GHIN and WHS

Know your course handicap! New GHIN App!

ESC no longer exists!

What is my new max?

The new maximum on any hole is……… Par + 2 + any strokes you get with your course handicap OR Double Bogey + strokes OR Net Double Bogey

How do I post a score for holes not played?

 To post a 9-hole score, a

player must have played a minimum of 7 holes

 To post an 18-hole score,

a player must have played a minimum of 13 holes

 Use Par + Strokes for

those unplayed holes (Net Par)

When a hole is started and the player does not hole out, use the ‘most likely’ score for the hole.. Determining ‘Most Likely’ Score

The most likely score is:

 The number of strokes already taken to reach a position

• n a hole, plus

 The number of strokes the player would most likely

require to complete the hole from that position, plus

 Any penalty strokes incurred during play of the hole.

Most likely score should be determined on any hole in accordance with the following guidelines

Position of the Ball Strokes to be Added If the ball lies on the putting green, and is no more than 5 feet (1.5 metres) from the hole: Add one additional stroke. If the ball lies between 5 feet (1.5 metres) and 20 yards (20 metres) from the hole: Add 2 or 3 additional strokes, depending on the position of the ball, the difficulty of the green and the ability of the player. If the ball lies more than 20 yards (20 metres) from the hole: Add 3 or 4 additional strokes, depending on the position of the ball, the difficulty of the green and the ability of the player.
