Do you add up the card you are marking?

[guest100718]

I personally prefer it if my marker just gives me back the card with the scores filled in with the score for each hole and nothing else, to often they make a mistake when totalling it up, not that it really matters I guess.

Slow day for you?

Does it matter? I always check anyway.

The correct recorded score for each hole is good enough.

Always add up the card - adding 18 numbers together isn't the most taxing of maths.

As stated, I know it doesn't matter.
Perhaps youd prefer a good old i brok 100 back slapping thread instead? Or a im so bad at golf right now, or TM are crap or will GI clubs help me, or am I good enough for blades or WITB or etc........... ad nauseum

you'd think so wouldnt you. But some people i play with seem to stuggle to count past 5....

Ask them to use their other hand as well then

Of course I do - it's what pretty much everyone does - I can count too

But don't get me started on people putting stableford points on the card - very few can do that accurately

I always mark my FC's score after every hole and always put my own score down. More than once has there been a discrepancy and it makes it easier to check. Most players I know are pretty accurate at stableford points

I always add it up as d othe people I am playing with, never had someone hand me my card not totalled.

I add up two sets of nine numbers, then add them together.

 

[guest100718]

i just find some markers make a mess of cards and cant add up

 

[HomerJSimpson]

As long as the totals match and it's signed with the score legible for the handicap secretary I'm not that fussed

 

[davidy233]

To be fair adding up is a distraction - score on each hole all that counts

not the totals that are important, its the 18 individual holes scores that you want to make sure are right

What are you distracted from at the end of the round that prevents adding a card up ?

That's what I meant even if I didn't make if clear. As long as each hole matches then all is good although of course signing for the correct total helps too!

 

[palindromicbob]

Nope. I will enter and maybe add up stableford points while going around during a society outing but that's about it. Any club comps I rarely enter anything except the gross score. The computer can do the addition and work out the scores.

I just presumed it was the done thing We always add up scores and check with each other before signing!

I presumed you were signing as marker to say the score is correct! Some people were saying the other day they signed before they played!

Again, I thought you signed to say you had checked the score and it was correct!!!!

There is no requirement to tot the scores up, juts to check that the entry for each hole is correct. I ask my marker to not do it.
