Calculation of Scoring Average
Junior Vardon Average
All Scores are calculated to an average par of 70.
Scores returned on a course with an Australian Course Scratch Rating of less than 70 will be increased by the number of strokes by which the rating is below 70.
Scores returned on a course with an Australian Course Scratch Rating of more than 70 will be decreased by the number of strokes by which the rating is above 70.
(Example - Rory plays the Penrith Open and shoots a scratch score of 75. The Australian Course Scratch Rating is 72. As the AWCR is above 70 by 2 shots, Rory's score is decreased by 2 shots. Rory's adjusted score is 73).
No Score Returned
In the event of a scorecard not returned by a player, the following will apply:
- A player who starts a round and does not return their scorecard will be recorded as scoring 20 shots over par.
- A player who is disqualified for an incorrect score card or rule infringement will be recorded as scoring 20 shots over par.
- A player who cannot complete a round due to a valid reason (eg - illness or injury), will have no score recorded.
