In any round of a competition, the contender must assure that his handicap is recorded on the score card before it is returned to the committee. If a handicap is not recorded on his score card before it is returned, or if the documented handicap is higher than that to which the player is privileged and this affects the number of strokes received, the player will be disqualified from the handicap competition otherwise the score stands. It is the player's responsibility to know the holes at which handicap strokes are to be given or received.
