Re: Signing a correct scorecard
A perfect example was Henrik Stenson in last weeks Duesche Bank International Open, he double hit his ball a few times and couldn't be sure how many times he'd hit it, so had to return a no score, so if he didn't know, how would scorers and officials?
Slightly off the subject but a guy a played with last Saturday shot a 77 in Captains Day, I thought it strange when he took his card off the other player in our 3 ball and dissappeared (it's traditional for players at our club to go straight to the computer and enter scores immediately). The guy who marked his card told him he wasn't great at scoring on the 1st tee and would ask his score after every hole. Anyway, he went back out to play again. When I checked the results thefolloiwng day, he was down as having shot a 75, low and behold his handicap was not altered as he was only +1 with this score. His handicap has been steadily going down over the last few weeks even though his scores have been worse than mine (he has access to the system), so I was watching him closely and am 110% positive he shot a 77. The 77 would have given him an adjustment of +0.2, back up to 5 (4.6) I suppose there wil always be some corrupt players out there! I don't want to make anything of it, it just angers me when I'm working so hard at trying to get my handicap down.
