What is the current method for adjusting my hole scores under Equitable Stroke Control (ESC)?
ESC is an adjustment of individual hole scores (for handicap purposes) in order to make handicaps more representative of a player’s potential. ESC is used after the round and is only used when the actual score or the most likely score exceeds his/her maximum number. ESC sets a limit to the number of strokes a player can take on a hole depending on his Course Handicap. ESC applies to all scores, including tournament scores. Below is the maximum number a player can take: Course Handicap Maximum Number 9 or less Double Bogey 10-19 7 20-29 8 30-39 9 40 and above 10 Please refer to Section 4-3 of the Handicap System Manual.
