My confusion with this is why are the Captains left to do that, trusted to get it right and taken as fact. I’ve never played a single match where I’ve not personally asked my opponents handicap, worked out the shots and agreed it with them verbally on the first tee.

Absolutely right of you to be checking every time from now o

That is the way it is done around here, I have done the cards myself many times in the past but I always put names and handicaps on the card so if there is a mistake it can be seen, I can only say our captain was lazy and we should have double checked when we saw no handicaps on the card. Happily the team won the match so in the next round there wont be the same error.

Gotta say I think that should change. There’s no way I’d be accepting it and would do it myself, if I’m playing in a match it’s the responsibility of those of us playing in it to know our handicaps and shots. IMO no way that should be allocated or worked out by a 3rd party captain or not. Just doesn’t sit right with me but I guess that’s just different everywhere.
