THE RESPONSIBILITY TO RETURN SCORES FROM COMPETITIONS

[KenL]

Absolutely. Every Saturday the club organises a 'sign up on the day as you turn up' stableford that is a qualifying round - and this will now be a WHS 'one for the pot' round (I don't even think of it as a 'counting' round as most of the time it wont be). I could choose to enter the club's qualifying stableford comp as well as play in the rollup. As a result I had to hole every putt even although in the context of the rollup I might be given some.

And so in effect what has happened now that our rollup individual stableford comp is to be a WHS 'one for the pot' round is just what happened previously if I had entered the club stableford qualifier. I claim rights over FTP/OFTP - as in an WHS FTP (For the Pot) round

I wish my club was so accommodating for people who like competitive golf.

As it happens most of us didn't enter the club qualifier - as it was a qualifier with all that that entailed under the old system. If one or two of us in a four fancied entering then often we all (or most) would - just to avoid confusion and keep things 'level playing field' in our informal 4BBB match. Things are actually going to be a bit more straightforward in that respect under WHS with our individual rollup round being FTP

Not disputing any of the above but individuals or organizers would have to pre register before hand and ensure all cards/scores are returned.

Looking for something else I found this

The Handicap Committee may consider a player to have pre-registered their
intent to submit an acceptable score for handicap purposes when playing an
authorized format of play in a regular, organized event with other players.

Doh!
I had told our seniors' committee about it and even sent a memo out but for the life of me I couldn't find the reference.

Many thanks
