Submitting a Score
Principle of the Rule:
Rule 4 covers the process for the submission of acceptable scores for handicap purposes, both to obtain an initial Handicap Index and to maintain an established Handicap Index.
Timely submission of scores by a player, or anyone else responsible or authorized to submit scores on their behalf, allows for responsive updates and provides a real-time measure of the player’s golfing ability.
This Rule also outlines the information that players are required to submit for acceptable scores and how these scores can be verified.

i. A score posted into the player’s scoring record must be:
- An acceptable score (see Rule 2.1), and
- Recorded in the correct chronological order, even if the score is submitted on a day later than the date the round was played.
- Hole-by-hole scores (strongly recommended),
- An adjusted gross score or
- Stableford points.
- Date of the round played,
- Course Rating and Slope Rating for the set of tees played, and

4.3
Time Frame for Submitting a Score
A player should submit their score as soon as possible on the day of play, after competition of their round, and before midnight (local time).
If a player does not submit their score on the day of play:

A score submitted for handicap purposes must be certified in accordance with the procedures set down by the National Association.
