What you should know - In 150 words or less

If you're new to the system and posting your initial three scores to establish your Handicap Index®, the maximum hole score you can post is par + 5.

Once your Handicap Index has been established, the maximum hole score for posting purposes is a net double bogey, equal to double bogey + any handicap strokes you receive based on your Course Handicap™.

Below is an example of a player's abnormally high hole score being adjusted for score posting purposes.

Helpful Hint!

If you post your scores using the hole-by-hole option available within your score posting app, the net double bogey adjustment is applied automatically.
