Catching someone ‘cheating’ during a round

[Deleted member 15344]

I can’t be certain the 10 cards I gave in contained no gimmes. All social rounds with friends

So your recent competition a couple of weeks back was your first round where you actually put the ball in the hole as opposed to just picking the ball up when close ?‍

I’ve putt it in the hole many times.

Mainly on the practice putting green tho.

@Bamberdele21 i had a notification to say you had quoted me, but there’s nothing there.

Quite possibly. I have had a couple of things modified / deleted by mods recently ?

Would I get away with playing the first ball I find after I hit my provisional?

I don’t mark my balls and never take note of what numbers they are.

Assume this was a joke, but it would be filed under 'catching someone cheating' as per your topic title.

No I just picked it up. Got firmly put in my place for it. And yes stableford. Holed in 8 on a par 3 (the ball would have dropped in if I had blown on it)

So stableford scoring and on a par 3 you had played 7 and you were pulled up for not holing out for an 8?

Well if that was indeed the case then your playing companions were wrong and you are due an apology. Let us know how you get on.

Happened yesterday. Got a lot of grief for it.

‘We’ve played with your kind before’ etc

All in good spirits

Didn’t think of that tbh.

I think they were just giving me the heads up. They knew I was booked on for the medals next week where they explained I wouldn’t have got away with it in that competition.

This has escalated quickly turning it into my own cheating thread.

Karma ?

Well yeah.. You seem like you dont really get the rules mate

 

[Bamberdele21]

My next aim once the rules are ironed out will be how to fill in a card properly.

Remembering that when I am marker to put in it in column D and not A, working out ‘course handicap’ and ‘players handicap’ and putting it in the correct box and finally how to work out stableford points ?

I'm just picturing the audacity of you accusing a guy of tanking his score on the last two holes, while you've been playing the wrong ball and taking gimmes in competitions this whole time.

@Bamberdele21 you seem to have become the new forum Timgolfy, a poster from several years back who was also a long hitter.
For some reason, many long standing forummers get upset if someone new comes along and stirs the order a bit.
Timgolfy was hounded and mocked until he sadly left the forum, which was a pity as he seemed a genuinely good bloke.

I know you've posted some controversial, actually no, not even controversial, just unusual stuff and have replied in kind to a few non-believing responses but I don't know why you're getting the stick you are.

I think you've probably realised a lot of this already but there you go.

Sorry Crow but he's a troll. I tried to ignore the cynicism at first and take it at face value and offer advice, but he's a troll.

Just look at the posts on this thread...

He played a Stableford comp where he was told off for not holing out his 8th shot on a par 3?

He thinks his PP, who plays off4, deliberately ruined his card by double bogeying the last two holes, after being level par through 16, in a Stableford comp, which means he'd already have been sat on 36 points and facing a potential handicap cut so it would make no sense to do so at that stage in the round? Also, why would he know his PP's gross score after 16 holes in a Stableford comp?

He got an official handicap after 10 social rounds with friends?

On one of these threads, he says he scored very few points on holes 1-5, blobbed the next two, and then finished with over 20 points in a gross score of 104 playing off 19. That would have meant he was hitting 7 and 8 for some/most of the first 7 holes, and then parring or bogeying all of the last 11. Nonsense!

He's a troll. Don't feed the troll.

because I was marking his card and it was quite clear what he was on as it was well known within all 4 of us of how good he was playing, just maybe?

Here’s my card for yesterday. Hope it helps ?

So you scored 25 points off 19 Playing Handicap?

 

[Bamberdele21]

Yeah I think that’s what the computer worked out after inputting my scores. My handicap has just gone up to 16.4 after putting yesterday’s card in as well.

 

[Bamberdele21]

I didn’t realise until the 15th hole that you could pick you ball up when blobbing. Why couldn’t they tell me that on the 6th hole ?

So when you said you scored very few points on the first five holes...you actually meant you were playing to your handicap?!

And you didn't pick up for 8 or 9 on a par 3, like you said you did?

You've either got a very loose relationship with facts, or you're full of crap!

I know who the forum trolls are but I don't think he's one, just an enthusiastic newcomer to the sport who is having a bit of fun with some of those questioning his honesty.

In the post in which he posted the photo of the card, he said that round was from yesterday. Are you sure it represents the round he was talking about previously?

no you’ve got it twisted.

When I say scored I meant my gross score. The first 5 holes are the easiest for me. I didn’t have a clue what my stableford points were until my PP’s told me at the end of the front 9 and back 9.

And I picked up on par 3 hole 16 on Saturday

I’ll leave these facts here just for you ?



And fyi my playing partner made a mistake in adding up somewhere. Computer doesn’t lie and gave me 37.

Hope that helps
