Guess I'd have to vote for getting new easier to read/use scorecards.....
No that was a long time ago - just no point in it - in a comp the computer works out your points and in a social round who caresBut you said you were baffled why they write the points down - so you've only thought of this in terms of how it affects you?
Does it do that half way round for you then? Or with two holes to go?No that was a long time ago - just no point in it - in a comp the computer works out your points and in a social round who cares
It says strokess received = 13, so ninth hole should be three points.Course Handicap must be written on the card?
So if it is in fact 13 course handicap then strokes received is 12 for stableford.
He has used the SI on the right and crossed out the SI on the left.It says strokess received = 13, so ninth hole should be three points.
As I said it will probably be marked wrongly anywayDoes it do that half way round for you then? Or with two holes to go?
You can not score stableford points, when playing with and against others, against anything other than the correct playing handicap for individual strokeplay which is 95% of course handicap.
Not applying the 95% is cheating if it disadvantages some (lower handicaps) and advantages others by allowing them to play off a falsely higher playing handicap for individual strokeplay.
our club put on its opening page a photo of how to fill in a card. I had a look and I thought it was wrong. I contacted the club and pointed it out. Technically I was right but wrong. The card was marked at 95% for the comp so the players card had one shot less. But it had not been mentioned. Anyway I was talking to the comp Secretary and he said that the first comp after lockdown when cards had to be handed in.75% of the cards were filled in wrong. If they had DQd everyone they thought they would of had a riot. So they put the photo on the opening page. They put it down to people filling in cards for 2 people, filling in the IG app and new members not knowing how to fill in cards correctly.
Come on Smiffy, put us out of our misery.
Which course is it Smiffy?
As far as I remember, the S.I. is normally the same for the white and yellow tees, it's just the red tees that are different.
I could be wrong
I think hat was the frustrating thing for the club/comp Secretary. They had advised everyone Via an email. They had been proactive and ended up being reactive.rather than rightly realising that they havent correctly advised everyone what they require since the rules changed
Someone else mentioned it before but I think the position of the columns is everything. If I look at my club's card, which I think is fairly standard, it goes: white yards - par - yellow yards - S.I. - all your score boxes - red yards - red par - red S.I.Sorry, thought I'd mentioned it above.....
It's all about the stroke indices shown on the card.
Very confusing, and I did say "spot the mistake, or is it me"
Rightly, (or wrongly), I assumed that the stroke indices shown on the right of the card related to the ladies tees.
I would have personally marked the card going off the indices shown on the left.
