Drive TO Change.
An afternoon on the fairway. An evening at the gala. A community coming together to support stronger minds and stronger lives — for the third consecutive year.
Golf in support of holistic care.

The RBC Huatuo Invitational brings golfers, sponsors, and community leaders together for a day of competition, connection, and purpose at one of Calgary’s premier golf venues.

Rules
Team Championship
Team SetupEach team must consist of four players. Mixed teams are allowed, and each member must contribute at least three tee shots during the round.
ScoringThe team’s score for a hole is the number of strokes taken to hole the ball using the best shots from the team.
Ball PlacementWithin one club length of the chosen shot not nearer to the hole on the fairway. On the green, balls are placed within six inches from the chosen shot.
Order of PlayTeam members take turns in a set order to ensure that each player’s shots are used throughout the round.
Tie-BreakTies will be broken by a count-back method, starting with the lowest team score on the last hole and continuing backwards until a winner is found.
Individual Championship
ScoringEach player counts the number of strokes taken on each hole, and the total is summed to determine their score for the round.
TeesMen will play from the men’s tees, and women will play from the women’s tees.
Play RulesStandard USGA rules apply unless otherwise stated. This includes adherence to rules about equipment, play conduct, and course-related decisions.
Tie-BreakIn case of a tie, the winner will be determined by the number of birdies scored throughout the round. If still tied, the count of pars, and then bogeys, will be used in that order to declare a winner.
