Supplementary card from away course and who can mark it?

[howbow88]

I have read through loads of threads on here, but I'm still not overly sure on the answer to this...

I play quite a bit of golf mid-week with friends, away from my home course. Some of these friends are members at my club, some are not.

1) Can I submit a supplementary card from an away course, in the same way I can for my home course?

2) If so, it's my understanding from reading on here that it is basically down to the committee as to who is allowed to mark my card for it to be valid. Is this correct?

1) You can only return a supplementary score from an Affiliated club of which you are member.

2) If you meet the above requirement, I suggest you ask your club what the criterion is for a marker.

That was what I thought - thanks

The WHS doesn't appear to have a restriction on where 'declared and attested' (ie supplementary) rounds are played.

In UK golf parlance, is a "supplementary card" a card submitted after a round that was not part of a greater competition?

That's right, under WHS you will be able to submit general play scores from any course worldwide. You will be able to sign in at the course you are visiting and enter your score on their PSI terminal or via an app on your phone.

That's right. It is a round played individually, not in a competition but it has to be pre-registered, played according to the Rules of Golf on a rated course and attested by a marker. It's means of supplementing your scores if you haven't been able to enter or chosen not to enter enough competitions. This will remain the same in CONGU countries in the WHS other than a change of name to "general play scores".

The USGA (as per the WHS rule) will not require rounds to be pre-registered.

So it's not a World Handicap System then

I think there will be quite a few “local” differences.

So, under WHS in England, a Supplementary Card will require the same process as now, except that you can submit a card from any course, not just one you are a member of? If so, when it comes to pre-registering your intent to play the round, is it done via the terms of your home club, or the club you are playing at? Cheers

interesting one, how would you register an away score at another club you are not a member of pre round??

The technology being developed will allow you to pre-register at any golf club in the world on their PSI, if I am understanding correctly what we were told last week at a WHS workshop.

As my little mind understands it and I may be wrong, they'll be one worldwide WHS database that will be available to log on to at every golf club worldwide. What the SGU is developing is competition and business management software that will interface with the WHS database.

Each national governing body will be managing handicaps and CDH in its jurisdiction. SG will be no more "separate" than any of the others in this respect. Where we do differ is in the development of a
competition and management system as doublebogey says - the Venue Management System (VMS). Clubs will have the option of taking up the VMS (which will come free) or use an independent provider for competition and business management. No independent provider will be licensed to manage handicaps in any of the CONGU countries.

Computer systems, like people, do talk to each other.

The fact that there will be some minor regional or traditional variances was made clear in the initial announcements. They are virtually all limited to actual play but do not affect post play Handicap Index calculations.

what's my - or their - PSI?

 

[Imurg]

what's my - or their - PSI?

The computer terminal that most clubs have. It's how you sign in and enter scores for competitions
If clubs haven't got one, they will have come November
