Hi I am learning about WHS and need some help
How does combining score differentials work for 9 hole rounds
How does combining score differentials work for 9 hole rounds
This is the third question from this "person" written to exactly the same forumula. Contributors took the trouble to offer helpful replies to the previous two to which the poster made no response. I've no idea what the purpose is as there isn't even a dodgy link to lead us astray but suggest he/it is best ignored.

Good morning, Leslie. Good to know you are real and interested. Rosecott has given the detail of how in the CONGU jurisdiction, a 9 hole score is scaled up to an 18 hole score. In the absence (as far as I can see) of anything in the rules specifically about exceptional scores and 9 hole rounds, I take it that if the resulting score differential of a scaled up 9 hole score meets the criteria for an exceptional reduction, then a reduction is applied. I hope someone else can verify (or refute) that.
In other jurisdictions, a 9 hole score is "stored" until another 9 hole score is entered and then the two are combined.. I don't know how an exceptional score could be assessed on that basis given that there could be a considerable time lapse between the rounds.
A look through the handicapping rules would help you in general, I'm sure. This is a link to the rules for Great Britain and Ireland (GB&I). If you are in a different part of the world, you should seek out the version of the WHS rules produced by your national authority.
