Most Likely Score Explanation

Most Likely Score

A "most likely score" is the score a

 player must post for handicap 

purposes if a hole is started but not 

completed or if the player is conceded 

a stroke. The most likely score 

consists of the number of strokes

 already taken plus, in the player's 

best judgment, the number of strokes 

the player would take to complete the 

hole from that position more than half 

the time. This number may not 

exceed the player's Equitable Stroke

 Control limit. (See Section 4-3.)
