General Play & Competition Rounds
How to submit a score?
After the completion of a competition round, a player has to submit their scorecard as soon as possible in order for their Handicap Index to be updated. Preferably, scores should be posted at the venue being played and on the same day, as this will be when a player’s Handicap Index will be updated.
Posting of scores is possible by players utilising the technology available at the golf club or via apps on their phones.
How to verify a score?
In order to verify a score and for it to count towards a player's handicap, it must be played:
- In accordance with The Rules of Golf
- In an authorised format of play
- Over a minimum number of holes
- With at least one other person
- On a course with a current Course Rating and Slope Rating
