SeveDay - Are They Bandits?

The T Caplehorn is the 13 year old son of PGA coach Kevin Caplehorn, he has dropped fom 13 to 6 during the summer according to his dad's twitter.
 
That's just an utter disgrace. How any competition organiser in their right mind could let those scores stand is an insult to Seve.

And if that is the Son of a PGA pro then that really calls his integrity into question. If my maths is correct, and assuming he was off 13 when he put the score in, he shot a about a gross 6 under par. Yeah, that's possible.:eek:
 
More digging, well its raining and I have nothing better to do. S Varna plays at Sale and posts all her scores, claims 287 handicap but doesnt appear in any results for Sale Ladies competitions.

nett 48!!
 
Can you imagine putting in say 45 points , which the odd day is makeable by some , youd be going home thinking , jeez they will think i cheated or im a bandit , then see the scores ... darn only 17 points off top spot :whistle: .. 17 putts less i had a chance :rolleyes:

Sure if this is let stand it will ruin the comp forever , charity or no charity , very few would want to be associated with that ..

Exactly what I was thinking. The're only damaging themselves by allowing this. As you say who genuinely would want to pay to enter next year if they intended putting an honest score in.
 
I particularly like the stats for the 6th hole, where she dumped it 72 yds off the tee (314 yard hole) and then proceeded to hit GIR and 2 putt for par .... would love to see this round on tv !!
 
it saddens me to see such scores, an individual can play out his/her skin once in a blue moon, but there's loads of them doing it here!

How do they win if you can play and not be a member of a club which I assume means no handicap cert, the ones who won should have their h/cap slashed at their home club surely.

It would be an amazing 230+ drive from the fairway to the green. She is surely going to feature on the tour some day soon with recovery play like that. :)
 
Surely the 11th was the pinnacle of her supreme skill - a drive of 1 yard, followed by 2 putts from 133 yards for a textbook par 3.

they mention society and online h/caps being accepted.

I know one of the guys on that list, improving junior who actually got a 3.2 h/cap cut due to the score he entered the Seve comp with!!

Well as she hit a GIR on this hole the fairway must be only half a yard long from the tee and that leaves a green that is 133yds long. Simple really ;)
 
And acording to equipment used , doesnt carry irons , wedges or even a putter ha ha .. ah i found out what ive been doing wrong at last ...

NOT CHEATING

Crikey she has putting stats for 10 holes on the back 9 aswell

Remember Rhein Gibson, who went round in 55? Well that equals 52 stableford points. And this person is coming in with 62 points? Even Kim Jong-Il would be embarrassed to claim such a score.
 
STATEMENT FROM THE ORGANISERS,....

Dear Seve Day participants,
As you will have no doubt seen the leader board of the top 72 scores for Seve Day have now been announced for the final at The Belfry next month.
Since publishing this list we have had a number of emails from players querying some of the scores at the top of the leader board which appear particularly high, this is something that we have looked into and can confirm that all scores have been officially verified with the playing partners of those individuals as well as their golf clubs where possible.
We are shortly going to be opening discussions with a handful of players about making adjustments to their handicap for the final in light of these scores.
Seve Day is first and foremost a charity initiative, and we are grateful to every one of you who has signed up to take part and helped us to raise close to £35,000 for the Seve Ballesteros Foundation. We are fully aware however that for participants the opportunity to compete at the world famous Brabazon Course at The Belfry for a trip to the 2013 US Masters is a once in a lifetime opportunity, so are taking steps to ensure a level playing field.
We are keen to ensure that the integrity of Seve Day is not compromised, after all this fine sport is one that is built on honesty and sportsmanship. Whilst we have taken every possible measure to ensure a clear and transparent scoring system, it is always going to be impossible to completely guarantee the validity of every score and handicap.
Whilst restricting scorecards to those only submitted in registered club competitions would have provided a greater control over the scoring, this would have also made Seve Day inaccessible for non-club members and those unable to make it for a club competition.
By opening up the competition to scores submitted from any round, we were able to make Seve Day accessible to more golfers and raise many more thousands of pounds for the Seve Ballesteros Foundation.
For those of you who have reached the final we would like to extend our congratulations to you and wish you the very best of luck for the big day, and those that missed out we thank you once again for your support in carrying on Seve’s legacy.
Yours faithfully,
Your Seve Day Team
