For example, if you are a 12 Course Handicap and the hole you didn’t play was the 7th Stroke Index (handicap) hole you would post Par + 1 ( or bogey) for that hole. If a hole was started the hole, but not completed, apply the “most likely score” which is the number of strokes and penalty strokes already taken plus the number of strokes most likely required to complete the hole using the following guidelines. – On the Putting Green less than 5 feet from the hole: Add 1 Additional Stroke – Between 5 feet and 20 yards from the hole: Add 2-3 Additional Strokes* – More than 20 yards from the hole: Add 3-4 Additional Strokes Q: Can a Four-Ball (best-ball) score be posted even the player picked up on certain holes? Yes, the “most likely score” concept would be used for the holes which were not played. Q: If I am playing Match Play should I post my score? Yes, scores should be posted using both “most likely score” guidelines, for holes not completed (including concessions) and Net Par (Par Plus) for holes not played, if your match ends early. Q: Where can I find a list of courses that have active Course and Slope Ratings? The USGA’s Course Rating and Slope Rating Database has a complete listing of all courses with a rating. Both the USGA and The R&A require courses be re-rated every 10 years. Posting scores from courses, who have do not had a current rating by their local golf association is not allowed.
