On our scorecards, as I imagine on most, there is a box for "Handicap" and a box for "Strokes Received" so I write 7.4 in the "Handicap" one and 7 in the "Strokes Received" one. I know a lot of people write their playing handicap in both but the other day one of my FCs wrote his exact h'cap (26.4) in the "Handicap" box and 8 in the "Strokes Received" box. When I questioned him he said it was because that was how many holes he got 2 shots on (odd?)
He corrected it when I pointed it out but it did get me thinking, if I hadn't noticed it and he had put his card in would he have been scored off of 8 as it says in "Strokes Received" or was it enough that he put his proper exact handicap in the "Handicap" box?
