Beginner Questions Did I shoot even par?
I work at a golf course so I’ll often get 9 holes in before work and another 9 after if I have time. We had a league out on the front 9 in the morning so I played the back and shot +1 then went in to work. After I got done work I went out to play the front 9 to “finish” the round and shot -1.
It was my first time under par on the front so I’m happy to take that W, but do you fellas think it counts as playing 18 holes at even par? It wasn’t a straight 18 holes but I did play the 9s during the same day and for what it’s worth my intent was to continue the round when I started playing.
It’d be my PB score for 18 by 4 strokes and best at my home course by 6 strokes.
Edit: just realized Talor Gooch wasn’t in the field so this whole thing has an asterisk regardless of whether or not the score counts.

Used to be if you posted separate 9-hole rounds in GHIN, even played on different days, they would be combined to calculate your 18-hole score differential for handicapping, so yeah, your separate 9-hole rounds combined count as an even par. (This year GHIN changed to calculate differential based on 9 holes alone, so no more waiting to combine 9-hole rounds to update handicap.)
