What are examples of scores that are not acceptable for handicap purposes?
How do I know if my score should be posted or not?
It's important to note that most all scores must be posted to your Handicap Index®; there are very few that are not acceptable.
Examples of unacceptable scores are:
- those made while being coached
- while using non-conforming equipment
- when the number or type of clubs to be used is restricted (i.e.., an irons-only tournament)
- when the score cannot be verified by another person (i.e., you're playing solo)
- not playing the required number of holes (must play at least 7 for a 9-hole score and 14 for an 18-hole score)
- when the player does not play their own ball, as in a scramble event.
