Handicap and competition question

[Lwatson-jones]

Hi

Today I played in a local open with my Wife. On arrival I went and paid the official and both my wife and I advised our handicaps, (she off 36 and me off 28, both official CDH based) and handed over the cash entry fee..

Off we went and play a thoroughly enjoyable Greensomes match.

fast forward 4 hours later, I get home and checked their website for the results, and they are not yet posted.. BUT... I noticed that the HC limit for men was posted as 24.. now my card stated my HC was 28 and we got our shots allocated accordingly...

How do I stand? will my score be counted as WE marked it.. or will they make adjustments to the card to take into account i should have played off 24 and not 28?

TIA

I would imagine if you posted a good score then they would check it for accuracy and adjust accordingly, if it wasn't a good score they probably wont bother checking.

I'm no expert but, as long as the gross score is marked on the card, the computer should work out the final score after handicap adjustment

I would certainly contact the organisers asap if you had a half decent score.
Your task under the rules is to enter your correct handicaps on the card not the handicap allowance or any other adjustments.

If you have shown 2 points more that you would have had on corrected handicap allowance then your score should simply be adjusted/corrected by the committee as an administrative matter. This is hugely easier all round before the results are posted!!!

Thanks for the replies!

I don't think my score is any where in the running!! but I do think I shall check in the future! (inexperience and all that!)
