I forgot to post my score the day I played. Will I still get the PCC adjustment?
The Playing Conditions Calculation (PCC) runs automatically at the end of each day to determine whether scores at a course were unusually high or low compared with what would normally be expected. This is most often influenced by factors such as weather or course setup.
When scoring conditions are significantly different from expected, a PCC adjustment between -1 and +3 may be applied to the Score Differential™ calculation for everyone who played that day. A negative adjustment means the course played easier than expected, while a positive adjustment means it played more difficult than expected. A PCC of 0 means the course played as expected, which is the result on most days.
The PCC:
- uses scoring data automatically, so no action is required by the club, course staff, or golfer beyond posting scores
- includes only scores from players with a Handicap Index® of 36.0 or lower
- considers both 9-hole and 18-hole scores
- is calculated only when at least 8 scores are posted on a given day
