Golf Trivia Of The Week (Jan. 4th, 2014)

In Stroke Play, if a player returns a score for any hole higher than actually taken, what is the ruling?

‍

‍

According to the USGA Rules - Rule 6-6d - Wrong Score for Hole:

‍

"The competitor is responsible for the correctness of the score recorded for each hole on his score card. If he returns a score for any hole lower than actually taken, he is disqualified. If he returns a score for any hole higher than actually taken, the score as returned stands."
