Peer Review

The player and the Handicap Committee have joint responsibility for adhering to the two basic premises: each player will try to make the best score at every hole in every round, regardless of where the round is played, and that the player will post every acceptable score for peer review.

As a part of peer review, the Handicap Committee must make the scoring record of members accessible to all other members for the certification of scores. This may be accomplished through handicap software provided by the club (e.g., mobile app or online application).

Scorecards may be requested periodically if the Handicap Committee wishes to sample the accuracy with which players are adjusting scores, however, the club must not take punitive action regarding the scoring record or the Handicap Index if an acceptable score is returned without a scorecard. The club Handicap Committee may require the return of scorecards for a probational period from a player who has had a Handicap Index withdrawn or adjusted.
