How will the expected score when hole not played be policed?
Scottish Golf and all affiliated golf clubs will be able to monitor the use of “hole not attempted” by a player through score entry back to the Scottish Golf CDH. All players are reminded, if they are unable to complete a round of golf, they must inform their golf club of the reason, to ensure the score is handled appropriately. Any player found to be in breach of this, could incur a Penalty Score or disciplinary action from their golf club.
