Get a Ruling • Re: Wrong handicap
The DQ is correct in my reckoning. You had a handicap recorded on your scorecard that was greater than your actual handicap and which made a difference to the number of strokes you received - in breach of Rule 6-2b. In a four ball the side is disqualified if one partner breaches 6-2b (Rule 31-7a).1864 wrote:My partner and I recently played an open betterball stableford competition and had the best score on the day .
I play off 8 and my partner 14 but for some reason I have entered the handicaps the wrong way around .
We did however tell our markers our correct handicaps and the cards were marked and signed correctly . The card was then submitted but with the wrong handicaps alongside our names .
We were almost immediately informed we were disqualified which I thought was fair enough .
Ever since a few people have doubted this ruling , therefore on doing some digging rule 6-2b would seem to suggest the handicaps are only required somewhere on the card and therefore we should not have been disqualified .
What are your thoughts please
