SCOREKEEPING AND POSTING SCORES.
- Each group should have two scorekeepers. One records and computes the gross score for all players on the master card, the other enters scores into the Golf Genius App. At the end of the round, these 2 scorekeepers must compare all the scores hole-by-hole and total scores to ensure accuracy.
- All players compare their score card hole-by-hole to the master card score keeper and attest by signature that the scores on each hole and the total score on the master card are accurate.
- Each player must keep a personal card (for their score, putts and chip-ins) to compare to the master card. Do not compare just total scores and assume it is correct because math errors can be made.
- All 4 signatures are required on the master card.
- The Tournament Chairs will calculate the game scores AND automatically post your score to your GHIN.
- If you pick up, you are no longer in the day’s game or the Putt Pot, but you remain in the Chip-In pot. Record an “X” for your score on the hole(s) you did not complete.
- One person in the group is designated the putt/chip in recorder for the group. This is a separate scorecard from the game.
- If you are in the putt pot, state your putts when you are stating your score.
o The purpose is so the other players in your group can help you remember if you made a mistake with your # of putts.
o We can unknowingly miscount our putts as well as our score and the group can help us remember. - Why are the Tournament Chairs now posting everyone’s scores on Thursday League Day?
o This is standard and best practice per CGA and USGA
o There are a # of mistakes mostly due to lack of understanding of the handicap system and sometimes math errors.
o This will improve the accuracy of our handicaps and helps with our compliance to the handicap standards as required by CGA, USGA / GHIN.
o Our playing field will be more fair and equitable. - DO NOT post your own score on Ladies Day because that will result in duplicate posting.
