DQ offence?

What I meant was if the player can enter a comp but cant win it due to an inactive h/cap, does it matter whether its a board comp or not? Unless of course as I said, the comp was full and he was stopping someone else from playing who has an acrtive h/cap

Sorry I misunderstood you query.

We permit them to win such events but not board ones. Unlike other clubs (from what I read on here!) there aren't significant prizes involved and we could have a long debate on the true status of an 'inactive handicap' and it's relevance to a competitive environment - but not in this thread!

I note you later posts on the subject here and appreciate that view; we just have 'inclusion' a little higher on our lists than most clubs (juniors are eligible in most comps and ladies play their comps concurrently in the same field so that in a normal monthly medal you could have dad, mum, kids and uncle bob with his inactive handicap...... - but not necessarily all playing together).

Not a lot of point sending a question to the R&A given that the rules are very explicit They will just refer you to 6-6a/6.

Thank you. Due to many years of half decent education, albeit in the distant past, resulting in a working level of literacy, I knew that.

The point is to attach the R&A answer citing 6-6a/6 to the specific query for ease of understanding on the part of the captain, seeing as how he is clearly a bit of a moron.

then why not suggest printing it out rather than totally wasting the R&As time?

Because some half wit who doesn't know the Rules or that the Committee has limited discretion to adopt local Rules needs to have the question and answer spoon fed to them.

Obviously.
