1000 Ball Challenge Kickoff Event Sets the Stage for an Exciting Season

Scarborough, ON — This past weekend, Golf Ontario launched the season in style with the inaugural 1000 Ball Challenge Kickoff Event at Toronto’s premier indoor golf facility Metro Golf Sportsplex. The energy, excitement, and community spirit that filled the venue made it clear: the 1000 Ball Challenge is ready to soar to new heights in 2025.

A Day of Fun, Competition, and Giving Back

Over 100 passionate golfers gathered for a thrilling day packed with lively golf action, contests, incredible prizes, music, and a delicious lunch. The atmosphere buzzed with enthusiasm as players teed off and connected over their shared love for the game — all while supporting a great cause. Every dollar raised from the event will directly benefit Golf Ontario’s GOLF FOR ALL Fund, helping to break down barriers and create more inclusive golf opportunities across the province.

“It was amazing to see so many people come together to support the GOLF FOR ALL Fund and kickoff the 1000 Ball Challenge with such energy,” said Golf Ontario CEO Kyle McFarlane. “A great turnout, and the positive spirit throughout the day was truly inspiring.”

Participants left not only with memories of great shots and friendly competition but also with the pride of knowing they were making a difference in the future of golf.

Celebrating Our Volunteers During National Volunteer Week 2025

This week, Golf Ontario is proud to celebrate National Volunteer Week 2025 and its theme: Volunteers Make Waves. The theme highlights the incredible impact of volunteer efforts across Canada—just like a wave, volunteering is a powerful force for change.

At Golf Ontario, we know that our success simply wouldn’t be possible without the dedication, passion, and professionalism of our volunteers. From supporting our Championships and Qualifiers to ensuring Ontario’s courses are accurately rated, your contributions make a lasting impact on golfers and communities across the province.

This past season, volunteers stepped up in many important roles:

  • Tournament Officials helped manage more than 100 qualifiers and championships, overseeing everything from registration to scoring and pace of play.
  • Referees—who complete Golf Canada’s Level 2 rules education—brought their deep knowledge of the Rules of Golf to ensure fair competition.
  • Course Raters visited up to 70 courses annually, helping maintain accurate course ratings across Ontario through both classroom and on-course training.

As we head into another exciting golf season, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks for everything you do. Your commitment, energy, and love for the game help us continue to Shape Lives Through Golf. One volunteer can make a difference—but together, you create a wave of positive change.

Thank you for making waves with us!

Golf Events Golf Hub Golf Ontario

Discover Golf Events Across Ontario with the New Ontario Golf Events Hub

Looking for your next scramble? Want to join a fun local league? Curious about tournaments or charity events happening near you? We’ve got you covered.

Golf Ontario is proud to introduce the new Ontario Golf Events Hub — a one-stop online calendar where golfers can explore events happening at golf clubs all across the province.

From member/guest tournaments to mixed scrambles, charity classics to league nights — if it’s happening at an Ontario course, you’ll find it here.

Why the Hub?

Ontario’s golf community is buzzing with activity, but until now, there hasn’t been a centralized place where golfers could easily find out what’s going on. The Hub solves that — making it easier for you to find great events, play more golf, and support local clubs.

With more than 250 events already on the Hub, clubs that use Golf Genius can publish events directly to the Hub, and those who don’t can still participate with a quick form submission.

Want to Add an Event?

Are you organizing a charity tournament, league night, or fun scramble at your local club? Golfers and Golf Ontario members can help grow the calendar too.

If your club hasn’t submitted the event yet, you can send us the details and we’ll follow up. Just use this form:

Submit an Event to the Hub

It’s a great way to help more players discover the game — and make sure your event gets the attention it deserves.

How to Use It

Just visit the Ontario Golf Events Hub and browse events by: Date; Region; Club; Event type (scramble, league, charity, etc.).

Help Spread the Word

Are you a member at a club? Ask your pro shop or tournament organizer to get their events on the Hub! It’s free and open to all Golf Ontario member facilities.

Let’s tee up more opportunities to connect, compete, and celebrate this amazing game — together.

Back to the Basics of Course Care Etiquette

With record numbers of rounds being played, doing your part to take care of courses is more important than ever. As a golfers regardless of skill level or experience, you need to be good stewards. Here’s look at a few basic areas where a little awareness and effort will help keep courses in good shape.

