I was not sure about this. I have never had an "official" handicap where I posted at on a computer at a club. I use two online sites (OOOB and Fairway Flies and there I post score put hole and the site does make adjustments. I do not know how the score is entered at the club computer, if it is just total score then I would thing one would mark their card where adjust ments needed to be made, if hole by hole then maybe it is the same as the online sites.

Ethically I agree with TC and everyone else, what you shoot you put on the card! Only way you will ever get better is being truthful to yourself.

White Rhine - when i finish a round at my club - theres a computer i log into for my GHIN. it doesnt adjust my equitable stroke count for me - so i have to check my scorecard. My handicap says i cannot enter a score over 7 on a hole.
knowing me - ill have one or two holes like that. so i subtract them from my round and post the score at the computer. I used OOB last year and still enter all my rounds into it - it tracks progress and stuff which is nice.

As for picking up and finishing - thats a cop out. I played with a guy that did that a few times - but he wasnt doing it for handicap reasons - he was just giving up on the hole. if they are doing that bad i usually just let it go - unless im feeling peppy in which case ill make a wise crack lol
