'FALL BALL' and the USGA HANDICAP SYSTEM
Even with leaves on the ground, golf is in high gear during the fall months.

Autumn is here and the
active local GHIN score posting season is over - but that doesn't necessarily mean that you shouldn't post any scores between now and next season.
So, you ask, what determines what is an active season score and an inactive season score? What happens if you begin a round, but early nightfall prevents you from completing your round (and, subsequently, posting your score)? Here, from the
USGA, is a short checklist to help understand the "dos and don'ts" of
GHIN score posting this time of year:
Active vs. Inactive Season
The Daylight Effect: If you set out to play 18 holes, but daylight spoils the fun, keep these two rules of thumb in mind for posting your score, using the guidelines explained in Section 5-2 of the USGA Handicap Manual:
- 12 Holes or Less: Post a nine-hole score
- 13-17 holes: Post an 18-hole score
