Penalty. There should be a key below all the scoresHi - Anyone know what the letter P below constitutes?
Bit of a thread hijack but last week I NRd a comp and didn't play the last three holes and didn't hand my card in.
I know this is against the WHS rules but what should my score have been entered as? Its gone on my record as a net double on every hole but this seems completely wrong to me and will just encourage handicap manipulation by driving it up?

Your handicap committee should be chasing you for your actual scores, so they can be entered on the system, and the reason for not playing the last 3 holes; if the reason for abandoning your round is not valid, a penalty score may be appropriate. Persistent failure to return scores or complete pre-registered rounds (which includes individual strokeplay competitions) should result in further action, e.g. suspension of handicap. If your handicap committee are not doing any of this, you should ask them why, and escalate to your county if you do not get a satisfactory response (i.e. anything other than the committee start fulfilling their responsibilities).Bit of a thread hijack but last week I NRd a comp and didn't play the last three holes and didn't hand my card in.

There is everything to worry about if a committee is ignoring such things. HH may have only done it once, but you can be sure there will be some doing it regularly if unchecked.Just as an answer to your question, what scores did you expect if you did not hand in your card?
It really is nothing to worry about, unless you do it another 11 times, then it really starts to count.

Prior to WHS we had several people who returned their card in less than one in four or five comps, only entering their score when if it was thought to be good enough; if that kind of thing had been allowed to continue under WHS, with 18 x NDBs entered, their handicaps would be many strokes higher than they should be. A strong education programme prior to WHS implementation means that having cards go unreturned for this reason is almost non-existent.
That isn't how the systems work. The software generates an automatic "NR" score (18 x NBD) for unreturned cards when closing the comp (some systems require confirmation before doing this, some don't).It's quiet obvious the committee are not ignoring it, if they were ignoring it nothing would be entered at all.

If your reason for discontinuing was valid and as you played a minimum of 14 holes, you would have been allocated net par for the unplayed holes.Bit of a thread hijack but last week I NRd a comp and didn't play the last three holes and didn't hand my card in.

Neither having a handicap nor entering competitions are compulsory; however, players must be prepared to follow any associated rules, terms and conditions if they do.Oh my goodness, some of you guys really do need to chill out a bit and not take everything so seriously.
