Adjusted Gross Score

Your total score for a round, with each hole capped at net double bogey: the hole's par plus 2 strokes, plus the handicap strokes you receive on that hole via the Stroke Index. The World Handicap System uses this score for your daily result and your Handicap Index (Rule 3.1b of the Rules of Handicapping).
