Quick Question
How many clubs DQ a player from the comp for putting in a NR ?
How many clubs DQ a player from the comp for putting in a NR ?
Do you mean on a single hole?
Also, Strokeplay not Stableford?
If someone NR on a single hole in a strokeplay comp then they would be dq'd from the comp at our club. If it was a stableford comp, then no.
Are you talking about the whole card being an NR?Yeah Medal play
NR is then DQ
Three DQs add up to a HC freeze for us
Are you talking about the whole card being an NR?
I think the result you describe is fair for that. It's pretty much a hissy fit, vanity etc, if you refuse to put in a bad card.
If it is simply, 16th hole, you haven't scored well, you can't find your tee shot, you didn't play a provisional, I'd happily NR that hole but still put my card in. A HC freeze for that scenario would seem daft.
I think it is fair to be out of the comp, it's strokeplay not stableford after all, but I don't think it should be counted as a black mark. Not handing in the card, that's a black mark.
I should add, I'd be happy never to play another strokeplay comp again. Stableford every day for me, for this very reason. I'm not a devotee of Strokeplay.
“It's NR not a DQ...getting DQd for it is ludicrous. Out of the comp - yes but DQ - No.
We get NRs virtually every Medal....they don't get a DQ...
DQ s are for not signing, not submitting the card etc etc....
What's the clubs definition of 'DQ' though?“
- Rule 3.3c of the rules of golf will be applied for future competitions and a failure to hole out in a medal competition will result in a DQ
What's the clubs definition of 'DQ' though?
If it means you can't place in the comp then fine. Or is there more to it?
Sounds to me like people taking things a bit too seriously......Three DQ’s within a 12 month rolling period means a HC freeze
Sounds to me like people taking things a bit too seriously......
If they’re manipulating their handicap, by default they’re taking things too seriously.Unless people using NRs to manipulate HC ?
Surely it depends on the nature of the NR as to whether they're manipulating..
Drive into the 1st cut - shouldn't be a problem finding it so no provisional, get there and you can't find it...many won't walk back especially if pace is slow...
Is that manipulation?
You don't have to NR to manipulate...Just miss a few putts...impossible to prove....why go to the extent of NR....
So they're assuming that everyone that NRs is a cheat?A committee won’t have time to discuss with every person why they have NRd
And with it being 3 across a 12 month and we only have 2 medals a month - one midweek , its a big percentage of the medals to NR before it’s flagged
