does no such thing, which is what everyone is missing. Not one player who has cheated or made an honest mistake has won a tournament, because the scorer checked the player's score against the official correct score for errors.
How does the stroke play scores get on the scoreboard for everyone to see?
from the scorer just like in match play.
When John Cook got assessed a penalty, regardless of the change since, Cookie didn't agree, but he had to go by what the official scorer told him his stroke count is. Again, not what the player would sign for as he didn't believe he hit the ball twice.
The point is, the official stroke count is kept by the scorer, and all the pga has to do is copy down what the official scorer has given them, which is what they check the score card against anyway, and have the PGA player sign the scorer's card which is electronically prepopulated from the scorer, so why the player paperwork when the official scorer has the final say and score?
because you all are arguing from a non bifurcated tradition point of view, and its time to get to the bifurcated sport, and just accept that PGA players play a different game for millions of $ than amateurs, who don't have electronic scorers, and have to rely on honesty. .
Everyone here is just parroting the traditional answers and the current process, without questioning whether performing the current process itself actually achieves the end goal.
The paperwork is totally unnecessary for the PGA tournaments with electronic score keeping and scorers. Even Marr on PGA radio made the same comment . . .
I guess none of you ever did much change management and transformation work from manual to digital, as this process would be one of the first in the corporate world. . .
