Net Double Bogey rule is the downward adjustment of hole scores, for handicap purposes, in order to make your handicap more representative of your potential scoring ability. The maximum number that you can post on any hole depends on your COURSE HANDICAP, not your index. For handicap purposes, you must adjust any hole score that is higher than the maximum number you can post. There is no limit to the number of hole scores you can adjust. When marking an adjusted score on your card, add an ‘x’ after the score.
NET DOUBLE BOGEY (Nickname: P2P)
PAR + 2 + POPS
The Net Double Bogey rule is calculated by adding Par + 2 + pops/strokes for each hole to get to your maximum score on that hole.
The number of pops/strokes given each player is determined by reference to their Handicap Index and the Course Handicap. The Course Handicap for the Jones Course and the Pate Course can be found posted in the Locker Room and at the Pro Shop. It can also be found online on the GHIN app.
Examples:
A player gets 2 pops on a Par 5, her Net Double Bogey/P2P for that hole is 5+2+2=9.
A player gets 2 pops on a Par 4, her Net Double Bogey/P2P for that hole is 4+2+2=8
A player gets 2 pops on a Par 3, her Net Double Bogey/P2P for that hole is 3+2+2=7
A player gets 1 pop on a Par 5, her Net Double Bogey/P2P for that hole is 5+2+1=8
A player gets 1 pop on a Par 4, her Net Double Bogey/P2P for that hole is 4+2+1=7
A player gets 1 pop on a Par 3, her Net Double Bogey/P2P for that hole is 3+2+1=6
A player gets 0 pops on a Par 5, Par 4 or a Par 3, her Net Double Bogey is 7, 6 and 5, respectively.
