When an exceptional score is posted to a player’s scoring record, the Handicap Index will be reduced in accordance with the following adjustment table:
Number of strokes the Score Differential is lower than a player’s Handicap Index in effect when the round was played |
Exceptional score reduction |
---|---|
7.0 – 9.9 |
-1.0 |
10.0 or more |
-2.0 |
Where there are fewer than 20 Score Differentials in a player’s scoring record at the time an exceptional score is submitted, the reduction is applied by adjusting all of the Score Differentials recorded in the player's scoring record, which includes the exceptional score.
