Net Double Bogey is the new Max Hole Score

---

How to adjust you score for posting purposes

The procedure is typically applied after the round and before a score is posted. However, when the format of play allows, or when playing a recreational round, you can pick up once you’ve reached your Net Double Bogey limit.  Net Double Bogey prevents the occasional bad hole from impacting your Handicap Index too severely.  

How to calculate a Net Double Bogey

The maximum score per hole for each player is limited to a Net Double Bogey, calculated as follows:

**Take Par of the Hole + Double Bogey + handicap strokes based on your course handicap = max score allowed.

Example:  A player with a Course Handicap of 10 can post a maximum hole score of 

Double Bogey +1 on holes allocated 1 through 10 Handicap on the scorecard.  The max score on all other holes is Double Bogey.

On a Par 4, person receives a handicap stroke.

Calculate:  Take Par of the Hole + Double Bogey + handicap strokes = max score for that hole

4 + 2 + 1 = 7

What if my Course Handicap is above 18? 

If your Course Handicap is between 19 and 36: Triple Bogey is your baseline – post up to Triple Bogey +1 on holes with stroke index values less than or equal to your Course Handicap – 18.
