The situation.
A few days prior to playing in the most recent club competition I received an email from the handicap committee that instructed players to submit their scores online to the howdidido system (a usual method at my club during covid). However, when registering to play on the day I was told by the pro shop to place my card in the designated scorecard box instead (has happened in the past with specific events).
The issue.
I shot a level par round of 70, signed for the correct score and placed the score card in the correct box. The next day I see that I was DQ'ed and the score posted to my recent scores was 106 (double bogey on every hole).
When I enquired about this I was told that as my card was not entered online, I was given an NR on every hole and then DQ'ed.
I have never had any issues like this before so I have no idea if this within the rules? Do the handicap committe have the power to do this?
