Just a quick one regarding handicaps

[Spark.]

Playing my first medal tomorrow and hoping to get a few bounce games to work out a handicap before a stableford next weekend. One of my mates who plays out another club is coming up for a bounce game on friday. Would he be able to sign my scorecard for handicap purposes or does it have to be a member of the same club that signs?

Probably a daft question but hey ho.

Em ask at the club? The "rules" differ between clubs with regards about how to get an initial handicap.

Definitely worth asking them, I asked the same question of our club pro a few years ago and was told they'd accept cards with a signature from anyone with an active handicap.

Aye was gonna ask, just wondering if there was a definite answer without having to phone up. Id imagine my club would be fine with it, my mates got his active handicap.

Wording is 'a responsible person acceptable to the Handicap Committee'.

So up to the Club really.

A daft question from me as well.

How can you be playing in a medal if you haven't got your handicap yet?

Presumably it'll count as a card for handicap purposes and he can't actually enter the comp.

That's what I did to get mine -played three Wednesday medals and submitted the cards for h/c. Is that not fairly standard...?

At my club, you can play in a medal as one of your 3 rounds to get a handicap, all 3 if you like.
