This is an example of an online handicap site which happens to be the one I use and the rules of posting scores are very clear http://www.myscorecard.com I don’t know what web site Ned’s friends are using but the Golf Nut is absolutely correct in his analysis.

For example Par 3: max=+6 (meaning 9 strokes) Par 4: max=+8 (meaning 12 strokes) Par 5: max=+10 (meaning 15 strokes) Another method that is a little more harsh is to play that your score on each hole can be up to as much as twice par.

Par 3: max=+6 (meaning 9 strokes)

This rule is talking about score you turn in for your handicap purposes. Not what you record for competition or just to discuss what you shot that day. This is ONLY the number you turn in for handicap calculation. It works as follows: If you handicap is 9 or less, you turn in a double bogey. If your handicap is between 10 and 19 you turn in a 7, etc. Let's say you shot a 96. And you are normally a 20 handicap. On one par 5 you shot a 9 because of some real problems. The score you talk about at the end of the round is a 96 and the score that you made on that hole is a 9. But if you turn in your scores for handicap purposes here is what you do when you turn in your card. You change the score on that hole to an 8 based on the above rule and change your total score turned in into a 95. Make sense? Ned,

I don't get the above. Could anyone explain this in laymans terms? Each member of my foursome keeps a handicap on one free website or another and each feels strongly that double par is max and each has found language within each site to support that. In simple terms, is that cricket or not? Handicap————Score to Record
9 or less———— Double Bogey
10-19———————7
20-29———————8
30-39———————9
40 and above————–10

Most tournaments and clubs continue doing what you indicating in your comments, i.e. actual total strokes or points according to the Stableford system (which I love to play by). But what you are supposed to turn in to whoever records your handicap is what I described above according the USGA for handicap calculations. Make sense? David Stargel The Golf Nut Kerry,

But MOST club competitions and friendly games in Britain use the Stableford scoring system (2 points for a par, 1 for a bogie 3 for a birdie etc after handicap adjustments) and once you can't score because you've taken too many already, you pick up and write down 0 points.

So if you have a par3 the highest pre determined score we would agree on would be a 6. On a par4 would be a 7 and par5 would be a 8. This helps keep the game going. But if playing to post and or for side points $$$ then we play it to the cup and adjust after the round. Enjoy the Game.
