Struggling to find it -
If, in Medal, you fail to hole out or return a score, it's a DQ.
If, in Stableford, you complete at least 10 holes & enter the remainder as DNP, is that a DQ?

It would not be a DQ for a comp.

However for handicap purposes the club is required to ascertain why you did not play the remaining 8 holes and only if the reason is good enough allow the card for HCP.

I would add that you can be DQ if you walked off with no intention to return

5.7a/1 – When a Player Has Stopped Play
Stopping play in the context of Rule 5.7a can either be an intentional act by the player or it can be a delay long enough to constitute stopping. Temporary delays, whether reasonable or unreasonable, are covered Rule 5.6a (Unreasonable Delay).


Examples where the Committee is likely to disqualify a player under Rule 5.7a for stopping play include when:


  • The player walks off the course in frustration with no intent to return.
