Incomplete Rounds Still Count Toward Your Handicap Index
For the handful of instances where your round may be cut short this season due to darkness or weather, you should still post your score if you made past the ninth hole. Those rounds can still count towards your Handicap Index!
Beginning in 2024, when a player with a Handicap Index® plays 10-17 holes, a Score Differential™ will be created based on the holes played, and the player’s expected Score Differential for the number of remaining holes not played will be added to that value to produce an 18-hole Score Differential.
To facilitate this change, when a player plays between 10-17 holes, they will be required to post their scores hole-by-hole so the appropriate Score Differential can be calculated from the holes that were played to combine with the expected score for the holes not played.
