I did not play a hole. What score to do I post?

How many holes must be played for a score to count for handicap purposes?

For a score to be acceptable for handicap purposes, at least 9 holes that have a 9-hole Course Rating™ and Slope Rating™ must be played. If between 10–17 holes are played (typically due to darkness, inclement weather, or match play), hole-by-hole score entry is required for the holes played; the system will then generate an expected score for the holes not played.
 

How is a Score Differential™ calculated when fewer than 18 holes are completed?

For example, if holes 1–16 are played, a Score Differential™ is created based on those 16 holes, and the expected Score Differential™ for the two holes not played is added to the 16-hole Score Differential™ to produce an 18-hole Score Differential™.
 

What score posting options are available for golfers without a Handicap Index®?

For a golfer who has yet to establish a Handicap Index® (working toward posting scores from 54 holes played), only the 9- and 18-hole score posting option will be available.
 

Is expected score or net par used for holes not played?

Note: Expected score is the default position for holes not played. However, net par may be an option in very limited circumstances subject to approval from the local Allied Golf Association. The Handicap Committee/golf club will be responsible for communicating to all golfers when net par should be applied. (Rule 3.2, Rules of Handicapping)
