GH/4 in Guidance on the WHS Rules of Handicapping as Applied Within GB&I Appendix H

How do the rules of golf handle the use of MLS? Knowingly signing for a score you know to be incorrect, whether as a marker or a player, results in a DQ under 3.3. Is there a local rule in place to absolve players of this responsibility where MLS is used? There is no MLR. It seems the Rules...

You need to keep putting until you reach net double bogey, as per a stableford.

If you're wondering whether EG have made a problem for themselves, then this policy will only apply to their elite events, i.e. no handicaps involved so no need to change handicap. The policy is to ensure players aren't manipulating their handicap downwards to gain entry. If they have too many...

WIth regard to the first two questions, ostensibly the answer is England Golf (in England anyway - I have no knowledge of how the other UK nations operate). How they do it is - or indeed whether they do it - is another question entirely and of which I have no answer
