Score Submission
As previously communicated, PCGA has partnered with the Golf Association of Ontario (GAO) for our handicap system.
Members must first understand and adjust their actual scores to GAO’s Equitable Stroke Control (ESC). A new member or player without a handicap MUST NOT ADJUST THE FIRST 5 SCORES he enters. These first 5 scores must be entered as scored.
Equitable Stroke Control (ESC): is a downward adjustment of individual hole scores for handicap purposes in order to make the handicap factors more representative of a players scoring ability. This sets a maximum number that a player can post on any hole based on the player’s course handicap. Any number of holes may be adjusted as follows.
| Handicap |
Max # on any hole |
| 0 or plus (scratch Golfers) |
1 over par |
| 1 through 18 (scores in the 70’s & 80”s) |
2 over par |
| 19 through 32 (scores in the 90’s to 104) |
3 over par |
| 33 and over (Scores of 105 & over) |
4 over par |
Example 1./ Handicap 1 to 18; par 3 max 5 Par 4 max 6 and Par 5 the maximum is a 7.
Example 2./ Handicap 19 to 32; par 3 max 6 Par 4 max 7 Par 5 max 8
Should you have any questions on this system please contact any of your board members
This is critical to the overall validation of our handicaps and the main reason we joined the GAO and RCGA this year
Upon entering the GAO web site please note that if the golf course you played is not on the GAO list, make sure to then enter the rating and slope rating and leave the name as “AWAY”.
You can also enter 9 hole scores. Follow the instructions on the system. All members should enter their own scores, in the event that you are unable please drop of or mail your score cards to our head office. If you are mailing your score cards, please make sure that they are mailed 3 weeks prior of our Championship so they can get processed. Cards received late may not be processed and you may not get the correct handicap. Or make arrangements with Rui Machado or any other board member.
Also please do not enter scores that you have given us in order to avoid duplication. PCGA TOUR EVENT SCORE CARDS will be collected from the members after the event. Please note that we will enter these scores so you don't have to.
