Apologies, missed this one. DM me if you're ever looking again.

Our concern was, do we stop the next round being played? What happens if it's played then we have to retroactively DQ?

UPDATE: Union have advised that whilst unfortunate, the information came to light at a later stage, so ruling can be made. Team 1 are disqualified due to playing off wrong handicaps.

The match was won on extra holes, on a Stroke Index where that extra shot would have made the difference. Ah, yes. Apologies, I'm not one of the players. I'm on the committee tasked with dealing with it.

In short, a player on Team 1 got a handicap reduction from a 4ball comp which he didn't know.

It's a weird one. The R&A actually state this in Rule 5(a)7. When a match is determined to be final once the result is recorded on an official scoreboard, the Committee may take responsibility for recording the winner's name on the scoreboard or it may pass that responsibility to the players...

Foursomes Match Play Team 1 have stated handicaps where one player stated a handicap a shot higher than he should have been getting by accident. Team 2 have played off their correct handicaps. Team 2 thought it wasn't right, but didn't verify it and agreed to tee off and completed the match...

We had this exact same sentiment at my club, where the membership were consistenyl moaning about 25 handicappers winning with a Nett 60. Until I crunched the numbers for them and pointed out that the old Cat 1 golfers made up just 6% of our membership, yet won 13% of all handicap competitions...

Barry and John are both good at Clarke's Golf Centre in Rainford. Fitting wise, Kev there fitted me and was great, know he's fitted a few of my friends who have all had positive experiences.
