Robert Rock

Disqualified after carding a 6 under in the Irish open for incorrectly signing his card. The score was right but two of the holes scores were the wrong way round.

He must be gutted!!

He has now learned a valuable lesson, he will never do this again.

I agree Wayne, at the end of the day rules apply and Mr Rock has made an expensive mistake!

i'd have let him off with a warning, it's not like he cheated, if it where stableford then maybe it would have changed things but in their game..it's no biggy as long as the score was corect

Capt Mannering had the right saying.

"STUPID BOY".

I can't remember when the Rule changed, if it changed at all.

I seem to recall that a Player is responsible for his correct score for each hole being put in the correct place on his card and not for the total score for the round. BUT if he handed in a Card with a marked higher Total Score than each individual hole score added up to, then that Total counted. If it was lower though, nothing. I also seem to recall that the Marker was not penalised for marking incorrect scores and it was the sole responsibility of The Player to ensure his card was correct.
