How do I work out my Expected Score for Hole/s not played?
A player is not expected to work this out, the CDH system will automatically do this for you and your golf club provided “hole not attempted” has been used at score entry.
The score a player is expected to achieve over a specified number of holes is calculated on a course of standard difficulty using the player’s Handicap Index® and attributes a numerical value against any hole or holes not played during a round.
