Posting Scores

USGA Handicap Guidelines must always be observed when posting your score. Please note:

1. Post ALL scores (As of 2019, scores may not be posted during rounds that you are playing alone).

2. Adjust any hole score downward when it is higher than the maximum number of strokes you are allowed to post (Net Double Bogey Maximum).

3. If you start, but do not complete a hole, post for handicap purposes the score you most likely would have made. (This may not be the maximum for that hole.)

4. If you do not play a hole, post a score which is the sum of par plus the strokes you would get on that hole.

5. If you play 14 or more holes, post a score for the 18-holes using the above guideline to determine your score. If you play 7-13 holes, post a 9-Hole score.

6. If you play nine holes two different days, post your 9-hole scores, and let the computer calculate your 9 and 18-hole handicaps.

7. For the system to reflect your handicap index most accurately, it is important that you post every eligible round on the day of play. If you need assistance in posting scores, a member of the Professional Staff is happy to assist.

8. If you have any questions about posting, contact one of the members of the professional staff.
