VI. Posting Scores

  1. Tuesday Play Day scores, ACE Day scores and all Major Tournament scores will be entered by the Tuesday Play Day Committee, or the Pro Shop as hole-by-hole scores in Golf Genius and subsequently posted to GHIN. Tuesday games that are not played under the Rules of Golf such as scrambles, shambles, 4 clubs and a putter, will not be posted to GHIN. Tournament scores and ACE Day scores will be posted as “C” (competitive) scores; regular Tuesday Play Day scores will be posted as “H” (home) scores.  
  2. Members will post all rounds except those set forth above. Neither the World Handicap System nor the Rules of Golf provide for practice rounds.
  3. Incomplete Rounds: A player must complete 9-holes of play in order to post a score. If 9-holes or greater but less than 18-holes are played, e.g. 9-holes – 17-holes, scores are to be posted using the hole-by-hole option in GHIN.  The computer software will then convert the posted score into a full round Handicap Differential.  If less than 9-holes are played for any reason (weather, darkness, emergency, illness) you may NOT post the score to GHIN, it is now strongly recommended by the USGA to post using the hole-by-hole option to ensure the most accurate calculation is made by the software when converting the score to an 18-hole Handicap Differential.  
  4. Incomplete Holes: If a player picks up on a hole, she records her Most Likely Score.  If the player is: 5' or less from the hole, add 1 stroke; between 5' and 20 yards, add 2 or 3 strokes (depending on the position of the ball, difficulty of the green and ability of the player); more than 20 yards, add 3 or 4 strokes.  However, that score must not exceed Net Double Bogey.  For a player with an established handicap, a net double bogey is defined as PAR + 2 Strokes + Handicap Strokes received.  Rules of Handicapping 3.1. Incomplete hole scores should be marked with an “X” preceding the stroke number.  
  5. Rounds that are not played under the Rules of Golf, such as a Scramble, Shamble, a round played alone, a round played as a teaching lesson, may not be posted.
