GUIDANCE NOTE: SCORES ACCEPTABLE FOR HANDICAPPING
PURPOSES IN CASE OF DISQUALIFICATION
According to Clause 3.6.2 c., only certain qualifying rounds
for which a player is disqualified will be acceptable for
handicapping purposes. In general terms, this applies when
a score can be established in spite of the disqualification for
technical offences.
An adjusted score may have to be calculated. In order to
apply a result obtained in accordance with a. to h. below
for handicapping purposes, the handicap committee must
carefully investigate all details.
Note: All penalty strokes must be taken into account as well
as the correct handicap and hole-by-hole scores.
a. Rule 3-4: Player refuses to apply a rule in stroke play (incl.
Stableford and against Par), which affects the rights of
another player.
b. Rule 6-2b: The handicap marked on the score card is higher
than that to which he is entitled. The correct handicap
should be used to calculate the adjusted score.
c. Rule 6-3: Player fails to tee-off at the time designated by
the tournament committee, but nevertheless returns a
score card.
d. Rule 6-6b: Score card is not signed by the player or the
marker, unless the marker has not signed the score card
for a valid reason.
e. Rule 6-6d: Recorded score is lower than actual score for
any hole.
f. Rule 6-7: Competitor unduly delays play, repeated offence.
g. Rule 6-8: Competitor discontinues play.
h. Rule 14-3b: Use of distance measuring device.

1. HANDICAP CONDITIONS

1.2 Do handicap conditions prevail when distance-measuring devices are permitted?
The Rules of Golf prohibit the use of distance-measuring devices unless they are allowed by a Local Rule (see Note to Rule 14-3). However, even without such a Local Rule, handicap conditions are considered satisfied when distance-measuring devices are used during qualifying competitions or EDSs. Thus, if the player was disqualified because of a breach of Rule 14-3 for using a distance-measuring device when not permitted, the score will still be acceptable for handicapping purposes (see Clause 3.6.2 c.).
