I have no problem with abiding by rules or even tradition, but I do not see the relevance of the players having to sign an accurate scorecard on the PGA Tour.

Each group has a "flying squad" that contains a walking scorer or scorers with wireless hand-held devices, in addition to the traditional standards bearer (usually a kid carrying a scoreboard on a pole).

TV coverage makes this notion ever more obsolete.

I have no problem with tournaments having this as a rule when they do not have all of the technology and staff to handle real-time scoring. It just seems that is one of the rules for a Tour event that has lost its usefullness.

Of course, there are still lots of players that either don't sign their card, or sign for a wrong card and get DQ'd. But they why when you sign for a higher card, do you not get DQ'd, just penalized the strokes.

Seems antiquated to me. Thoughts?