Golf Carts

Carts help golfers get around the course, but they can also cause damage – especially when people don’t follow a course’s cart rules. Cart policies can change daily, so make sure to ask about them before teeing off. There are a lot of reasons why a course may not want you driving in certain areas – some issues are obvious and some may not be. Wet or newly grassed areas surrounded by cart signs should clearly be avoided, but tire ruts show up in these spots more often than they should. Courses may also want you to avoid extremely dry areas, or they may ask you to stay on the path in late fall or winter when grass is hardly growing and can’t handle traffic.  

No two courses are exactly alike, so the rules will vary. Follow any ropes, stakes or directional signs – they are there for a reason. Avoid turf areas that appear thin, weak or wet. Try to spread out when driving through high-traffic areas and keep all four tires on the path as much as possible. Don’t drive through naturalized areas, don’t get too adventurous on steep slopes, and don’t get too close to tees or greens. Beyond these basics, erring on the side of caution is always a good approach. 

Repairing Divots

Taking a divot is part of the game but the scars should be carefully repaired. The goal is to leave a smooth surface and encourage the grass to heal. In general, if a divot is mostly intact, replace it and tamp down with your foot to smooth it out and restore contact between the roots and the soil. If there are gaps around the replaced divot, fill those with divot mix to help the grass fill in and create a smooth surface for playing. Some courses may prefer that you use mix rather than trying to replace divots. This could be because the grasses on that course tend to explode into pieces after a shot rather than forming a nice divot that is likely to heal. Sometimes the environment or weather isn’t conducive to replaced divots healing so it’s better to fill the hole with mix. 

There are many factors that influence divot recovery, which is why policies can vary. The bottom line is to leave places where you take a divot as smooth as possible for the next player and to encourage recovery. If you can refrain from taking divots on your practice swings and avoid hitting practice shots on the course, that helps decrease the total number of divots that need to heal. Another good habit is to fill your divot and one more.

Ball Marks

While fairly small, a ball mark can leave a lasting impact on a putting surface if it is not repaired. Unrepaired ball marks disrupt surface smoothness, and the negative impact can last for weeks. The proper repair technique has several key points to consider. Start by using any pointed tool, including a golf tee. Insert the tool behind the ball mark and gently push toward the center, then work around the edges of the mark gently pressing the turf back in toward the middle. Don’t lift or twist the turf because that can damage the roots. Once you have worked the turf back into place with the repair tool, gently tamp the area with your putter to smooth the surface. While you have your ball mark repair tool handy, see if you can repair one or two more marks that may have been missed. 

Bunker Raking

After hitting a bunker shot, try to leave the sand as smooth, or smoother than when you found it. Knowing the basics of bunker raking and putting in a little effort is all it takes. Enter the bunker from the low side and try to bring a rake with you so you don’t have to search for one after hitting your shot. Use the rake to smooth and level any disturbances you create in the sand. As you exit the bunker, avoid pulling a clump of sand up against the edge as this can damage the grass and create awkward lies for other players. 

Follow the course’s policy on where to put the rake when you’re done. If they don’t have a specific policy, the USGA recommends placing them outside bunkers and away from where they are likely to interfere with play. Before exiting the bunker, knock any sand off your shoes to keep it from winding up on greens or fairways where it can disrupt play and potentially damage mowing equipment.

Keeping Staff Safe

The maintenance staff does their best to take care of the course while avoiding play, but there are times when golf and maintenance will cross paths – especially with how busy courses have been. When you encounter staff, always ensure they see you before hitting in their direction. They may be focused on their task or unable to hear you yell “fore” at first, so give an extra shout or wave if you aren’t sure they noticed you. After the staff responds, be patient while they move out of the way. 

Going the Extra Mile

Beyond the basics, here are a few other things you can do during your next round to leave the golf course better than you found it.

  • Pick up broken tees and discard them in waste containers to keep them from cluttering the course and damaging mowers.
  • If a garbage can is full, hold on to your trash rather than piling it high for wind and birds to disperse across the course.
  • Do not leave cigars or cigarette butts on playing surfaces and keep those sunflower seeds off the greens.
  • Ropes and stakes are there for a reason, so walk through designated openings and not over or on top of the rope, which will loosen and pull the stakes over.

It is the maintenance staff’s job to care for the course, but golfers need to do their part as well. During your next round, set a good example by using the tips in this article and encourage others to make the effort as well.

More Than a Tour: How the GTA AM Tour Built a Competitive Community Like No Other

GTA Am Tour/Blu Joose Creative

There are golf tournaments. And then there’s the GTA AM Tour — now in its 22nd season and still raising the bar.

