It is important for incomplete scorecards to accurately reflect what happened. Therefore, the scorer should write on the player’s scorecard one of the following notations, if applicable.  

WD – This notation is used in cases where a player officially withdraws by notifying a USGA official or staff member.  

DQ – The appropriate classification for a Rules violation, which necessitates a player’s disqualification – including when a player fails to appear for their tee time without prior notification or fails to return a scorecard.  

Note: In Four-Ball stroke play, a side may be represented by either partner for all or any part of a round.
