- Submit acceptable scores for handicap purposes as soon as possible after the round is completed and before midnight local time,
- Attempt to make the best score possible at each hole,
- Act with integrity by following the Rules of Handicapping and to refrain from using, or circumventing, the Rules of Handicapping for the purpose of gaining an unfair advantage,
- Submit acceptable scores to provide reasonable evidence of their demonstrated ability,

Invalid Reason for Non-Submission or Incomplete Card
The Committee should then consider the application of a Penalty Score, which could be in addition to a ‘real’ score if discovered. For subsequent and persistent offenders, in addition to a penalty score a committee is recommended to consider disciplinary measures which could include (but not restricted to) the withdrawal or adjustment of their Handicap Index for a period of time and/or prevention of score submission in Competitions and/or General Play for a period of time. The suggested timeframe is 2-4 weeks.
