Multiple 9-Hole Casual Rounds

In casual play, when multiple individual nines are played on the same day, the Handicap Committee has discretion to instruct players on how to post scores for handicap purposes. For instance, when two individual 9-hole rounds are played, the Handicap Committee can advise players to post two 9-hole scores or treat the two nines played as an 18-hole score and post as such. In these instances, the Handicap Committee should consider intent. If there was intent to play 9 holes, such as 9 holes played in the morning with friends and another 9 holes played in the late afternoon with a spouse, then these 9-hole scores should be posted separately. In addition, the same principle of intent applies when 27 holes are played in one day. For example, if there was intent to play 18 holes in the morning, and a subsequent 9-hole round was played in the afternoon, it would be advisable for players to post an 18-hole score for the first two nines and a 9-hole score for the final nine.
