Ask Linda #488-Match with wrong handicap


A curly one here, Linda.  Last Tuesday 2 of our girls played in a handicap match. On Thursday, our ladies' golf day, the winner of the match discovered she had played off the wrong handicap – played off 24, handicap actually 23. What is the ruling please?

Cheers
Lulu

Dear Lulu,

The match stands. Once the result is official, no late claim can be considered unless it is clear that the winner knew she had given wrong information during the match [Rule 2-5; Decision 6-2a/5].
