WHAT IS AN EXCEPTIONAL SCORE REDUCTION?

An Exceptional Score Reduction ensures that a golfer’s Handicap Index reflects their demonstrated ability.


An Exceptional Score Reduction is applied when a player submits a score which is at least 7.0 strokes better than their Handicap Index at the time the round was played.

The score can be from either competition or general play providing it is an authorised format for handicap purposes.

When a player submits an exceptional score, the reduction is automatically applied within the calculation of the player's updated Handicap Index.

This adjustment will be either -1.0 or -2.0, depending on the score, and is in addition to any adjustment made as a result of the 8/20 calculation. 

The Handicap Committee can override the adjustment if they deem necessary.
