Can a General Penalty be Retrospectively Applied

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Again, what really is the difference between whatever you call a serious comp and a casual game? Other than people over inflating the importance of playing for a plastic trophy and their name on a board or £30 of shop credit?

In my opinion they are the same thing. It’s just a round of golf.

I beg to differ. I view and approach playing a formal club competition round of golf in a totally different way from a friendly rollup knock. That said, if I choose to play in, such as, a rollup stableford that is pre-registered for WHS purposes I do not obsess over having to submit a card. I play the round and submit the card - its just a score that gets chucked into my pond of 20 scores. If its a goodie then it floats and becomes, or is likely to become, one of my eight. If it's rubbish it sinks to the bottom of my pond with no impact, and unlikely to have any great impact in the future.
