36 hole stroke play with 18 holes
per day
Ø
Golfer's entering Low Net must ensure that their handicap is
available on the internet via their home club.
Ø
It is not necessary
for golfers to submit their handicap from their home club if entered in either
the Low Gross or Callaway categories.
RULES AND REGULATIONS:
1. Rules of the RCGA and the CLGA will apply.
2. In case of a tie, the retrogression method
will be used.
3. For Low Callaway: Dependant on the golfer’s score, a
certain number of holes will be deducted from their gross score to determine a
“handicap”. The holes used for this deduction will be pre-determined prior to
the commencement of play, but golfers will not be informed of which holes they
are until after the competition is complete. No more than ‘double par’ can be
deducted for any full hole taken off. The Modified Callaway Scoring System is
depicted in the table at the bottom.
NOTE: The normal Callaway scoring system
has been modified to ensure that the golfers play the game, not the system.
4. Groups may consist of two, three or four golfers,
depending upon the number registered.
If practical, players from the same association will not play in the
same group. Groups will be men or
women, but not mixed.
5. Medals will be awarded to both men & women in all
five age categories and in both events. Medal winners in the Low Gross
categories are not eligible to win medals in the Low Callaway category.

(This table is for a Par 70 course)
All
Players’ scores are adjusted to a maximum of twice par on all holes.
Look up
the adjusted score in the table and see the number of holes to deduct. Round
up. If a player has a deduction of ½ a hole and his designated hole score is a
7 then he may deduct 4 (3.5 rounded up). Once the deductions are made look in
the column where the adjusted net score scored is found and apply the number in
the bottom row.
(The
scores on the last two holes played may not be used for adjustments. If a
shotgun start is used, the scorecard must clearly indicate which hole the
golfers started out on).

The player
scored a 9 on the par three ninth hole. We adjust this down to twice par which
makes it a 6 and we deduct the adjustment (3) from the total score. The
adjusted total for this golfer is 113 (116-3).
113 lies
in a row in the table which shows this golfer gets to subtract the first 4 ½
holes pre-designated by the tournament officials.
As an example, let’s say that the first
five holes designated by the officials were #’s 4, 7, 9, 13 & 16. Looking
at the score card above, we would then deduct the following scores (4, 6, 6, 7
& 4 {half of 8} = 27), which applied to the adjusted gross score would be
113 – 27 = 86. Going back into the above table, we find 86 is in Column d. Next we look down column d, and at the bottom we have a +1 which
we apply to the golfer and the final Calloway score is 87.
