A score for handicap purposes should not be overly influenced by one or two bad hole scores they are not reflective of a players demonstrated ability.  To prevent the occasional bad hole from impacting your Handicap Index too severely, the World Handicap System (WHS) outlines how to determine your maximum hole score.  Remember…this is used for handicap purposes, but a higher score in an event would stand for the purposes of declaring a winner!

How do I calculate my Maximum Score Hole?

Referring to the Rules of Handicapping (Rule 3.1), players with an established Handicap Index can enter a maximum score of Net Double Bogey, calculated as follows:

How do I enter a score with a Net Double Bogey?

To apply a Net Double Bogey, use your Course Handicap to determine which holes you give or receive strokes. Then, on any holes where you have surpassed your maximum hole score, your score will be adjusted downward to your maximum.

Looking at this example, Jane has a Course Handicap of 16. Jane receives one stroke on each of the stroke index holes 1-16, Jane’s maximum score on these holes would be a triple bogey (Par + 2 strokes + 1 stroke received). On holes 17 & 18 (where Jane does not receive a stroke), her maximum score is a double bogey.

This sounds like a lot of work; can this adjustment be done automatically?

Yes, if you enter your scores in the Golf Canada Score Centre hole-by-hole (via the mobile app or website), the system will automatically adjust your hole scores to your Net Double Bogey should it be surpassed.

What if I do not have a Handicap Index?

If you have not yet established a Handicap Index, your maximum score per hole is Par + 5 strokes.

Golf Canada and the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame and Museum are sad to report the passing of Jocelyne Bourassa.

The Quebec golf legend was a pioneer and inspiration to young female golfers across the country for close to 60 years.

“I wouldn’t be here and able to talk about my career without Jocelyne,” said Lorie Kane who won four times on the LPGA Tour and was inducted into the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame in 2016.

“When I decided to turn pro in 1993 she was working with du Maurier to establish the du Maurier series so I was able to learn how to be a pro from one of the best.”

Kane said the lessons included dealing with sponsors and how to give clinics and how to make the game fun on the corporate level.

“All of those things helped elevate me to who I am today,” she says. “I think it was my second tournament I played in that series I was pretty nervous about how I might be accepted or treated and Jocelyne made a point of coming over to me and telling me I was welcome and that if I ever needed advice she was there for me.”

During her amateur career in the 1960s and 70s Bourassa won three Quebec Junior Championships (1963, 1964 and 1965) and four Amateur Championships (1963, 1969, 1970 and 1971).

She also won the Canadian Women’s Amateur in 1965 and again in 1971 and then turned pro the following year.

“She and I went head-to-head a lot as junior players,” says Sandra Post who has fond memories of her follow Canadian Golf Hall of Famer.

“We were competitors back then but as the years went on we became very good friends. She was so much fun to be around. Very popular and very talented.”

Bourassa joined the LPGA Tour in 1972 and won their Rookie of the Year award. That helped her garner the Bobbie Rosenfeld Award that year as Canada’s best female athlete.

The Shawinigan, Que., native was also named to the Order of Canada in 1972.

Her biggest professional victory came the following year when she captured the inaugural La Canadienne at the Municipal Golf Club in Montreal.

No other Canadian was able to win the Canadian Women’s Open until Brooke Henderson’s victory 45 years later in Regina.

Bourassa’s eight-year LPGA Tour career was cut short by injuries but she began a second career immediately by becoming the du Maurier Classic’s executive director.

Post says it was Bourassa who helped make that event one of the most popular on the LPGA Tour with the players.

“They updated the accommodations, and the hospitality wanting the players to have a great experience,” said Post. “At that time they were really cutting edge.”

Bourassa was active in helping promote golf in Quebec at all levels and served on the Quebec Golf Hall of Fame Committee from 2011 to 2019.

Bourassa was inducted into the Quebec Sports Hall of Fame in 1992, the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame and Quebec Golf Hall of Fame in 1996 and Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame in 2015.

The Golf Journalists Association of Canada honoured her in 2014 with their highest honour, the Dick Grimm Award, for a lifetime of service to the game.

“This is a sad day for Canadian golf,” said Meggan Gardner, head of Heritage Services for Golf Canada. “Jocelyne Bourassa was Canada’s first golfer to win an LPGA event in their home country but she took her national pride to the next level by helping to develop a competitive tournament series for women.

“Outside of her playing record, which is very impressive, she was a great mentor to golfers of all levels. Her legacy will continue to shine for many years to come.”

Bourassa, who was 74, had been battling dementia for several years.

FREDERICTON, NB: A warm and breezy afternoon greeted players at the NB Men’s Senior Championship ahead of Wednesday’s third and final round. After 36 holes, very little divided players at the top of the leaderboard, with a number of competitors in contention for the Senior and Super-Senior titles.

The final two games took to the course beginning at 3:00 PM. With all players within 5 shots of the lead, Wednesday’s afternoon would set up to be an exciting final round.

Starting right where he left off on Tuesday was Hampton’s, Darren Ritchie. The 1992 Canadian Men’s Amateur Champion began Wednesday’s round with a stellar 4-under front 9, recording four straight birdies on holes 6,7,8, and 9. At the turn, Ritchie’s lead in the Senior Championship would be extended to 6-shots. A more difficult back-nine would lead to a final-round total of 2-under, 68, enough to comfortably claim the 2021 NB Senior Championship by six shots. Fox Creek’s Mike Jeffrey and Gage’s Tom Cameron both shared second place, as the pair finished the 54-hole championship at 6-over par.

In the NB Super-Senior Championship, Paul Batchelor’s fine stretch of play would see him finish atop of the Super-Senior Leaderboard. The Ashburn member’s play over 54 holes would edge out the competition and secure his win in the NB Super-Senior Championship. A final-round 4-over, 74 led to a 5 shot victory over the rest of the field. Fredericton’s own, Sonny Phillips finished second at 14-over, followed by Fox Creek’s Jean LeBlanc at 17-over.

Adding to his Senior crown, Ritchie also claimed the Dormie Workshop Par-3 Challenge after his impressive even-par performance on Fredericton’s tricky par-3’s this week. Darren received a custom Dormie Workshop Par-3 Challenge Champion alignment stick cover for his successful play.

The Fredericton Golf Club proved to be gracious hosts while providing players with a true test of championship golf. The 2021 NB Men’s Senior & Mid-Master Championship concludes Golf NB’s Major Championships for the season; next on the docket is the 2021 Family Classic & Adult Junior, hosted by Country Meadows on August 9th.

The Under-17 Girls leaderboard mirrors the Under-19 as all three players keep their positions across both championships.

Abercrombie’s Avery Cohen leads the charge in the Under-15 Girls Championship after her 10-over, 82, and holds a two-shot lead ahead of her competition. Riverside’s Callie Taylor holds second place, with Sussex’s Rachel Steeves rounding out the top-3.

The Riverside Country Club’s Daphne Taylor leads the Under-13 Girls, heading into Sunday’s final round.

The Dormie Workshop Par-3 Challenge rewards the player who performs the best on all par-3’s during the course of the championship. This weekend, the Under-15 Girls & Boys and Under-19 Girls and Boys will all attempt to showcase their smooth iron play in the race for the Par-3 Challenge crowns.

Sunday’s second round and final for our Under-13 & Under-15 field is scheduled to commence at 7:00 AM. Players with the highest first-day gross total in the Under-19 Championships will tee off first, followed by the Under-13 & Under-15 leaders in the middle of the day
