Nope. Both my clubs need physical cards left in the box and signed as it always was before Covid. Much easier to check if needs be
As do we. Comp entries are done automatically (or for late entries by PSI). GP pre-declaration by app or PSI. Scores may be via app or PSI. All cards are in the box.
I think your committee needs to have a look at its procedures and its obligations under WHS.
Possibly do. Although, as some of the well informed often argue when people talk of handicap manipulation, they seem to put a lot of trust in the integrity of golfers and their markers. I guess if anyone wants to stand by that argument, then I guess they'' trust that all scores submitted in that box are genuine scores, and the golfer intended to submit a score before the round started?
There is a clear obligation on players to pre register on the day, via a method acceptable to the committee, for a score to be acceptable for handicapping under WHS. There is also a clear duty of the Handicap Committee to ensure players are abiding by the rules of WHS.
I understand all this. I very much do.
I fully understand this but not having a basic procedure for pre registering general play scores using only a physical card is pretty simple yet very important stuff. All you need is, at its most basic, a tick in a book in the Pro Shop, hardly onerous. This is a clear fundamental duty and trusting to hope on this seems not exactly ‘the most practical way of managing the system’
Tell us more about how.
By not playing as seriously as they would I'm a comp.
Not to trying to sound like a broken record but are your handicap committee (despite your ‘good experience’ with them) really doing their job? Your examples of behaviour in the club would suggest not.
I played with the guy in a few of those rounds. I had zero idea he was manipulating anything. Just thought he was having a rubbish day. He wasn't hitting any worse shots than I've seen anyone hit.
Peer review is a powerful thing.
Not sure I know of anyone that runs to the handicap committee to tell tales on their mates.
I assure you they do and frequently.
Sorry. I know of people that moan when their mates win the fiddle simply because they have high handicaps. In my experience, always in the Seniors section, never in main club. No idea why. However, there is often no accusation of a player manipulating their handicap, they are just annoyed their handicap is high and perhaps they don't have enough scores in.
You may be unaware of this but again I assure you that this is a common occurrence and if the committee is doing its job, they will investigate and act accordingly, often seeking advice from the County beforehand.
We require cards for comps and GP. We make an exception for GP scores entered via the MyEG app. as the attestation is strong.
