A couple of weeks ago, I enjoyed a lovely round of golf with colleagues at Brocket Hall in Hertfordshire. In the bar afterwards, I checked and submitted my iGolf scorecard and sent it off to one of my playing partners for attestation – something I do every round as a nomadic golfer keen to maintain an accurate handicap.
The round took place on a Thursday, and I received an email shortly after 1am on Saturday informing me the score hadn’t been attested by my colleague. A second email arrived around 1am on Monday letting me know a penalty score had been applied.
