Facilitate the Timely Submission of Scores

The Rules of Handicapping rely on the accurate and timely submission of all acceptable scores. Scores should be posted by the player or the Competition Committee immediately following play to ensure that:

• they are included in the playing conditions calculation.
• they are available for peer review.
• the Handicap Index can be updated for the next day.

The Handicap Committee should ensure the submission of scores under the Rules of Handicapping for all authorized formats of play which includes both competition and general play.

It is the responsibility of the player to post their score unless otherwise directed by the Handicap Committee or the Competition Committee.

The process of posting a score should be made as easy as possible for the player – especially when they are playing away from their home club. This may include use of:

• a mobile app,
• a terminal or kiosk at the golf club, or
• an AGA or golf club’s web site.

As above, it is important that the Course Rating and Slope Rating information is easily accessible for all players to allow them to properly record their scores.
