Just a quickie hopefully. In strokeplay competitions, does even a single NR entry on the scorecard render the card useless for revising handicaps? If so, is there any harm in the handicap being revised based on the NR being deemed a double bogey?

I know in our club a NR entry deems the scorecard a NR and 0.1 back onto your handicap. Happened to me last week anyway.

I think thats ok, I know if someones had a blob on a hole for a handicap card it will only be counted as a double bogey max. however high the number is so I don't think it matters that much.

I'm sure the system counts the NR as a double and would still cut you or put you up depending.

I'm pretty sure you can't be cut with an NR in STROKEPLAY, an NR is an automatic 0.1 on the hc as far as I know. In stableford it counts as double and 0 points and so your hc could still go down I guess.

The way it works I believe is a NR gives you 0.1 back unless your club is using a computer system based on "stableford points".
If you complete 17 holes collecting 42pts and fail to finish one hole you could end up being pulled using Rule 19 (General Play).
I think this is a guideline and up to each individual club in how it is used.

NR can still get you cut based on the holes completed. All computerised scoring software automatically uses Stableford adjustments, even for strokeplay events. There's no "automatic" 0.1 in the system. Trust me on this. I've spent this season putting in the scores for the Junior medals and have seen many HC reductions from NR cards.

Good news then, otherwise the dodgy ones amongst us could abuse the system in strokeplay comps.

so the moral of the story is if youve had a good few early rounds and then N/R on a hole in strokeplay keep playing and continue to fill the card in!!!
how many of us just dont bother completing the card after n/r ing in strokeply?????

not sure whether that should be an issue in terms of h/c? It's not as if one gains an unfair advantage through it, quite the contrary in fact

You can still get cut on an NR or DQ. The Stableford adjustment is applied to a 'blobbed' hole (NR) or the 'Correct' score is used. So the 42 pointer would get cut.
See Congu Unified Handicap Part Three 16 (Related Decisions)
Normally however an NR is after a 'final straw' in an already sh1te round!
There's also some provisions to prevent players 'building a handicap'.
No difference between manual and computer system. All handicaps are based on Stableford.

So you believe (?) that all over the country, Competition Sec's at GC's that don't use computerised scoring systems check all NR cards?
