Policies and Procedures

  • The Twlv Stix Golf Tour has been designed for amateurs with a Golf Canada handicap factor of 0 to 18. You must be a member of Golf Canada and have a verifiable index to compete on The Twlv Stix Tour.

    If you have been using another app to calculate your handicap, our handicap committee can consider it once verification of dates and scores has been completed. All scores must be transferred over to your new Golf Canada app.

    All Tour members must input all 18-hole scores annually.

    We will not have flights this season.

  • All Twlv Stix Tour Card holders are guaranteed a spot in each event. Registration for card holders takes priority over guest registration.

    Timeline for when registration closes will vary with each golf course/tournament, this will also affect Guest registrations if need be.

  • Cancellation and refund dates will be on a tournament to tournament bases. This information will be provided upon opening registration for tournaments.

  • If you withdraw or no show after the specified dates provided for the tournament, you will forfeit your fees and there will be no refund.

  • Though we want to play competitive golf we will allow some ease out on the course, meant to speed up the pace of play.

    Regular Rules of Golf apply at all times. Refer to Members Handbook for the most common rules to know during competition.

    Local Rule for Lost ball and Out-of-bounds is an option with 2-stroke penalty.

    Slow play will not be tolerated as we will not be invited back to the course if our tour takes too long.

    STANDARD RULES ARE POLICED BY ALL TWLV STIX MEMBERS. MEMBERS CAUGHT BREAKING RULES AFTER 1 WARNING ARE REMOVED FROM THE LEAGUE WITH NO REFUND

  • The tournament is always a go, even if it is raining. The elements are a part of golf. No fair weather golfers here.

    With some golf courses, If you choose to quit, you may head to the pro shop and receive a rain cheque. You will be marked as DNF. We will know before each round if this option is available.

    If we have a rain delay/lightning, please watch for a group text outlining procedure, don’t leave and assume the round is cancelled or you will be marked as DNF

    If we experience a significant delay or period of bad weather and it’s unlikely the full group will finish 18 holes due to daylight issues or timing. We will determine procedure at that time depending on courses protocol.
