Handicapping and Posting Scores           ► Posting Scores for USGA Handicaps        ► Sample Scoring with ESC        ► Equitable Stroke Control Table

Overview of Posting Scores for USGA Handicaps To Our Members: In order to have equity in tournaments and in particular our men's league, it is imperative that each individual golfer record his/her acceptable scores. Below you will find a brief overview of scoring and handicap regulations as established by the USGA. All 9 and 18-hole scores should be posted for handicapping. All posted scores should have Equitable Stroke Control (ESC) applied (see below). Posting an away score requires the course/slope ratings of the away course. If you play 7 to 12 holes, a 9-hole score should be posted. If you play 13 or more holes, an 18-hole score should be posted. If you start but do not complete a hole or a stroke is conceded, you should record for handicap purposes the score you most likely would have made. If you do not play a hole, your score for that hole for handicap purposes shall be par plus any handicap strokes you are entitled to receive on the hole. Sample Scoring with ESC Example: An 11-handicapper (maximum score of 7 on a hole) plays the first 7 holes as indicated below. A 9-hole ESC score of 43 should be posted with a correction on hole #2 (ESC) and scores added according to the (unplayed hole) rules on holes #8 and #9 (both unplayed).
