Handicapping Process |
The AMFGA follows the Royal Canadian Golf Association Handicap System to calculate handicaps. |
The table below indicates the number of scores required to do a valid handicap calculation. |

During handicap calculation only, Equitable Stroke Control may be required to adjust individual hole scores downward according to the following table. The resulting total score is called the "adjusted gross". |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For
each round played, a handicap differential (HD) is calculated as follows:
HD = Adjusted gross - course rating1 |
A
course differential (CD) is calculated by taking the average of the best
HD’s:
CD = (Sum of best 102 of last 20 HD’s)/102 |
A
course handicap (CH) is determined by taking 96% of the course differential
rounded to the nearest whole stroke.
CH = CD X .96 |
A
handicap index (HI) is calculated as follows:
HI = CH X 1133/OEGC slope1 |
Your
HI can be used at any course to determine your handicap (TCH) for
that course (TC):
TCH = HI X TC slope/113. |
Notes:
1. Oakville Executive Golf Course rating is 58, slope is 87.
2. If 20 games have not been played, refer to 1st table for "best of" numbers. 3. The "standard" slope is 113. |
A.M.F. Golf Association - Processes & Guidelines
MEMBERSHIP: | The AMFGA will accommodate 17 active members. See the attached membership roster. |
ELIGIBILITY: | A new member must be sponsored by a current member. THE Commish will call for a vote of acceptance from the active membership. |
MEMBERSHIP
FEE: |
The
annual membership fee is $50.00 and is payable before the first
regular play date.
A full roster gives us the required $850.00 to cover the current prize schedule. |
LOCATION: | Oakville Executive Golf Course - OEGC (Par = 63, Course Rating = 58, Slope = 87) owned and operated by our good friends, the Meyers family. |
DATES: | Thursday evenings from the 2nd Thursday in April to the 4th Thursday in September and the following Saturday. |
TEE
TIMES
- P.M.: |
April
thru August, 4:10, 4:20, 4:30, 4:40 - be at the golf course by 4:00 p.m.
September, 3:40, 3:50, 4:00, 4:10 - be at the golf course by 3:30 p.m. |
PLAY TYPES: | AMF’ers compete both in individual and team play. Four or five man teams are determined by a random draw. In individual play, order of finish is determined by net score; lowest net score finishes 1st , etc.. In team play, a team competes using the best net score from it’s members. |
WEEKLY
PROCESS: |
If
you wish to play, you must call THE Commish (Bill Thompson) at work
(905-270-8050,
1-800-387-5909) or home (905-890-5677) all day Monday or Tuesday before noon. THE Commish must call Harold to cancel unrequired times by Wednesday evening. If you don't call but show up at the golf course, you will be on your own to get a tee-off time and make up a game. However, you will be eligible to win prizes. |
WEEKLY
PLAY: |
On
the AMFGA Tour, each play date is a tournament (20 regular and 6 major)
and prizes are awarded according to the prize schedule below. Major tournament dates are outlined in the annual Events Calendar. The following "local rules" apply during
our weekly games:
If circumstances prevent a golfer from finishing several holes of a round, he will take a score for each missed hole according to his handicap. In other words, if a player gets no strokes on a missed hole, he will take a par. If he gets 1 stroke on a missed hole, he will take a bogie, etc. In any event, a golfer must actually have played at least 13 holes before his round can be applied against the prize structure or handicapping process. If circumstances cause an AMF’er to miss the first few holes, he may go back after his round is complete and play out those holes. In most cases, all golfers playing in a tournament must complete their round before prizes will be awarded for that tournament. THE Commish will decide if play should be terminated because of inclement weather. If a golfer retires on his own, AMF! If there is a question about whether or not a round should count or what scores should be recorded for a specific hole, THE Commishes will make the final decision, applying the above guidelines wherever possible. |
HANDICAPS: | Handicaps
will be calculated using the RCGA Handicap System. See the AMF Golf Association
Handicapping Process, above.
Each of us will start a new season with a handicap developed by applying the above process to our previous season scores. If you are new to AMFGA and haven’t played at the OEGC, THE Commish will assign you a handicap based on your previous golf experience. Your handicap will be reviewed as you play your rounds and may be adjusted so as not to give you or the other AMF’ers any unfair advantage. |
PRIZE
SCHEDULE: |
All
prizes, weekly and annual, will be awarded at the Annual banquet following
the
final round of the season. The prize schedule is as follows: Individual Prizes All Players’ Tour: WEEKLY: Regular tournament: 1st

If there is a tie for 1st place, 1st plus 2nd place prize monies will be split equally amongst players tied.

The best net score from the players on a team is used to determine the order of finish. ANNUAL After the final tournament, teams are ranked according to total points earned with the highest number of points taking 1st place, etc. Prizes are awarded as follows: 1st place - $100.00
If a tournament is rained out, the Commishes will determine how prize monies will be affected. If our roster is such that we don’t have $760.00 in the prize pool, THE Commishes will adjust the prize schedule as necessary. |
RESERVE: | The membership monies total $850.00 and the prize outlay is $760.00. The $90.00 reserve will be maintained and accumulated by THE Commish for "emergencies". |
