6-6d/2 Total Score Recorded by Competitor Incorrect


Q. In stroke play, a competitor returns his score card to the Committee. The hole-by-hole scores are correct, but the competitor records a total score which is one stroke lower than his actual total score. Is the competitor subject to penalty?

A. No. The competitor is responsible only for the correctness of the score recorded for each hole — Rule 6-6d. The Committee is responsible for the addition of scores — Rule 33-5. If the competitor records a wrong total score, the Committee must correct the error, without penalty to the competitor.

Answer 3

If its a match between your friends, then most likely you'll just change it. But the rules state that once you sign your scorecard, you agree that the WHOLE scorecard is correct with absolutely no mistakes. So if its a big championship, you would be disqualified. I hope my answer helped, and i hope my answer wasnt so harsh....... I know..... everyone hates this rule......

Answer 4

I about had a heart attack reading the moronic answers until I saw the last one. Although I understand that this can be confusing, I cannot understand why people would choose to answer unless they absolutely know the right answer. Especially when you can find this exact ruling in the decisions book. Step it up folks.

Answer 5

Rule 6-6d says you are responsible only for the correct score for each hole.

Note 1 says : "The Committee is responsible for the addition of scores and application of the handicap recorded on the score card."

You should not be disqualified.

Edit: Whoever gave me a thumbs down ought to read the Rule Book!

Answer 6

technically you would be disqualified (or liable to be). But in non-championship matches (friendly) the committee would probably never find out anyway ,(after all who cares amopngst friends). but DONT try it in a championship match, if you do you're OUT. The committee have no discretion in the matter, nor the power to change a score card.

Answer 7

wrong, a signed scorecard says you agree that the ENTIRE card is correct. You would be disqualfied

Answer 8
