IMPORTANT: FILLING SCORECARDS
11/12/2019
Based on feedback from a number of golf clubs recently, we would like to remind you all that it is solely your responsibility to fill out scorecards in a complete, accurate and consistent manner.
\r\n\r\nIt is not the job of the golf club staff to add totals and calculate Stableford points on your behalf.
\r\n\r\nScoring procedure
\r\n\r\n- \r\n
- When you receive your scorecard, check that the names and handicaps printed on the cards are correct. \r\n
- Handicaps have been adjusted according to the event format in advance. If there is a clear error, raise it with a committee member before you submit the card. \r\n
- Always swap your cards with your opponents in the other cart before starting the round. Do not mark your own. Check your opponents� names and handicaps before the round starts. \r\n
- Mark the holes where each player gets an extra shot or more based on the hole index and their handicap, if the scorecard does not already show these. \r\n
- Check the event format and local rules printed on the scorecard�s accompanying sheet before you start playing. \r\n
- After each hole you should write the gross shots, net shots and Stableford points for all 4 players. This prevents mistakes and shows the calculation steps taken. \r\n
- Ensure that your handwriting is clear, so that the club staff & EGS Committee can review cards easily after you submit them. \r\n
- Keep your own score, along with your playing partner�s score on your opponents card, so you can check your opponents have marked your cards correctly later. \r\n
- Total the gross shots and Stableford points for each player after each 9 and after 18. \r\n
- Swap back cards with your opponents after the round, check all scores for all players together, and only sign if all scores match. \r\n
- Scorecard format varies between clubs, so use your judgement to ensure all the data is captured for all 4 players. \r\n
- It always helps if the lowest handicap in the group monitors the filling of scorecards, as well as managing the pace of play for the group. \r\n
