Equitable Stroke Control (ESC): You will only need to calculate your "Adjusted Score" if you don't post hole-by-hole scores. If you post your Total Score only, then you will need to use ESC to figure our your "Adjusted Score". ESC is an adjustments of individual hole scores (for handicap purposes) in order to make handicaps more representative of a player's potential ability. ESC is applied after the round and is only used when the actual score or the most likely score exceeds a player;s maximum number. ESC sets a limit to the number of strokes a player can take on a hole depending on Course Handicap. Apply ESC to all scores, including tournament scores. Below is the maximum number a player can take:
| Course Handicap | Maximum Score |
|---|---|
| 9 or less | Double Bogey |
| 10-19 | 7 |
| 20-29 | 8 |
| 30-39 | 9 |
| 40 and above | 10 |
