14 holes

how do I enter this for my handicap?

This is what's in the Handicap manual

"Posting a score when a complete round is not played
If 13 or more holes are played, the player must post an 18-hole score. If 7 to 12 holes are played, the player must post a nine-hole score. In either case, scores for unplayed holes must be recorded as par plus any handicap strokes that the player is entitled to receive on the unplayed holes.
Example: A player with a Course Handicap of 30 stops playing after 16 holes because of darkness. Hole 17 is a par 3 and is the number 18 handicap-stroke hole. The player will record 3 (par) plus 1 handicap stroke for an X-4 on hole 17. Hole 18 is a par 4 and is the number 12 handicap-stroke hole. The player will record 4 (par) plus 2 handicap strokes for an X-6 on hole 18."

So if you played only 14 holes you would adjust your score as above for the holes not played. Hope this helps.

yep...many thanks. Further to this, the course we played was a short one, only par 32/33 (there are 3 nines, we played maple/pine) but the slope is 115 and the rating is 68.1 according to their web site. Doesn't that seem a little high for par 65?

it's not listed when I try to enter it using the RM handicapping on this site.

Use manual entry for unlisted courses. A course needs to be a member of the RCGA to be included in the DB. Public courses with no members often opt out of RCGA membership.

I cannot find this ruling on the RCGA USGA or R&A. Where did you find this ruling?
