Quick side note: Handicap systems vary by country...

Given that you were playing on your own, I don't think the rules come into into, given that you aren't playing in a comp and can't submit a card that you've marked yourself, anyway...

The OP's sig shows he's in the U.S. Here (and I believe in any USGA-sanctioned handicap system) non-attested scores can be submitted.

...Not turning in a scorecard just because it wasn't attested is a potential sandbagging issue.

As you may know, under some handicap systems (I believe Great Britain's is an example) you can only submit a score that was attested. I suspect Shorty lives in an region that uses such a handicap sysytem and was assuming that was the case for the OP.

I actually didn't know that - sounds goofy to me. Two people can lie as well as one.

Which I believe is part of the reason why that requirement was dropped by the USGA a few years back. When I first started carrying a handicap it was still required, but as anyone could scribble a signature on the card whether they had played with you or not, it didn't hold much water. Now they leave it up to the respective handicap committees to police the golfers under their control.

rules aside, If i were on the green and the person playing through hit it in the drink and then strolled to the drop zone to play his third..I would probably be much more annoyed than if he were to just hit another from the tee box. Good job.

+1

On a side note, why does it seem like everytime I get waived through I hit a terrible shot? Never fails...smh

Maybe he thought you were going to not count the stroke? I'd say what you did was ok.

And yeah eaglecc, that happens every time to me too! I look like the world's worst golfer when I play through.

I think he just thought you didnt know the rule and was telling you of it. I would have played the same way.

That was pretty much my thought also.

I think the fellow in question was just letting you know that you should have used the drop zone, which is there for a reason.

Why should he have used it? He was within the rules to hit another from the tee and had a valid reason to do so -- to avoid delaying the following group.

Glad to see I did right both rules wise and common since wise.
Now that I think back, it is possible he was only telling me I could have gone to the drop spot and I just took it wrong since I was steamed about just dumping a ball in the water.

      3 Wood Shafts

      By rod7515 · Posted

      Im struggling to hit a 3 wood any distance. Im 67 now and used to use a 3 wood all the time. My swing speed with the 3 woods is between 80-84. I am only 5'5" tall. I currently have 4- 3 woods in my used club selection. I have an old Titliest 910FD, a Taylormade Sim2, a PXG gen 4 and a Ping G430. None of these can i hit more than 180 yards and often much shorter. My driver which is a Ping G430 I hit about 210-225. Heres the crazy thing, I carry a Taylormade Sim2- 7 wood that I hit 175-185. I carry an older titliest H1 Hybrid 23* that i hit 165-175. All yardages are with carry. When i hit both the Hybrid and the 7 wood they feel like very solid strikes yet I never feel like i hit any of these 3 woods solid. All of these clubs have regular shafts of different manufacturers. I would like to be able to hit a 3 wood 200 yards. Im thinking I need to start playing with shafts, Maybe even shorten them some. I have equipment to pull shafts and set swingweights and reglue. I have a bunch of reg flex old driver shafts that i could shorten. My driver, 7 wood and Hybrid are all D3 Swingweight. The 3 woods are D3 as well.  Where would you start? Thanks Rod

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By rod7515 · Posted

      This was a great read from start to finish. Ive been watching the LAB putters for 3 or 4 years now. Ive never been a good putter and Ive worked at putting but i just dont seem to get better at it. I play at least 3 times a week with a 11.6 Hdcp and i have owned probably 20+ putters over my last 10 years. Ive even tried the broomstick putters which at first I thought helped but as time went on i missed just as many putts. For me it comes down to nerves which i struggle to control when putting. I always feel like i have someone leaning over me watching my every move when i putt. I had a friend I play with this fall go get fitted for a LAB and he came back all excited, he bought one and he was already a player that probably averages 32 putts a round. So i think I would say hes a good putter. I used his putter a few times and the feeling i get compared to my putter which right now is a Ping Vault 2.0 Piper and just before that an Evnroll ER5v and before that Spyder Ghost........anyway the feeling I notice was that i can take the putter back without it twisting some. At least thats the feeling i get. I dont know if i would be a better putter with a LAB putter but after this year i will know as I went and was fitted and have one on the way. I can only hope it makes a differnce. If not ive got plenty of putters to fall back on!  Rod
