Subject: Active Season
The active season is the period of time, determined by
the authorized golf association having jurisdiction in a
given area, during which scores made there will be accepted
for handicap purposes. Although the BCGA establishes the
active season for posting scores in British Columbia is
March 1st to
November 15th,
it is up to the handicap committee at each club to determine
if their course conditions are such that it should open for
the posting of scores. Adverse conditions, such as snow,
heavy rain, or even extreme heat will affect the courses
normal scoring difficulty (effective playing length). The
committee should remember that each course was rated based
on the playing conditions as they may be on July 1st
of each year. If the effective playing
length of the course cannot be maintained by placing yardage
markers forward when the course is wet, or back when the
course is dry and hard, the committee should determine the
course is closed for posting.
