The following events are for members only.

 

Golf Canada Pin Rounds

This is a nationally sponsored NET stroke play competition, played on the member-course, under the same conditions, on specified days. Ten Tuesdays are designated as “Pin Round” dates. It is not necessary to play all 10 pin rounds as an aggregate of the 4 lowest net Pin Rounds is used to determine scoring. Play must follow all Rules of Golf (players must hole out, no “gimmes”). For each pin round played, include your name, handicap, gross and net scores on the record sheet posted on the bulletin board and submit your signed attested scorecard in the “Pin Round” box provided.

 

Match Play Events

Match Play events are a fun way to challenge your game while enjoying friendly competition. Unlike stroke play, match play is based on the number of holes you “win” rather than your total score. Valid handicaps are required to ensure fair play between golfers of different skill levels. (Click here to download the handicap calculation sheet). These competitions follow a “ladder” format, where winners at one level advance to play other winners in the next level until overall champions are determined.


Four different formats to enjoy.

The Redmond Cup – Individual Match Play

Women’s Team Challenge – Two Woman Team event. Select drive/alternate shot format (Greensomes).

Mixed Match Play –Two great competitions for Mixed Match Play: Couples Challenge and Mixed Challeng

Women’s Intersectional Inter-Club Match Play – The Women’s Intersectionals Competitions are regional events that offer women from many golf clubs in eastern Ontario the opportunity to represent their Club. This is a great chance to play other courses and enjoy a game of golf in a friendly competition. These events are generally followed by a reception offered by the host club. This is a great way to meet new friends and play other golf clubs. Golfers must have valid handicaps. Team size is limited to 8 women.

 

Other Member Events

 

Women’s Purcell-30 Cup Competition

Open to all women with course handicaps 30 or over and played from the RED tees. This easy-going event is based on NET scores only and allows for a very equitable competition, especially for players with higher handicaps. A valid handicap is required. Your NET score is determined by subtracting your Course Handicap from your total GROSS score. This is a comfortable way to enjoy a little bit of competition as players are grouped with those of similar skill level.

The 2026 event takes place on Sunday August 9th, in conjunction with the Golden Girls and Diamond Girls Tournament. Tee times start at 9:00am. If eligible, you can choose to participate in both categories.


 

Golden Girls & Diamond Girls Tournament

If you are 50 years of age or older this event is for you!

Golden Girls – ages 50 to 64 | Diamond Girls – ages 65 and over (age as of the tournament date). Valid handicaps are required. This event includes both NET and GROSS competitions. The 2026 Golden Girls & Diamond Girls Tournament will be held on Sunday, August 9th, with tee times starting at 9:00 am. All play will be from the RED tees.

 

Ringer Board

This event challenges you to improve your scores on each of the 18 holes throughout the season. To participate, enter all 18 holes from a completed round on the Ringer Board. Each hole allows up to three additional opportunities to post a better score during the season. The event closes in mid-September, and winners are determined by handicapped flights based on your ultimate 18-hole scores.

 

Birdie, Par and Eagle Boards

Record your “Birdies”, “Pars” and “Eagles” on the Board in the Women’s locker room.  Simply claim a single line with your name and enter the date on the appropriate hole birdied, parred or eagled.  You can put multiple dates on the holes, but competition is on the number of holes conquered rather than the total number of birdies, pars or eagles.

Please note, valid handicaps are required. The “Par Board” competition is open to members with handicaps of 25 and over as of the week of our closing event. The “Birdie Board” and “Eagle Board” competition is open to all members regardless of handicap or which tee boxes you are playing from.

 

Dune Dunks and Chip Dips

When you make one of these exciting shots, mark it on the record sheet on the bulletin board. Include your name, the date and the hole #. Dune dunks are when you hole-out with a shot from the sand. Chip Dips are when you hole-out from off the green. There are 2 separate sheets on the board.

 

Recognition Pins

Golf Canada issues recognition pins for women players who achieve milestones for the first time by breaking 100, 90 or 80 (gross score) for the first time ever. Recognition Pins are also presented for your first ever Birdie, Eagle or Hole-in-One! Please mark your achievement on the record sheet on the bulletin board so that a pin may be ordered for you!  Take a picture of your attested scorecard and send to the Women’s Captain.
