Get a Ruling • Re: Handicap from a wrongly marked card
CONGU regulations list examples where scores are to be accepted for handicap even though a player has been disqualified for various reasons. They include entering a score lower than he actually made, provided it wasn't premeditated. As the opposite where the score entered is lower than actually taken is not a DQ matter, it obviously isn't mentioned and if there is any reference to it elsewhere in the regs, I don't know where.
Since it is the correct score of the disqualified player that is used for handicap adjustment, I would apply the same principle to the player who enters a higher score than taken. What matters is that to be consistent with other players' handicap adjustments, Gary's should be made on his actual score. It could be significant. That 0.1 increase could be the one that moves his playing handicap up a stroke.
Doug, however, is much more experienced this than I and may have a different view.
