SCORING:

Rule 6-6 (a & b) of the 2008-09 USGA Rules of Golf provides: "After each hole the marker should check the score with the competitor and record it. On completion of the round the marker must sign the card and hand it to the competitor. If more than one marker records the scores, each must sign for the part for which he is responsible. After completion of the round, the competitor should check his score for each hole and settle any doubtful points with the Committee. He must ensure that the marker has signed the card, countersign the card himself and return it" to the scorer's table. To avoid the possibility of being disqualified, remain in the scoring area until your card has been checked and the scorer dismisses you.
