Attention Punch Card Holders
As we move into the final quarter of 2019, we are seeing many punch card holders, especially 25 and 50 round punch card holders, running low or out of rounds. To check on your status, you may inquire in the golf shops or review your monthly statement. You may buy more rounds in minimum quantities of ten rounds at the same per round rate. You may also pay as you go at the same per round rate, but given the amount of time until year's end and for efficiency at check-in, we encourage golfers to go with the minimum of ten rounds. Of course you can buy more than ten rounds, but still in increments of ten; 25 rounds is also an option. This does not apply to the 15 round afternoon pass.

Maximum Score / Equitable Stroke Control
Among the many changes to the USGA Rules of Golf that became effective the first of this year is the concept of “Maximum Score” and a change to Equitable Stroke Control (ESC) calculations.
Effective immediately, for Sun City golfers, the Maximum Score on a given hole will be that score that nets the golfer, based on his or her handicap, a net double bogey. For example, on a par 4 the Maximum Score could be a 6, 7, 8 or 9, depending on whether the golfer receives zero, 1, 2 or 3 handicap strokes on that particular hole.
When a player reaches his or her Maximum Score, he or she is encouraged to “pick-up.” Players can, of course continue to play out the hole beyond their Maximum Score, but are encouraged not to do so, especially if the course is crowded or if there are any issues with pace of play.
For entering golf round scores into the GHIN system, the Maximum Score is the ESC score that must be part of the calculation of the total score for the round. For example, if a golfer chooses to play beyond his or her Maximum Score and, say, takes an 8 whereas his or her maximum score is a 7, the total score for the round must be reduced by 1 before entering the score into GHIN.
The USGA Maximum Score concept is not intended for elite play, but is applicable for day-to-day play and can be adopted by Sun City golf clubs for their weekly playdays and periodic tournaments. To the extent Sun City golf clubs choose to observe Maximum Score, “picking up” and recording a Maximum Score on a given hole does not disqualify a golfer from an event or tournament.
