All players compete against players in their handicap group. Payouts from weekly men’s night Wednesday are based on the number of players in your handicap group (e.g., if there are 30 players in your handicap group who played Wednesday, then the total purse for that group is $300, if there are 40 in another handicap group that night, then the total purse for that group would be $400).

Handicap groups for the week are sent out with the weekly game sheet and are also available from the starter.

The Men's Club caps handicaps are capped at 36. If your calculated handicap exceeds 36, then it will be reduced to 36.

On June 28th, 2023, the handicap groups will be changed. The handicap groups are now as follows (these are based on your 18-hole Men's Club gold tee handicap):

• • 6-Minus - Course handicap less than or equal to 6

  • 7 to 12

  • 13-Plus - Course handicap greater than or equal 13

All handicap groups use the Gold tee boxes. 

The only exception to this rule is for members whose age plus handicap exceeds 80, who are allowed to tee off from the blue tees on the 2nd, 6th, and 9th and members whose age plus handicap exceeds 90, who are allowed to tee off from the white tees on the 2nd, 6th, and 9th holes.

14 Plus handicappers measure their KP on hole #3 after their third shot, not their second.

Each weekend, the Men's Club sends out an email which has the following information for the following Wednesday:

• Tee Times.

• Handicaps for everyone (click here for a sample).

• Gamesheet for that week (click here for a sample).

• Individualized handicap sheet (click here for a sample).

After each Men's Night, an email is sent out with the following information.

The Golf Ontario website has some Powerpoint slides which explain handicapping (which I can not embed here) so click here to browse them. I will add the Alberta Golf website links once they have updated them but they are currently out of date.

The Broadmoor Public Golf Course is scheduled to be re-rated sometime in the near future (it was originally scheduled for 2021 but was rescheduled due to COVID-19), which may affect the course's slope and rating.
