Single mistake can end your tournament

Signing your scorecard after you've finished your round is more than just a formality; it directly impacts the outcome of a round.

A small error in confirming your score can lead to serious consequences, including disqualification from the tournament. In stroke play tournaments, a player's score is recorded by a marker after each hole. After completing the round, the marker must verify the score by signing, initialing, or marking the scorecard. However, the responsibility of totalling the score and performing other calculations lies with the tournament committee, not the marker.
