Scores in both match play and stroke play must be posted. This includes scores made in match play, in multi-ball, or in team competitions in which players have not completed one or more holes or in which players are requested to pick up when out of contention on a hole.
A player should submit their score as soon as possible on the day of play, after completion of their round, and before midnight (local time).
Post your score immediately after your round by taking your scorecard to the appropriate person or location at each course. The USGA's handicap manual states this location should be “convenient,” as the organization prefers to have scores posted in person.