Led by Mark Young, the tour started as an opportunity for amateur golfers to play competitive rounds on elite courses around the province. But over the years, it’s become something much more: a vibrant, welcoming and remarkably polished community where players come to compete, connect and feel like pros—even if they’re carrying a 14 handicap.

“People might join us because they want access to amazing courses or to test themselves in a competitive environment,” says Young. “But what keeps them coming back—year after year— is the community. It’s the players, the sponsors, our tour team, the host clubs. Everyone contributes to something bigger.”

And that something bigger is built on intention and care.

“When someone signs up, I personally call them,” Young adds. “Whether they’re new or returning, it’s my chance to welcome them or catch up. I love that moment —it’s how we set the tone from the very beginning.”

A First-Class Experience, Built for Amateurs

From the moment players arrive at an event, the details speak volumes. Knife-flag banners line the driveway. Staff members greet players by name. Flights are structured for fair competition, with Golf Canada-certified referees on site and experienced spotters placed throughout the course. Tee times are spaced for pace-of-play efficiency, and every tournament has a distinct energy—polished, professional, but never stiff.

“You play like an amateur, but you’re treated like a pro,” says Young. “That’s our promise. That’s why we invest in every little piece of the experience—from the driveway to the scorecard.”

The tour is divided into four Flights by handicap, plus an Open Net Stableford format—allowing players of all levels to find the right fit. Each event also has more than $3,000 in prizing courtesy of tour sponsors. And when it comes to handicapping, the tour goes beyond the basics.

“We have a dedicated Handicap Committee that reviews every player’s index before an event,” Young explains. “These guys are sharp — they spot anomalies, dig into score patterns, and follow up directly when needed. Fair play is non-negotiable.”

Golf, Friendship and Growth

But for all its competitive structure, it’s the culture that sets the GTA AM Tour apart. It’s a place where players feel supported—where long-time veterans mentor newcomers, where rivalries are friendly, and where friendships that start on the tee box often stretch beyond the fairways.

“One of the most rewarding parts of what we do is watching relationships form,” says Young. “Some of our players met on the tour more than 20-years ago—and they’re still friends today.”

That same energy makes it a welcoming space for players just stepping into tournament golf.

“Playing competitive golf for the first time can be intimidating,” Young admits. “But our players tell us time and again—once they’re out there, they feel supported. They learn the ropes, they gain confidence and they start to love the challenge.”

It’s not just talk. One player, Peter, wrote that by his third event, “the nerves had disappeared,” and that he was learning more about rules and pace of play than he ever expected. That kind of growth is what the tour is all about.

And it’s not only the players who notice.

“We’ve heard from superintendents at host clubs who say our players actually leave the course in better shape than a typical day of play,” Young says. “That means something. We’re proud of that.”

A Shared Mission with Golf Ontario

This season, the tour enters a new chapter through an industry partnership with Golf Ontario. With a strong base of players from both public and private clubs—many of whom also play in Golf Ontario championships—the alignment was a natural one.

“We recognize the value the GTA AM Tour provides to the amateur golf community. The tour creates a welcoming competitive environment for players to sharpen their skills, build confidence, and experience the thrill of tournament golf,” says Golf Ontario CEO Kyle McFarlane. “We’re proud to see many GTA AM Tour participants taking the next step by competing in our provincial championships—bringing with them the experience and competitive edge they’ve developed on tour.”

And that connection goes beyond words—it’s already turning into action.

As part of the partnership, the GTA AM Tour is embracing the 1,000 Ball Challenge, Golf Ontario’s fundraising campaign in support of junior golf and community impact initiatives. And in true tour fashion, it’s not just about participating—it’s about turning it into a competition.

Each Flight will form its own team and take part in a season-long Flight vs. Flight fundraising challenge to see who can rally the most support.

“We thought, why not bring our players together in a way that’s both meaningful and fun?” says Young. “This lets them show their competitive spirit while supporting the future of the game. That’s a win-win.”

Looking Ahead

With another season on deck, Young is already looking forward.

“I can’t wait to see the players again—to hear their stories, to see how they’ve worked on their game over the winter,” he says. “Our tour team pours their beings into every event, and that shows. We love what we do, and I think people feel that.”

Whether you’re a returning competitor or thinking about joining your first event, the GTA AM Tour offers more than just a tournament—it offers a community. A place to grow, compete, and belong. And now, with deeper ties to the provincial golf ecosystem, the future is brighter than ever.

