Generally when you go around and get your 3 cards marked,does it have to be with a member with a handicap OR can it be a member without one?

Not to sure,but i would think it would have to be a member with a official h/cap....

At our course it had to be with someone who had a handicap, the wording of the rule was that the cards had to be signed by "a responsible person acceptable to the handicap committe", this was clarified to me as anyone with membership and a handicap.

Arcot is just outside cramlington. Lovely course. Left parklands ehich is at the race course so its a nice step up.
Just enjoy tomorrow mate. Hopefully the weather will be good for you. Dont think touraments are all super serious and you have to worry. Chill out, take your time before shots and just enjoy the new course.
Sure youll be fine a second after you step off the first tee!!

Well it went canny,nerves settled once I hit my 1st drive nicely right side of fairway,then lifted a 7 iron over large trees for my 2nd shot......the new lads i met were canny....gave help and bit confidence along the way.....it was still the shorter winter course but still tough for me.....me and my mate got 33 stableford points as a pair....i struggled a bit halfway through the round but pulled back late on.....never went out of bounds like the big hitters did.lol...that was a new experience for me seeing opponents hitting a lot of 275-300 yard drives....and 3 wood fairway shots of up to 200 yards..Goswickwas my 1st links course I liked it the ball flew on the fairways and greens were fast......looking forward to playing in the next society comp a week on wednesday..at my new course!

What I did take a bit of pride in was 'we' were meant to be off 22 (I havent got a club handicap yet ) maximum society handicap but were playing 'three quarter Stableford' rules so we were put at 17.....and the other pair (9 handicappers) were off 7.....so we had 10 shots on them whereas if it had been a normal golf club game I would have 19 shots off them???...yet they only beat us by 3 points....
