Equitable Stroke Control
Equitable Stroke Control (ESC) is the downward adjustment of individual hole scores for
handicap purposes in order to make handicaps more representative of a player’s potential
scoring ability. ESC sets a maximum number that a player can post on any hole
depending on the player’s course handicap. ESC is used only when a player’s actual or
most likely score exceeds his maximum number based on the following at table:
Maximum Number
Course Handicap On Any Hole
9 or less Double Bogey
10 through 19 7
20 through 29 8
30 through 39
