  • Outside of competition play must you register your intent to submit a handicap card before going out or can you wait till after the round? We should all know the answer to this

The article from MSN discusses the rules regarding the use of a handicap card in golf, particularly focusing on whether a player can decide to use one after a round has been completed. According to the World Handicap System (WHS), a player must decide before the round whether they will use a handicap or not. Once the round starts, this decision cannot be changed. The article explains that if a player does not declare their intent to use a handicap before starting, they cannot retroactively apply one to improve their score or standing in a competition. This rule ensures fairness and consistency in how handicaps are applied in golf, preventing players from selectively choosing when to use a handicap based on their performance. The piece also touches on the importance of understanding golf's rules to avoid disputes and maintain the integrity of the game.
