After a round, the player verifies and signs his scorecard. What happens to it after that? Framing Spieth's four cards from the masters would make an incredible item for a charity auction... Or, of course, for Spieth himself.

Interesting question. I assume that they are retained by the tournament committee. After all, they are the official documentation of the individual player's score.

In David's bag....

I think mine are shredded up and used in hamster cages.

Thanks for the links!

Quote:
Scoring officials at TOUR co-sponsored events keep the scorecards until the end of the tournament. Those scorecards are then shipped to TOUR headquarters in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., and stored for safekeeping for an undetermined length of time. The TOUR started taking those security measures in the early 2000s.

Not the most interesting answer possible, but it makes sense.

We have few framed cards from Challenge Tour on our club house wall, one from Peter Uihlein for example. So perhaps on ET (or CT) they are not that security minded.

Still don't really understand why they have to even fill out a scorecard.  The entire world knows their score.  Save a tree and go paperless.  ;)

To always give them the opportunity to sign the wrong score and get disqualified? What an outdated concept.

Mine spontaneously combust after the round completes.

Agree it's an outdated practice but each score card starts out with the potential to make history and be of value.  My guess is tournament winners and low round scorecards are kept for historical records and Hall of Fame display while the rest get scanned and recycled.

I keep all my scorecards that I get par or better.  I don't think CBS would keep my score for me.  ;)


I do the same. Unfortunately between my fingers and toes, I can count how many scorecards I have kept.
