The golfer adjusted gross score is a golfer's stroke total for a round after accounting for the maximum per-hole scores allowed by the stroke control guidelines.
* If a golfer does not yet have an index, the maximum allowed index will be used. (36.4 for men, 40.4 for women)
Our software supports four options for AGS calculation:
2020 stroke control (recommended): Maximum hole score allowed is a "Net Double Bogey" (2 over par plus allowed handicap strokes).
Pre-2020 stroke control:
18 hole handicap
Limitation on any hole
9 or less
Double Bogey
10 through 19

20 through 29

30 through 39

No Stroke Reduction: The AGS will equal the gross score. This is not recommended because an unusually high score on a hole can greatly increase a golfer's handicap.
