The Rules for stroke play in Rules 1-20 apply, as modified by these specific Rules. Rule 21.2 is written for: • Scratch competitions, but can be adapted for handicap competitions as well, and • Individual play, but can be adapted for competitions involving partners, as modified by Rules 22 (Foursomes) and 23 (Four-Ball), and for team competitions, as modified by Rule 24. 21.2b Scoring in Maximum Score (1) Player’s Score on Hole. A player’s score for a hole is based on the player’s number of strokes (including strokes made and penalty strokes), except that the player will get only the maximum score even if the actual score exceeds the maximum. A player who does not hole out under the Rules for any reason gets the maximum score for the hole. To help pace of play, players are encouraged to stop playing a hole when their score has reached the maximum. The hole is completed when the player holes out, chooses not to do so or when their score has reached the maximum. Rule 21
