YEARBOOK 2012 4 www.GAO.ca Committee Reports
HANDICAP AND COURSE RATING REPORT
Members of the Handicap and Course Rating committee met during the 2012 season to fulfill committee mandates in the following areas:
Handicap Licensing and Certification Each member club of the Golf Association of Ontario/Golf Canada (GAO/GC) issu- ing handicap factors must have a handicap committee. At least one member of the handicap committee must take a handicap certification seminar course conducted by the GAO. The GAO conducted five handicap certification seminars allowing 105 members from 49 clubs to become certified handicap officials. The GAO also launched an online handicap certification course, which another 26 registered for and achieved certification for 18 clubs. The GAO Handicap/Course Rating depart- ment also conducted several club member educational sessions to promote the handicap system in concert with the host club’s handicap committee. These sessions were conducted to explain the player’s responsibilities to maintaining a handicap factor in the Golf Canada Handicap System, and to promote the efforts of the club handicap committee who is acting on behalf of the GAO/GC.
There are 418 member clubs that have signed and returned the Golf Canada Handi- cap License Agreement. There are 167 licences which expire December 31, 2012, and these clubs will have to renew their agreement to fulfill club obligations in the program. The agreement helps to ensure compliance with the Golf Canada Handi- cap System and authorizes those golf clubs to issue valid handicap factors to their members. The majority of our member clubs (318) continue to use the Golf Canada Network (handicap software) to maintain handicap factors for their membership.
