IMPORTANT NOTICE:
For Snowbirds
What is the "Active Handicap
Season?"
The Active Handicap Season (a
term) are dates set out by the
Provincial/State or Regional
governing body, whereby scores
played during those dates in
that regional jurisdiction MUST
be posted for handicap purposes.
Conversely outside those dates
in that same region, scores are
not acceptable for Handicap
purposes. In Nova Scotia , the
NSGA has determined the Active
Season is April 15 to October 31
each year.
The reason we have an Active
Season is that Course Ratings
reflect "mid or in-season
playing conditions" when most
rounds are played. Rounds played
outside these dates although
sometimes possible, in most
cases do not emulate those
rounds played in July.
If you have scores from Florida
and other southern destinations
outside the Nova Scotia’s Active
Season, they MUST be posted if
they too are in their Active
Season (NOTE: Florida,
California, Arizona, Texas and
the Carolina's all have year
round active seasons). Example,
the 20 scores from Florida in
January, or the 10 rounds from
Arizona during your winter
vacation must be posted, even
though those dates are outside
Nova Scotia’s active season, you
would have played in an area
with an active season, and
therefore must post those
scores.
