UNOFFICIAL SCORERS (BOYS 10-13 TOUR & GIRLS 12-18 TOUR - 9 HOLES)

As we did in 2013, we will be implementing an un-official scorer system for the Boys 10-13 Tour and Girls 12-18 Tour (9 Holes) divisions for the 2014 season. Our hope is that by having multiple spectators keeping an “un-official” score for the group, it will help in ensuring the scores will be correct in the end. The following guidelines will be used by our staff when starting groups within these two divisions:

  1. As the group makes their way to the starting tee, make an announcement to the spectators following the group and ask for two (2) volunteers that will keep the un-official score for the group.

  2. Have a stack of course scorecards available to hand out to the volunteer scorers.

  3. If you get more than two (2) spectators to volunteer, you are welcome to hand out as many as you feel comfortable with, but be sure to have at least two (2).

  4. Give the following instructions to those willing to help out:

                      a.      We ask that you use this course scorecard to keep an “un-official” score for all the players.

    b.      Please confer with the other designated scorer(s) at the end of each hole to compare scores for the group.

    c.       If any discrepancies arise, ask the players for help.

    d.      At the end of the round, compare the nine-hole totals for each player and submit the scorecard to the staff member in the scoring area.

    e.      From there, the staff will take over and bring you in if any issues arise within the group.

  5. When you receive the un-official scorecards, compare to be sure there is a consensus.

  6. While players are checking their scorecards, use the un-official scorecards to compare each player’s official card to check for consistency.

  7. Before the players place their card in the scorecard return box, be sure it matches up to un-official scorecards.

Our hope is that by having an additional two sets of eyes completely focused on the players competing that day, it will help with any discrepancies that may arise with the scoring process. We feel many scoring mistakes carelessly occur within these age groups and we want to do everything we can to make sure the event is played fairly.
