Posting Tournament Score

All competitors in JustGolf tournaments are expected to post their own scores. Here is the information you will need to post your Willow Brook score:

Date: June 6
Type: Tournament
Course: Willow Brook
Slope and rating: White tees–69.5/124; Gold tees–65.3/107
Score: The scorer will tell you what number to post after your card has been reviewed at the scorer’s table.

For those holes on which you pick up, you will record your Most Likely Score, which may not exceed your Equitable Stroke Control (ESC) score. If these terms are unfamiliar to you, please read the explanations below.

Most Likely Score
You have been instructed to pick up on any hole where your score will be higher than a double bogey. For all such holes, you will record an X, followed by your Most Likely Score (e.g., X-6). At the time you pick up, if you are in range of the green, add 3 strokes to your score for the hole (1 to reach the green plus 2 putts). If you are on the green facing a long putt, add 2 strokes to your score. If you are left with a short putt that you customarily make, add 1 stroke to your score.

ESC Score
Your Most Likely Score may not be higher than your ESC score. Before you post any score, tournament or otherwise, you must review your scorecard and lower any scores that exceed your ESC limit. If your Course Handicap is 9 or less, the maximum number you are permitted to post on any hole is Double Bogey. Between 10 and 19, your maximum is 7. Between 20 and 29, your maximum is 8.
