Score Card Completion
Please use this sample card and the steps below to complete your score card:
1) Enter your first and last names, your flight and 9-hole handicap on the bottom portion of your score card. If you do not have a handicap, please indicate NH.
2) After you exchange cards with another player, enter your first and last name in the upper portion of the other player’s card. Keep this card until the end of the round.
3) When play begins record your strokes and putts on the upper portion of this card and the other player’s strokes and putts in the lower portion. Be sure to begin recording with Hole #10.
4) As you play, or when you complete the round, circle birdies (and eagles!) and indicate chip-ins with a CI.
5) At the end of the round, add to find the total strokes and total putts for each player. Please, then double-check your gross score and total putts with the other player.
6) Sign (as the scorer) and date the card and return it to its owner.
7) Make sure that your card is signed and dated by the player who recorded your round of play.
8) Each player must sign her own card to attest to the score.
9) Complete your score card by recording your handicap (HCP) and net score (NET) in the appropriate boxes.
10) Using the ESC table below, place two dots above the number of strokes for any hole
that shows more strokes than your ESC
11) Add the number of strokes over your ESC for each hole to be adjusted and subtract that total from your gross score to find your adjusted score. Record and circle this adjusted score along with the abbreviation "adj". in the space below your putts. This is the score you will post in the computer.
12) Until your handicap is established for the season, you must report the total number of strokes played to the hole, not to exceed 13.
13) At the end of the round, you pay 5 cents for every putt you make over 2 on each hole.
14) Post your adjusted score in the computer room upstairs. Then, turn in your card and any money you owe for putts at the table in the Foothills Grill, where there will be someone to help you with any questions you many have concerning scoring.
The ESC (equitable score control) system sets a maximum score that a player can post to the computer on any hole, regardless of par. The adjustment is downward based on the players 18-hole Course Handicap. There is no limit to the number of holes reduced to this maximum score in a round. Refer to this table to set the maximum score for computer posting purposes.
18-Hole Course Handicap | Maximum Score |
9 or less | Double Bogey |
10 through 19 | 7 |
20 through 29 | 8 |
30 through 39 | 9 |
40 and above | 10 |
