Rule 32 109<br />
In handicap bogey, par and Stableford competitions, the competitor with the<br />
lowest net score at a hole takes the honour at the next teeing ground.<br />
a. Bogey and Par Competitions<br />
<strong>The</strong> scoring for bogey and par competitions is made as in match play.<br />
Any hole for which a competitor makes no return is regarded as a loss. <strong>The</strong><br />
winner is the competitor who is most successful in the aggregate <strong>of</strong> holes.<br />
<strong>The</strong> marker is responsible for marking only the gross number <strong>of</strong> strokes for<br />
each hole where the competitor makes a net score equal to or less than the<br />
fixed score.<br />
Note 1: <strong>The</strong> competitor’s score is adjusted by deducting a hole or holes<br />
under the applicable Rule when a penalty other than disqualification is<br />
incurred under any <strong>of</strong> the following:<br />
• Rule 4 Clubs<br />
• Rule 6-4 Caddie<br />
• Any Local Rule or Condition <strong>of</strong> Competition for which there is a<br />
maximum penalty per round.<br />
<strong>The</strong> competitor is responsible for reporting the facts regarding such a breach<br />
to the Committee before he returns his score card so that the Committee<br />
may apply the penalty. If the competitor fails to report his breach to the<br />
Committee, he is disqualified.<br />
Note 2: If the competitor is in breach <strong>of</strong> Rule 6-3a (Time <strong>of</strong> Starting) but<br />
arrives at his starting point, ready to play, within five minutes after his starting<br />
time, or is in breach <strong>of</strong> Rule 6-7 (Undue Delay; Slow Play), the Committee<br />
will deduct one hole from the aggregate <strong>of</strong> holes. For a repeated <strong>of</strong>fence<br />
under Rule 6-7, see Rule 32-2a.
