play
Refers to competition hole-by-hole between two players or two partnerships. The side leading by more holes than there are holes left to play is the winner. When considering handicaps, the lower handicap person plays at scratch or 0 handicap and the higher handicap player receives the strokes (difference between the player’s handicap and the opponent’s) 'where they fall’ as indicated on the scorecard. For example, a handicap of 22 becomes zero and a 29 receives seven shots for that match.
Stableford
Stableford uses a points system, where the better you score on a hole the more points you receive. The goal is to accumulate the most amount of points during the round. NET Point system: Eagle - 4, Birdie - 3, Par - 2, Bogey - 1, Double Bogey or higher - 0
Scramble
You may use a team of two, three or four players A low and medium handicapper should be selected for each team Each person on the team drives, and the best drive is then chosen Everyone hits his or her second shot from where the chosen drive landed The best second shot is now chosen and play continues in this manner, including on the green until the ball is holed out.
Better Ball or Four Ball Best Ball
A match in which two play as partners, scoring their best ball against the best ball of two other players. Each participant plays the ball to completion of the hole and the lower score between the two is the ‘best ball’. The team with the lower best ball score wins the hole. In stroke play, the total of the team’s 18 ‘best ball’ holes is compared to the rest of the field.
Foursome or Alternate Shot
A match in which two play against two, and each side plays one ball In standard alternate shot, one member of the team tees off on the even- numbered holes and the other member on the odd-numbered holes
Each partner alternates hitting their team ball until the ball is holed out
Modified Alternate Shot (Chapman)
Similar to foursome or alternate shot, except that each player tees off, then switch and hit each other’s ball for the second shots. The players then choose the best-positioned ball and play alternating shots until the ball is holed.
Basic Rules of Etiquette
This is YOUR Golf course. Enjoy it, repair it and appreciate its beauty!
Respect Time
Ready golf is the most efficient way to play a round
For the honour system - the person with the lowest handicap tees off first On subsequent holes, the person who scores the lowest score on the previous hole tees off first
If you decide to play ready golf – then the first person ready may hit if it’s safe to do so.
One practice swing should do and be ready to hit when it’s your turn
To speed up play, finish out a 2 foot putt or less if possible. (No need to mark).
Take no longer than 3 minutes to search for a missing golf ball.
Keep up to the group ahead of you, versus close to the group behind you
If the hole ahead of you becomes empty, invite the group behind you to play through.
18 holes at Granite Golf should take no longer than 4 hours for a foursome
On the Course
Quiet on the tee block… and green – respect that your fellow players need to concentrate.
Be aware of where your ball landed and head for your ball immediately; then, prepare for your next swing. The furthest person from the hole swings first. Always replace divots when possibly. If you cannot replace them, use the sand and seed bottle
In the sand – avoid grounding your club, rake the trap and, leave the rake outside the trap where it will be out of the way of shots from other players.
On the Green
The player furthest from the hole putts first
Balls may be marked, particularly those on another player’s line
Avoid walking across the putting line of another player by walking around. Be mindful of your shadow if tending the flag The flag may stay in the hole if player chooses.
If a flag is removed, the national flag may not touch the ground. If tended, holding the flag to prevent it from flapping in the wind is courteous to other players
Repair ball marks - it only takes a few hours for the grass to die.
Once your ball has holed out move on to the next tee. Track your score at the next tee block
Equipment
Leave your clubs, golf cart, electric cart on the far side of the green, closest to the path to the next hole.
Food and Beverage
To keep the game in play, order your choice at the 9th tee block or before, and it will be ready to pick it up at the clubhouse on your way by
Enjoy your day – remember, a day on Granite Golf course is better than a day anywhere else!
