2024/25 Multimat Program Frequently Asked Questions
Why are we using the Multimat at Olympic View?
The purpose of the Multimat is to decrease the number of divots being produced over our fall/winter season. The result will be a marked improvement in our fairway conditioning as we enter Spring 2025.

Do I have to use the Multimat?
Yes, we are asking all members and public players to please use the multimat during our winter season. We have seen increased volumes of play and we have now entered the time of year when grass does not germinate and heal itself.
Note: if you do not want to use the Multimat you MUST pick your ball up and move to the nearest point in the rough and continue playing from there.

Are you allowed to post a score while using a Multimat?
Under the new World Handicap System (WHS) you are not allowed to post a score while using the Multimat.
Note: The active season in BC runs from March 1 – November 15. Multimats are not to be used during this time. Starting November 16th handicaps will be frozen and multimats can be used. If you travel and play in an active zone (Florida, Palm Springs etc.) you will need to post these scores, and they will count towards your regular handicap.
