Also known as: nr.
NR has various meanings in the Golf category. Discover the full forms, definitions, and usage contexts of NR in Golf.
Non Returned (NR) in golf refers to a player who fails to submit their scorecard after completing a round in a tournament or official event. When a golfer does not return their card, they are recorded as NR, which can result in penalties, disqualification, or ranking consequences, depending on the competition’s regulations.
Common reasons for NR include:
- Forgetting to submit the scorecard before leaving the course.
- Rule violations that lead to an intentional non-submission.
- Frustration with performance, causing the player to abandon official scoring.
- Weather delays or tournament cancellations affecting card collection.
Golf associations enforce strict rules regarding scorecard submission, ensuring fair competition and accurate record-keeping. Players are responsible for verifying and returning their scorecards to avoid NR status in official tournaments.
Example sentence: He was marked as NR after failing to submit his scorecard before leaving the clubhouse.
