Decision 2-1/2.

Minus or Zero Net Score

Q. In a handicap match, a player entitled to two handicap strokes at a par-3 hole scores a 2 or a hole-in-one. What would be his net score in each case?

A. The player?s net score would be zero (0) if he scored a 2 or minus one (-1) if he had a hole-in-one.

The same would be true in a four-ball stroke play or Stableford competition since scores are calculated on a hole-by-hole basis.
