What scores are acceptable for posting purposes?
1. Scores must be made in accordance with the principles of the Rules of Golf (play the ball as it lies). 2. If a player starts but does not complete a hole or is conceded a stroke, he shall record for handicap purposes the score he most likely would have made. 3. If a player does not play a hole or plays it other than under the principles of the Rules of Golf (except for preferred lies), his score for that hole for handicap purposes shall be par plus any handicap strokes he is entitled to receive on the hole. When recording this hole score, precede the score with an “X”. 4. A player must adjust his gross score using Equitable Stroke Control (ESC). ESC sets a maximum number that a player can post on any hole depending on the player’s Course Handicap.
