Equitable Stroke Control (ESC) is implemented to avoid unwarranted inflation
of the handicap index from an otherwise relatively normal round of golf.
Equitable Stroke Control
is applied to the handicap after first converting your index
to your course handicap. Record on your score card the actual number
of strokes for the hole, then apply the ESC before you post. For a recommended
scorecard notation, see Scoring, Posting, and Error Correction
on the Handicap Committee page. Always post
your adjusted score.
