34 two man teams tee off Thursday morning at Brandon’s Wheat City Golf Course in the Taylor McCaffrey Men’s Four-Ball Championship.

Back to defend their title is the 2024 championship team of Kenny Keeler and Carson Inman of Portage Golf Club.

New for this year’s event is a both a Net & Gross Division where teams chose which division they would like to compete in at registration.

Net Division:

• The form of play where sides of two partners compete, with each player playing his ball.
• A side’s score for the hole is based on the Stableford Scoring System.
  
  • A player’s or side’s score for a hole is based on points awarded by comparing the player’s or side’s number of strokes (including strokes made and penalty strokes) on the hole to a fixed target score for the hole.

• Each team is responsible for recording their gross score on a hole on a single scorecard. The system will calculate the net scores at the scoring table.
• Maximum handicap per player is 20.0 at time of draw
• We will also take 85% of the handicaps as recommended by Golf Canada as an allowance in a Four-Ball Stableford Competition.

Gross Division

• The form of play where sides of two partners compete, with each player playing his ball.
• A side’s score for a hole is the lower gross score of the two partners on that hole.
• Maximum handicap index per player is 9.9 at time of draw

There are four different divisions in the Canadian All Abilities Championship that players will compete in, regardless of disability classification: Women’s Gross Stroke Play; Women’s Net Stableford; Men’s Gross Stroke Play and Men’s Net Stableford.

The Dunes was founded in 1996 and has played host to a variety of big events including the CCAA Championship, B.C. Amateur, Western Canadian Summer games and many more. The Dunes is known for its rolling fairways and bountiful dunes mounds lining all fairways. Players will use all clubs in their bag at The Dunes, as well as some very imaginative shot shapes during their round.

“The Dunes at Kamloops is very pleased to be chosen as the host site for the 2025 Canadian All Abilities Championship. The participants are in for a treat as the course is in excellent condition and the forecast looks amazing,” said Bill Bilton, Owner & Head Professional, The Dunes at Kamloops. “Players will be challenged with true U.K. links style fairways, rolling hills and natural fescue. We eagerly await the opening tee shot and making new friends during the event.”

First conducted in 2021 at Humber Valley Golf Course in Toronto, Ont., the competition supports Golf Canada’s commitment to create a more inclusive and respectful sport environment across the Canadian golf community.

The stableford scoring format of the Canadian All Abilities Championship awards set points based off a golfer’s net score for the hole. The points will be awarded as follows: Albatross (5 points), Eagle (4 points), Birdie (3 points), Par (2 points), Bogey (1 point), Double Bogey or higher (0 points). The golfers with the highest total of accumulated points over 54-holes will win their respective divisions.
