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....

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.

That''s it man, security.  Could you imagine if 17 Honus Wagner baseball cards  suddenly appeared on eBay?

Security measures?? Would love to hear someone try and explain that.

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 What an outdated concept.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Agree it's an outdated practice but each score card starts out with the potential to make history and be of value.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.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
