185 21.2e When Round Ends in Maximum Score A player’s round ends when the player: • Holes out on their final hole (including correction of a mistake, such as under Rule 6.1 or 14.7b), or • Chooses not to hole out on the final hole or already will get the maximum score on the hole. 21.3 Par/Bogey 21.3a Overview of Par/Bogey Par/Bogey is a form of stroke play that uses scoring as in match play where: • A player or side wins or loses a hole by completing the hole in fewer strokes or more strokes than a fixed target score for that hole set by the Committee, and • The competition is won by the player or side with the highest total of holes won versus holes lost (that is, adding up the holes won and deducting the holes lost). The Rules for stroke play in Rules 1-20 apply, as modified by these specific Rules. Rule 21.3 is written for: • Scratch competitions, but can be adapted for handicap competitions as well, and • Individual play, but can be adapted for competitions involving partners, as modified by Rules 22 (Foursomes) and 23 (Four-Ball), and for team competitions, as modified by Rule 24. 21.3b Scoring in Par/Bogey (1) How Holes Are Won or Lost. Scoring is done as in match play, with holes being won or lost by comparing the player’s number of strokes (including strokes made and penalty strokes) to the fixed target score (typically par or bogey) set by the Committee: • If the player’s score is lower than the fixed score, the player wins the hole. • If the player’s score is the same as the fixed score, the hole is tied (also known as halved). • If the player’s score is higher than the fixed score, or no score is returned, the player loses the hole. A player who does not hole out under the Rules for any reason loses the hole. To help pace of play, players are encouraged to stop playing a hole when their score exceeds the fixed score (as they have lost the hole). The hole is completed when the player holes out, chooses not to do so or when their score exceeds the fixed score. Rule 21
