The second comment is with regard to double bogey. Read here if interested in Equitable Stroke Control.

I guess your original post about too many double bogeys may have confused some. For some if you get one double bogey that's too many. Some accept the fact that they may get three or four double bogeys a round, in which case they would not be a 9 or less handicap player - the magic number that allows you to adjust to a double bogey on any hole. I think technically you finish the hole, record your score, then adjust it back to the double bogey after your round is complete and before you post your score.
