A point to make on scorecards which the majority of members manage to do right. Members (21) who played out latest comp. at Shrewsbury would have seen Archie G. don the Green Jacket. Unfortunately this victory had to be taken away from him. Can I remind everyone that when we all come off the 18th green and 1st thoughts is normally a beer or two at the 19th there is still a responsibility to check your scorecard especially when you have played well and in with a shout. Having signed your card you are declaring your result. The scorecard you are given on the day is your responsibility until you pass it to the player you have marked with your signature on, then its up to the player to check his card and agree/disagree with his score and then sign it. No one should be marking two cards. Very often cards don’t get signed and calculations are questionable but can be overlooked when they don’t affect the top ten finishers. On the day errors will be adjusted and members spoken to if they are obvious and it affects the result. For several reasons on this occasion the Stapleford winning score got overlooked.
