Theoretical - competition entry with non member

[Deleted member 18121]

Hi all

Since I moved house I dont get to play much with my old PP, but this coming weekend we've arranged a game at my place. The 1st round of our clubs open competition is also held on that day.

In theory, do you think I could play with him and maybe 1-2 others guys and have them mark my card as an entry for the comp? (Going out after the official comp tee times)

For what its worth I have little or no chance of playing to my handicap!

Cheers all

Adam

It's completely down to the club in question.

Some will allow it, some wont. You have to ask them.

At our place, for example, anyone can mark a card, member or not.

Our only requirement is that your marker has a handicap.

I agree with Jezster - the only relevant answer is from the club in question in respect of this specific instance.

As an example, it's an open comp, probably with a prize table and certainly with players from other courses - surely you would be operating some element of control over when entries play, and cards are returned, in order to sort out prizes in a timely manner? Ie it's not just about whose marking the card.

Given that most opens around me operate on a draw basis I don't think it would be allowed to go out with pals.

The opens I have played allowed you to ask to be grouped with fellow club members, but they all wanted a CDH number or stificate to prove your handicap from your club.

As an ex-comp organizer, I would say no, but then it's not my comp.

Just as an update - I was NOT allowed to play as part of then comp, the ruling was that another member of the comp would need to play with me.

I put a supplementary in anyway......and went up 0.1 , 1 shot outside buffer.

You shouldn't have had to ask. It should be in the Terms of Competition.
