Posted my score card but forgot to sign. Wanted to fish it out 5mins later but they wouldn’t allow me. Is that right?

I think you'll find that's right

If that's what your Club designates as 'a card returned', then no, can't have it back.

It was an away club. Lad in the shop got the key to get it out but somebody stopped him. It’s a first for me.

It depends on how the Committee has specified when the card is determined to have been returned.

He posted it into a locked box. That's 'returned' in my book.

When you say posted, do you mean keyed into a screen/App, or posted in the box.
As you said it was an away course, was it an Open? I'd expect you'd be dq from the comp, but if the score was keyed into an app, will the score stand for handicap?
On Wales Golf, you can key a score, but not handicap the physical card in. (For general play cards) Not sure if that's right or not!!

That was the rule at my old club. The card box was locked. Once your card was in there, that was it.

Yeah, I always thought that is one of the reasons why the box is locked, if you physically hand it over to an official you are not allowed it back is my take on it.
A pal of mine once handed in a team card and the recorder said 'Oh look you have not signed it' he wanted it back, they would not give it and what would have been a winning score was dq'd.

If an official is involved in officially as the 'receiver' they should check the card with the player and advise re any deficiencies. Otherwise, what's the point?

Well, that is what happened, maybe their job was to just receive the cards not to check them, surely that is down to the players.

On a few instances I have been asked to open our box to retrieve potentially unsigned cards. I have always obliged, even though our Players Charter states that the card is returned once it is posted into the box. Why wouldn't you? Its supposed to be what we do for fun, this game!!

Ultimately it is. But why have an official there if they aren't doing anything really useful. A box could do the collection job equally well. Part of a referee's function is to try to ensure that players don't unwittingly breach a rule. Why shouldn't this apply to anyone representing the committee?

An open, put on their computer then physical card posted, had my cut and collected two’s prize so all is fine. Nett 72 wouldn’t be a winning score so I’m not aggrieved just to be fair perplexed!

When I have acted as the 'Card receiver' in opens and similar I have acted as Rule fan suggests often reminding players to check it is signed but once the person walks away I consider it to have been handed in and would not return it for correction afterwards.

The trouble is if you are too lenient with the rules others get to hear about and complain because it may have cost them a prize.

i wouldn’t want it if they were DQ’d on a technicality like accidentally not signing a scorecard
