Do players require an official Alberta Golf handicap card to enter tournaments on the Tour?
A. No. But we STRONGLY recommend that all junior golfers obtain an Alberta Golf handicap card from their own club. Players should get in the habit of updating the card at least every two weeks, and carrying that card with them at all times. Most of the host clubs will insist on a player producing an updated handicap card at registration, or they risk the chance of not being eligible to win `net` score prizes. One of the goals of the McLennan Ross Sun Junior Tour is to prepare players for what they will encounter at a higher level of competition and these cards are MANDATORY for entry into official Alberta Golf tournaments. Juniors not affliiated with any one particular club may join the Alberta Golf Public Player Club and establish an official handicap through the PPC.
