Welcome

My name is Nick Doran, and I am the former president of the UCSD Casual Golf Club.

I am going to post rules decisions as I encounter them on the golf course. I am pretty sure that I will be able to come up with at least one rule nugget for each round that I play.

1/2/17 - The Crossings

I played The Crossings, and I was only able to finish 16 holes before it got dark.  So can I post that score for my handicap?

The answer is yes.  If you play 7 to 12 holes, then you can post a 9-hole score.  If you play 13 or more, then you can post an 18 hole score.

So what do you do with the holes that you didn't play?  You post par plus (or minus) any strokes allowed by your handicap.

My index is presently 20.8.  The slope at The Crossings is 125 from the whites.  That means my course handicap is 23.  So I get one stroke on each hole, and then two strokes on the five toughest holes.  Hole #17 is a par 3, and is the number 14 handicap.  So I got a fictitious bogey there.  And hole #18 is a par 4, and is the number 2 handicap.  So a hypothetical double-bogey.  I was at 84 through 16 holes, so I posted a 94.
