Major Violation?

[gcanter2376]

Played in a 2 round tournament today. Upon starting the second one of the players on the card was nowhere to be found. This was top card in my division. We waited as long as possible but he didnt show. We tee'd off and finished the first hole and asked the TD what to do. He said to give him 3 strokes over par on each hole until he shows up. Everything was par 3 so he kept getting 6"s. 4 holes in we he runs up and we tell him sorry but we had to give him a six on each hole. He says "I'll see you guys later" and walks off. 2 holes later he catches us and says the TD said he could make up the holes he missed after we finished. He shot very well and finished 2nd overall. No big deal to me as I finished 1st but the more I think about it the more wrong I think it was. The 4 holes he took 6"s on he got deuces on them. Can the TD make a call like that?

you can't make up holes the guy should have gotten 6's! i would def not allow it... basically he needs to add those 16 strokes for holding you up!

if pdga then you can complain and get the TD in trouble but i would call him up and let me know it doesn't sound right.

I thought it was very shady. He said he told the TD he drove 5 hours to get there blah, blah, blah and TD said he could rethrow them. This knocked someone out of cashing out most likely as the 4 holes he had 6's on he birdied when he replayed them. not fair to people below him if you ask me.

Actually, it's par + four strokes.

Thats what I thought to. TD said par +3 lol.

That's BS, and I'd call out the TD on it...especially if I was the guy who got bumped out of a paying spot!

If that happened here, I would be livid. Especially if it affected my outcome. There is no way he should have been allowed to re-throw those holes.

If it's a non-sanctioned event, technically the TD can do whatever the heck he feels like. For a sanctioned event, though, no.. the player *should* be given a 7 (par + 4) on each hole they missed playing.

It was a sanctioned event. And I know there is a rule bout strokes for each hole that is missed. I actually thought it was straights 7's but par+4 sounds right. BTW it did not affect my outcome but he did finish second but wouldnt have eve cashed out if those strokes are added back in.

So he got to replay those holes solo? Thats extremely shady.
