Handicap adjustment after away open.

[woody69]

Stroke play outcomes don't necessarily correlate with matchplay ones. You can win a match with a higher putative score than your opponent's.

Indeed. The only hole that matters is SI 5 (I assume) as that's where he gave his opponent the extra shot.

Still when you're as concerned as the OP seemed to be about that extra (albeit legitimate) shot, it's likely he'd lost before he even stepped out on the course.

Nonsense, lots of it on this thread. I shot 3 over par, hardly lost before i started

What happened on the hole with SI 5 where you had to give him a shot you otherwise wouldn't have, had your handicap been updated in time?

Sweeping nonsense statement. It's crass posts like this which do the forum harm. It's like lazy journalism, can't stand it!

Crass? Lazy journalism? Get a grip fella. I merely gave an opinion. You're entitled to ignore it.

I'm interested to know how it was crass though seeing as the first sentence is a matter of fact.

So even with the extra shot he played better 4 better than handicap to your 3 better.

He won the SI 5 hole by 1 shot, we both parred it, so if my hc had been updated in time the outcome may have been different.

He was 4 better i was 2 better, but i was warned in advance he was a bit of a bandit. I think we all know who those are at the club, keep their hcs nice and comfortable for matchplays.

Ha ha excellent! The old rumour mill. Playing better than your h/cap doesn't make you a bandit, unless you're one as well. He might have thought the same about you considering you were also better than your handicap suggests.

The are 3 types of matchplay bandits i see, 1) those who make no effort to get down because they think they will be uncompetitive, 2) those that crumble in medals with a card in their hand, 3) a new one ive just discovered, a guy putting an NR in the Tuesday medal who plays by himself to get his hc up, pure cheating.
Are you any of those?

Me? No, I'm terrible at match play. Played 3 won 1. The 2 I lost I was soundly beaten 5&4 and 4&3. I'm just not very good

What happened to his marker?

 

[scubascuba3]

What happened to his marker?

Exactly, there wasn't a marker. Pure cheating. He is just using it to get his handicap up.

Cannot be done unless authorised by the committee.

I'm pretty sure that the committee does not have that authority.

Competitor Plays Several Holes Without Marker

Q.A plays three holes by himself while his marker, B, rests. B then resumes play and marks A's scores for the holes he (A) played alone as well as his scores for the remainder of the holes. Should A's card be accepted?

A. No. A should have insisted on B accompanying him or have discontinued play and reported to the Committee. Since A was not accompanied by a marker for three holes, he did not have an acceptable score.

If not having a marker for 3 holes means no acceptable score then it must apply to 18 holes without a marker.

I completely agree. And in any case, if he had no marker his card would not be signed by one and could not be accepted.

But, he probably didnt hand in a card so nothing to accept.

If he didn't hand in his card how is his handicap going to be affected?

 

[Old Skier]

Exactly, there wasn't a marker. Pure cheating. He is just using it to get his handicap up.

I presume you have given him your views.

 

[NWJocko]

Do people call you a bandit?

As you, proportionately, played the same amount under you're handicap than the "bandit" you were playing against?
