WNL – Scorecard Rant

I’m working on getting scores in the system for Week 8, but first…

Guys.  Scorecards are slipping.  I have some sloppy cards, and a card with a double whammy this week: no team numbers and no last names.  Sweet!  Steve, Gary, Dan, Jim – not even the guy keeping score can put his last name?  You all signed the card and…nobody noticed?  Let’s introduce ourselves on the first tee, eh boys?  A little handshake, a little “I’m sorry, what was your last name?” if needed?  After the round, if you don’t know your team number by now (?!?!), please grab someone on your team, grab your captain, grab me, and ask!  I enter in 32 scorecards a week, hole by hole, and there are 4 guys on each scorecard…I need your help to make this as smooth and accurate as possible.  This takes a long time when things are perfect.  I can research missing info, but c’mon – I shouldn’t need to.

If you look at the card after the round (like you should) and you don’t see your last name, your team number, or you have a missing or incorrect handicap please – make the change in a legible fashion. It could be voided and you all get 0.  You are all responsible for the scorecard, not just the scorekeeper.

Rant over, but below is the League Guide section on Scorecards.  I’m not voiding any this week (including the above super-sucky card as it is known) but I could have voided at least one card each week, and I am getting close to being a harda$$ about it, boys.  You’re breaking me.  To the 98% keeping great cards, keep it up – it’s very much appreciated.

  • SCORECARDS

The League will provide Official League Scorecards and are to be picked up from the Starters.  All matches and Team points are based on accurate and readable scorecards.
The following rules apply to all players:

  • Only the Official Card will be accepted each week. This scorecard will allow for the Match, Match Total, and the Weekly Game
  • It is the policy of the club that at least one golfer from each team must sign the scorecard.
    Submitted cards not attested to by group can be considered void (at the discretion of the WNL Director).
  • All Players full names must be clearly printed (both first and LAST names).
    • Inability to determine who the players are may cause the card to be voided.
  • The Players Team # and Handicap must be clearly identified on the card.
  • Scorecards must be turned in each Wednesday before going home. Scorecards not turned in by the time the WNL Director goes home will be voided and not considered for any point totals.  The WNL Director will ensure there is a prominent drop location each week.
  • UNREADABLE CARDS WILL BE VOIDED BY THE WNL DIRECTOR. The decision to void ineligible score cards is at the discretion of the WNL Director. Please ensure your card is legible.