Handy Rules Reminders For Spring Golf

Calerin Golf Club/Chris Fry

As the golf season kicks into gear during the spring, it’s important to be mindful of certain course conditions, renovations, and guidelines that may affect your game and your ability to post scores for handicap purposes. Here are the main points to consider:

Course Conditions to Watch Out For:

Unplayable Bunkers
During the spring, bunkers may be affected by rain or snowmelt. If a bunker is considered unplayable or too wet to play from, check for local rules or temporary relief options provided by the club. For example, you may be allowed to take free relief from a flooded or unplayable bunker.

Temporary Water
If your ball is in an abnormal ground condition (temporary water), you may be allowed to take relief, typically under the “temporary water” rule, which allows you to drop the ball without penalty if the conditions make it unplayable. The location of your ball within this area needs to be known or with virtual certainty in order to take relief

Aeration Holes

Aeration holes are commonly found in the spring but are not classified as ground under repair, so free relief is generally not allowed. However, relief may be permitted if a Model Local Rule is in place. Be sure to check with your golf course before your round to confirm if this rule applies.

Course Renovations/Temporary Construction

During the spring, courses often undergo maintenance, which could involve the use of temporary greens or tees. How are scores to be posted when Temporary Tees/Greens are used?

The Rules define a putting green as any area specifically prepared for putting. This includes both the normal green and any temporary ones created with paint or mow lines in the fairway. In both cases, the same Rules apply.

The same principle holds for teeing areas, whether it’s the standard tee box or a designated spot in the rough nearby.

Hole Closures
Sometimes, specific holes may be closed for maintenance or safety reasons, particularly during the spring.  If the case, here’s how you would post your score for handicap purposes:

A score from an incomplete round or when one or more holes have not been played may only be used for handicap purposes if, among other things:

  • The round has been played over at least the minimum number of holes required for either a 9-hole or an 18-hole score to be acceptable; and
  • The reason for not completing the round was valid

If these two conditions are met, a 9-hole or 18-hole Score differential will be created either using a player’s Expected score or Net Par for the hole or holes not played.

Expected Score

The procedure for calculating a Score Differential using an expected score can be summarized as follows:

1. An expected Score Differential for the hole or holes not played is calculated, based on a given Handicap Index and a course of standard difficulty.

2. A Score Differential for the holes played is calculated using the player’s actual scores and the rating value of the holes played.

3. The Score Differential from the holes played is combined with the expected Score Differential to produce either a 9-hole or 18-hole Score Differential.

*Expected score can only be calculated if the round is entered Hole-by-Hole in the system*

Net Par

In certain circumstances, a score of net par can be used for a hole or holes not played, in place of the expected score. The procedure for calculating a Score Differential using Net Par can be summarized as follows:

Adjusted Score = Par (for the hole) + Additional handicap strokes received

Course Conditions and Impact on Handicap Index Calculation

Your Handicap Index reflects your demonstrated ability to play in relation to the difficulty of the course. Spring conditions can vary, which might affect your scoring and thus your Handicap Index. Here’s how it can:

Soft Conditions May Impact Scoring
When course conditions are soft like fairways and greens, this can lead to no, or little roll making the course play much longer (in some cases nearly 300 yards). If tees are not moved to account for the loss of roll and other course conditions, scores posted may not reflect how the course was playing in relation to its course/slope rating. This would also impact the calculation of each players Handicap Index that played in these conditions.

Wind and Rough May Affect Scores
Windy conditions and thick (wet) rough can make it much more difficult to play/score well. Unpredictable wind or soggy thick rough can lead to more errant shots and penalties, making it harder to keep your score low.

Acceptability of Scores for Posting

To post an acceptable score, certain conditions must be met. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Authorized Format of Play
  • Minimum Holes
    To post a valid score, you need to play at least 9 holes for a 9-hole score and complete 10 holes to post an 18-hole score. In cases of early course closures or specific conditions (like weather), scores might be adjusted or shortened, but you’ll need to check course rules to confirm.
  • Playing with Others
  • Adherence to the Rules of Golf
  • Current/Valid Course Rating and Slope Rating
  • During the Active Golf Season (April 15th in Ontario)

Remember Your Responsibilities as a Player

  • Act with Integrity
  • Make the Best Score Possible
  • Submit All Acceptable Scores

Spring golf conditions can be unpredictable, but they present opportunities for growth and challenge. Being aware of course conditions, renovations, and the guidelines for posting scores ensures you’re prepared and can keep your game and handicap accurate as the season begins. Always play by the rules, act with integrity, and take into account how changing conditions can affect your game and score.
