Wait... if this was a par 4... did you put your tee shot into a hazard?

And you dropped legally I assume?

Either way, he should have been able to tell you where his discrepancy came from instead of mumbling and walking away like an 8 year old...

Yeah, always take legal drops, 2 club lengths, no closer to the hole.

Ahhh... got it. Anyway... I agree with others, have him count it back. If he relents... it's on him and you have nothing to worry about. I had a similar issue in a tournament round last week. One of the guys we were playing with said he posted a 6 but it was a 9. We recounted every stroke... and the other 3 of us in the group were all in agreement as to his score. He got upset by us calling him on it but... it is what it is. You did nothing wrong and you were able to account for every stroke. CY

I'm glad I don't play with people like that.

My buddy the other day actually said: "Mark me down a 6 on that one...", I said "Nope, you got a 5...we went over it, I was right, and he thanked me for paying attention. Haha.

That's when you say, "I presume you didn't pass high school match because you can't count worth shit"

I'm not so sure I'd say that.

I assume the other guy is correct when he has me for more strokes. And, as said many times on this thread, I ask him to go through it. Maybe he's right. Maybe it is a disagreement about the penalty rules...

There have been one or two times in my life when I have completely forgotten about an OB tee ball because it was so long ago. I'm often the longest in my group (not a brag because I play with very old guys). So, I have hit one out, and then one of more of them is hunting for their balls, so it can be forever between my turns. I want the others to remind me of my correct score. More likely than not, I recall that OB shot that my fellow playing opponents and partners forgot. "Nice par." "It was nice except for that indiscretion off the tee makes it a double."

I was doing algebra and trig in high school.

It more like preschool math.

I probably would have did what you did, and when he said his "whatever" line I'd of said something like "well hold on, I want to be sure that I have this right, how did you come up with 7?"

People make mistakes.  You come away looking better when you respond politely, and you're less likely to obsess over it in your head for the next few holes.  Plus, its always possible that you made a mistake somewhere.  No need for the smart *ss one-liners.

I was trying to be nice, you know give him the benefit of the doubt. But yes, technically you might want to ask him how he even passed 1st grade :p

This is the best option, IMO.  It's the same as most everybody has already said, however, it comes across as the most polite and cordial.

The high road is always the better route. ;)

Now that it's behind me and I can look at it a little more objectively I wonder if the reason he wouldn't say how he came up with the score he had is that he realized he was wrong when I counted out my shots for him. If he had just said "sorry, you are right" instead of acting like he was just not going to bother proving I was wrong it would have made a world of difference. I've no problems admitting I miss counted when/if I do because I want to card the correct score regardless if it is good or not.

Some people have to much pride to be wrong at anything

Yeah, the thing that sucks is that the fact that I recovered so quickly and well on that hole had me feeling good and I may have started playing better had I not had this encounter at the conclusion of the hole. I realize if I am really going to get better at golf overall I'm going to need to learn not to let this type of thing affect me. Live and learn I suppose.

    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting. 
    • Day 96 (18 Mar 24) - Continued work with the Divot Board with the GW and hard foam balls.  Focused on small target/small miss…setup to hit target about 30yds out - success if it hit within 6’ circle of target, fail if outside.  Had decent success averaging about 3 out of 4 (hitting in groups of four).  
    • Wordle 1,003 3/6 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩   felt a little like Wyndham when the first three green and I began the fist pump…
    • I'm relieved someone finally defined hiking. I was giddy when I saw these new TPI videos a day or so after they dropped. Very easy to understand the problem and solution the way they have presented it. Been working on fixing this for about a year and a half now. It's nice to be able to call it something so communication becomes easy.  I was working on more lateral and up too, but just having someone define it clearly in video form was so helpful for me to continue confidently with what I thought was wrong and how I had to fix it.  My conceptual error here was just trying to rotate like a tour pro but without including the necessary forward pressure/weight shift associated with enough lateral and upward motion of the pelvis.  This video is great too, as is Greg Rose.
    • Day 2.    couple mins of rolling putts end over end.    10 mins of Slow, mirror work, working on starting the downswing and impact wrist positions. Hit a couple balls into the net after.    Then finished with a couple chips to see if I could repeat what I worked on yesterday.
