As many as you want until the ball is in the hole as long as you don't hold up the play of the Golf course. No matter how bad you hit the ball always watch where it goes and you will not have a problem keeping up with the group in front of you. If you are playing Stableford, you can pick up when 2 over net par because your score is already down to zero. With a handicap of 24 this will be 4 over the real par for most holes. (3 over par for some, depending on Scratch Index) For handicap purposes, the same applies, so you might as well pick up after 4 over par. If it's a medal competition, keep going. Every stroke counts.
You would get 3 shots per hole.
A shot a hole on holes 1-18 on the stroke index or handicap holes, and then a further shot on 1-5 on the stroke index or handicap holes.
On the stroke holes 1-10, you will be given two extra shots. On the stroke holes 11-18, you will be given one extra shot. This adds up to 28 extra shots, which is your handicap. Please note that stroke hole 1 does not mean the first hole. Stroke hole 1 means the hardest hole on the course, and it should say on your scorecard what the stroke for each hole is. If you want your net score, take your gross score and subtract 28.
As many as it takes to get the ball in the hole. Shots over par will reduce your score though.
To calculate a golf eclectic handicap, you track the best score achieved on each hole over a specified period, typically a season or tournament. For each hole, take the lowest score you've recorded, then subtract the par for that hole to get the score relative to par. The total of these adjusted scores is then used to determine your eclectic score. Finally, apply the standard handicap calculation based on your eclectic score to find your eclectic handicap.
Each putt counts as one stroke to your score for that hole, so it's not necessarily only the putts that count, your shots before them do also.
You get a shot on the holes as determined by the stroke index or handicap as set on the score card. So if your handicap is 9, you get one shot on each of the holes ranked 1-9 on the stroke index or handicap index. Using your handicap, you get a shot on the hardest holes 1 being the hardest and 18 being the easiest.
Simply you get two shots per hole, so a double bogey effectively becomes your par. Whatever your gross score is, you take away 36 and that is your nett score.
A bogey is one stroke over par on a given hole.
They give up strokes on the easiest holes, that is, the hole ranked the highest i.e 18, then 17, then 16 on the handicap or stroke index.
If a hole is par 5 for instance, that means it should take 5 shots to putt the ball. a birdie is 1 under parr "4 shots on a parr 5 hole" an eagle is 2 under parr "3 shots on a parr 5 hole" and an albertross is 3 under parr "2 shots on a parr five hole"
