Alberta Golf / RCGA Handicap Seminars

The Member Club Handicap License Agreement stipulates that every Alberta Golf and RCGA Member Club must have a representative attend a handicap seminar and pass the certification exam.

We host several Handicap Certification Seminars each season in order to educate and help clubs and individuals achieve certification. These Seminars are a more in-depth look into Handicapping and Course Rating and will give attendees a thorough knowledge of the RCGA Handicap and Course Rating systems. The Handicap Seminars are beneficial for club members, Handicap Committee members, Golf Professionals, Superintendents, General Managers, and others interested in learning more about Handicapping in general.

These seminars are typically scheduled in the evenings and include a copy of the RCGA Handicap Manual and other relevant Handicap materials.  The small registration fee will cover room rental, food/beverage as well as all course materials handed out. Attendees who participate in the Seminars take a short exam to become RCGA Handicap System Certified. Upon successful completion of the Seminar and exam, a certificate of completion is sent to the newly certified official.
