Team marks own scorecard

[Colin L]

In any stroke play format where you have a single side of 2, 3 or 4 players going out on its own, you just have to accept that there is no external verification of its score and trust the players.

Jeez 5th with 106pts must be some very good golfers where you play.

A day of great stableford scores doesn't necessarily mean 'very good golfers' - nor, necessarily, 'bandits'! Just a day of great scoring! Not all that uncommon if conditions are suitable.

That’s almost an average of 3pts per player on every hole.
I found this on the course we played just not possible but they marked their own card ( see other thread) second was 88pts.

Yep 109 won . Helped there was a 48 and 54 handicap on it tho

Played one recently best 2 from 4= 107 pts we just laughed.

Why?
2 best on each hole is 2 net birdies, which is quite reasonable from 4 pkayers
That would get you 108
Get some high handicappers and you can see net eagles

As I said in my post on that course on that day 88pts was second???
Conditions were not suitable in mine and almost everybody else’s opinion.
19pts ahead of second.

I thought he quoted the whole of the post?

Yes sorry thought it was part of post 19.
He asked why.

The greens had been cored and sanded two weeks previous and with the good weather they were like concrete.
The pins were right behind the bunkers , it was set up as hard as it could be. You get the drift.
We had two scratch players with us and they couldn’t get anywhere near them.
It’s only my opinion and the opinion of the rest of the field by the reaction of the winning score,but that score on that course wasn’t on.
19 pts ahead of the rest of the field.

Yes, we can do the math. And your point is that you don't believe their results and are calling them bandits? Players are expected to play with integrity.

That’s right, they are!

Anyone who thinks people don’t manipulate their handicaps to win things has their head in the sand,
But it’s usually not so blatant.

In a handicapping context, any time there's talk of so and so being a bandit, just say, "OK, give me the evidence and it can be acted on."

We all know it’s virtually impossible to prove.
As I said it’s only my opinion based on 30yrs experience, that score was not there on the day for anyone I don’t care what their hcaps were.

I find these days all we get is that the computer takes care of handicaps.

I think the better the prizes, the higher the eyebrows raise during prize giving!
