That is correct as per the rules. See quote below.

"The official scorer begins by applying "double-par" stroke control to
Howard's card. This means that the score for each hole is compared to
double the par for that hole. If any score exceeds double par, the score
is downward-adjusted to double-par for that hole.

I've been using the Callaway s/s that you supplied, and all seems to
be well. However...

I have the following scores / pars entered in the spreadsheet:

Golfer 1 has the following scores: 5, 7, 9, 9, 5, 8, 8, 7, 8, 8, 6, 6,
8, 6, 6, 6, 9, 8
When I total these individually, I get a total of 129.
When it gets totalled in the s/s, it shows a total of 125.


The hole pars are = 5, 4, 4, 5, 3, 5, 4, 3, 4, 4, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 4, 5,
3
This gives a double par total of = 144

As you can see, the hole score is not greater than double the par, so
the raw score should be calculated as 129 and not 125 as it is
showing. Unless, under the Calloway Rules, the individaul hole scores
are checked against their par score. If this is the case, for Hole 3
with a par of 4 but a hole score of 9, the hole would only show a
score of 8. If this is replicated over all holes, this would indeed
give a total score of 125.


Can you help?
