# Hole Score Update

This packet will be sent whenever it is apparent that the score for a particular hole is incorrect, after scoring for that hole has finished. This can happen because of manual error by the scorer or for many other reasons.

This packet will indicate which hole has the issue, and what the score should have been for that hole.
