Natalie Gulbis;DQ

It would seem natalie was disquailified after round one of the corona morelia due to not signing her scorecard?? i thought that this had been addressed by the pga recently so this would not happen again???? what are your thoughts please

I think you are thinking about the new decision (6-6d/4)which allows the committee to switch the names on cards when players have recorded their fellow competitor's scores on their own card instead of the FC's card.


Edited to make explanation more accurate. Apologies.

ah right, so they can amend the signature as long as the card itself has been signed, got it...

It means that if the scores and signatures are correct but they have used the wrong cards, the committee may change the name on the card to correspond with the scores recorded.

(See my revised explantion above)

The simple case of the scorer and marker signing in the wrong box is not a problem (dec 6-6b/1)

Rules of game are very clear score card must be signed and counter signed if submitted without player's signature the player is DQ. PGA"s cant bend rules of the game.
