World Handicap System In 3 Easy Steps

                   (Max Score To Be Used For Handicap Posting only)

1. You Play A Hole Completely: (Called “Net Double Bogey”)

• Par for the hole + 2 as the Double Bogey + your personal allowed course handicap* for that hole.

2. You do not play a hole at all, e.g. lightning; emergency; pace of play: (Called “Net Par”)

• Par for the hole + your personal allowed course handicap for that hole.

3. You start, but do not finish a hole, e.g. lightning; emergency; pace of play: (Called “Most Likely Score”)

• If the ball is within 5 feet of the hole, add one additional stroke.

• If the ball is between 5 feet and 20 yards from the hole, add 2 or 3 additional strokes,

depending on the position of the ball, the difficulty of the green, and the ability of the player.**

• If the ball is more than 20 yards from the hole add 3 or 4 additional strokes, depending on the position of the ball, the difficulty of the green, and the ability of the player.**

*Use the GHIN app to calculate specific handicap for course being played. Apply handicap strokes by hole starting with lowest handicap hole. Example: Course handicap is 25. Add one stroke per hole for 18, then add a second stroke to the 7 lowest handicap holes. (18+7=25).

**Use good judgement and common sense.
