course record & temp medal tee???

[Bobirdie]

I was always under the impression if you broke the course record on a temp tee it wouldnt stand. Can anyone confirm this???

I missed the scratch course record by 2 shots however i beat the stableford record by 2 shooting 45 points.

Our 9th medal tee was moved 60 yards to the box tee due to the fairway being waterlogged and in play for alot of our older members.

I believe any course record can't be valid on a course below qualifying length and on pick and place. If the temp tee is within the 100 yards of the measured course then maybe it's valid ?

I was told about the "within a certain yardage rule" tonight however i cant find a definitive answer on google

From the R&A

term “course record” is not defined in the Rules of Golf. However, it is generally accepted that a record score should be recognised as the official “course record” only if made in an individual stroke play competition (excluding bogey, par or Stableford competitions) with the holes and tee-markers in their proper medal or championship positions.

It is recommended that a record score should not be recognised as the official “course record” if a Local Rule permitting preferred lies is in operation.

Good shooting whether it stands as a record or not

Highest points scored in a stableford comp I'm guessing :thup:

Had ours recently as well

Pretty self explanatory surely. Most points scored. Don't think we have one and all our records are medal scores. Is it a common thing at many clubs or are most records medal rounds?

 

[Bobirdie]

Thanks Homer.
Sam, First time i had heard of it was today tbh. I only thought it was scratch course record and thats all.

I'm with this, I don't quite follow.

There's only one course record and that's the lowest gross score,which was missed by 2 shots. Great scoring though.

Must be a thing some clubs choose to do

Exactly that

We have framed cards on the wall of the best gross for Amatuer , Pro and Lady

But people know the highest stableford score and also the best net score

I understand that. Can't remember ever seeing the best stableford card framed and on a wall anywhere (but there again I may have missed it at some clubs, I do tend to have a nosey around these when I visit other places). No idea what our best ever points score is at my place
