Signing in on the computer.

At our place we do not sign in. We register on howdidido, draw is done, and we just turn up. Pro gives us a card with all our handicap details on it, and then he signs us in himself.

Works quite well, until it doesn't. For example, the pro was not working one day, and the young guy in his place had no way of printing the handicap details on the cards. So, very few people knew what to put on the card in terms of handicap. In my 3 ball, one guy put his playing handicap in the course handicap box and nothing else. The other guy put no handicap details down and said it was OK, the system will do it for him. I corrected their cards for them, although when I came in it was apparent loads in the field really had no idea what they were supposed to be playing off during the round.

No one was disqualified, probably because the Committee understood the issue. However, if the Committee followed the rules to the letter, I'm pretty sure over 50% of the field would have been disqualified for not having their course handicap on the card (a field of over 100)
