So this is handicap manipulation right?

Made far easier with the current system

Not true. Other than technology finally being used (which was coming anyway) the processes are exactly the same: pre-register, play golf, submit score.

Unless of course under the handicap of 4.5 and if the supplementary scores were put on the system the very next which at a lot of clubs didn’t happen

So yes - it is true that it’s easier now

It may well be easier, but in the example posed recently, just how much did the players handicap actually move? His HI probably only went up a couple of decimal places and would this even affect his PH? Probably all a storm in a very small tea cup

Anyone who puts in a scorecard before a comp with the intention of removing a good score to enable a HC increase is manipulating their HC

As it always was. Anyway, you are assuming that there was an intention of removing a good score. People may just be playing and putting in a card as the authorities want .

Not everything has to be a conspiracy

If as the post says they haven’t put in a single score card GP at the home course you can make a fair assumption

sole intention

and presumably knowing he would have a sufficiently poor score when he declared his intent to play a qualifying round.

It's an assumption for sure; but you'd need a lot more evidence to support it being a fair one.

If someone hadn't put in any General Play cards from their home course for a couple of years but lots of competition ones and then, just before a match, when a great score was to drop off their record, put in a GP card, would you regard that as manipulation? It's not against any rules per se, but just feels a little "off". Would you do/say anything about it or is everything good?
NB this was not a match against me, I had nothing to do with it!

As per D_S

The same opportunity was available under UHS. Admittedly by just one shot.

How has the current system made it easier?

I do not know what system you had under the UHS, where I play it was simply walk in to proshop, sign the book and return the card at the end of the round.

How many GP cards could a Cat 1 put in ?

When was the supplementary card put onto your HC record ? Overnight ?

What if the pro shop is shut ?

How can a player return a qualifying card for a match?

That’s not what he is saying though
