3-2. Failure to Hole Out
If a competitor fails to hole out at any hole and does not correct his mistake before he makes a stroke on the next teeing ground or, in the case of the last hole of the round, before he leaves the putting green, he is disqualified.
I would think your "accurate" handicap might be more than a bit inaccurate if it happens that you are too often worse than a double bogie. I only mention this because I sense a bit of holier than thou in your golf purity which is not consistent with your own rule modification to help your handicap. I like to score my round based on the fewest golf balls lost per outing. I trust you are not one of those golfers who feels the need to just occasionally mention to me that of course what I'm doing is not by the rules, but it's ok as we're not at the Masters.
My rules
1. Keep the game moving along.
2. Have fun. This means don't take my score seriously and quit at double-par
3. Leave the golf course cleaner and putting green smoother than I found it.
