Only Men's Club members are eligible for Men's Club tournaments.
To qualify for the Club Championship, you must have (a) played a total of 5 rounds as part of the Men’s Club during that year or (b) participated in the Club Championship within the past 3 years. Note that a two-day tournament played counts as 4 rounds (i.e., 4 9-hole rounds equal 4-Wednesday nights played) and a one-day tournament counts as 2 rounds (i.e., 2 9-hole rounds equal 2-Wednesday nights played).
If you do not meet Club Championship qualifications, you may apply for an exemption to the Men's Club Executive.
Entry fee for tournaments is $40.00 for two-day tournaments, $30.00 for one-day tournaments.
Late entries may be accepted at the discretion of the Men's Club Executive.
Entry fees are, generally speaking, non-refundable. Credit is only offered at the discretion of the tournament organizers and only with sufficient notice, All credit must be used on the very next tournament on the schedule.
Tournaments use Men's Club handicaps, not Golf Canada handicaps (which is lower of Men's Night handicap and Golf Canada handicap).
No birdie boards will be available for tournaments this year.
The Men's Club is not responsible for recording tournament scores in your Golf Canada handicap account.

There are no ties and all ties are broken using the USGA 9-6-3-1 Last-to-First (which is built into the golf software tournament software) for breaking ties. The USGA method is used to first break ties and, if there are still ties after that, then Last-to-First-Hole is used to break the tie. This ensures that, unless there are two identical rounds, there will not be a tie. If there is still a tie, then the organizers reserve the right to either split the prize or award it based on the flip of a coin.
Gross and Net Prizes
In Men's Club tournaments, we generally pay out for gross and net prizes. If you win a gross prize, you can't win a net prize and vice versa.
When we are calculating gross and net prizes, we order everyone by both gross and net prizes in their flight. Each player can win one prize and once they have won, they are eliminated from the rankings. The procedure for giving out prizes is as follows:
Whoever wins first in gross gets 1st gross prize.
Whoever is first in net gets 1st net prize unless they have won 1st gross prize.
If they won 1st gross prize, then whoever is second in net wins the 1st net prize.
Whoever is second in gross gets 2nd gross prize unless they won 1st net prize.
If they won 1st net prize, then whoever is third in gross wins 2nd gross prize.
Whoever is second in net gets 2nd net prize unless they won 1st gross prize, 1st net prize or 2nd gross prize.
In this case, third place in net gets 2nd net prize unless they won 1st gross prize, 1st net prize or 2nd gross prize.
In this case, the fourth place finisher gets 2nd net prize.
This repeats for however many prizes there are in each flight. See below for an example.
