Foursomes Match Play
Team 1 have stated handicaps where one player stated a handicap a shot higher than he should have been getting by accident.
Team 2 have played off their correct handicaps.
Team 2 thought it wasn't right, but didn't verify it and agreed to tee off and completed the match.
Team 1 won the match and written the match result on our score sheet.
Team 2 have later re-checked the handicaps and found the match was played off wrong handicaps.
They've therefore pointed out Rule 3.2c which states the player should be DQ'd.
However, 5.a(7) states the Match is Final once posted.
Rule 20 also states the player can only request a ruling if both a) They did not know about the wrong handicap - which the player has admitted he *thought* it was right. and b) the opponent did not know they had given the wrong handicap.
We believe the match has been finalised and should stand, but understand their point about the wrong handicaps.
Has anyone encountered this and what was the outcome?
