Whereas, slope rating is used to measure the difficulty of a set of tees for the average bogey golfer 20 for men; 24 for women compared to the scratch golfer.

But if you play an hole round and walk off after nine, that score is going in the bin. If a player has failed to submit a score, the handicap committee can replace that score with a penalty score, especially if it is something which keeps happening.
