This is the one rule in golf that I would break every time. I don't play a lot of solo rounds, but if and when I do, it will get posted.

Dean this isn't directed specifically at you, but for those that are going to follow the rule and not post, will you make your solo rounds practice based, playing multiple balls or shots, assuming you aren't holding up play?I will follow it. I don't like it, but I will follow it.
When that happens you get a letter from the USGA basically saying you suck and you need to show us tournament scores before you play another US Am qualifier or another us open qualifier.I am trying to understand the reasoning or need for this new rule...IMO perhaps with so many trying to post a low hcp's to qualify to enter Tourneys, would this may keep the entries undoubtedly fair?

That makes sense then.
I understand the intent of the rule, it's just an impotent rule. There is no value to it, as has been stated before its just as easy to sandbag with other people around. Cheaters gonna cheat. Can't stop them.

If people lie on their posted scores, they'll find a way to lie when saying they played an attested score (i.e., using a Type 3 club to post scores).I am trying to understand the reasoning or need for this new rule...IMO perhaps with so many trying to post a low hcp's to qualify to enter Tourneys, would this may keep the entries undoubtedly fair?
I mean if one is a golfer who goes out and swears up and down that they play by the rules 100% of the time, then why would one say that they will not follow this rule? Really it just makes me want to play with other golfers more often. Instead of going out as a single, perhaps try and pair up with someone.
I know you weren't directing straight at me, but I don't play the game of golf for my handicap. So not being able to input scores, it's just not a huge deal to me. I play solo during the week most of the time, but it's rare that I do that on the weekend. The multiple balls part, I love doing that. I enjoy going out on the course at night and practicing different bunker shots or putts. I get out late and I use that time to practice.
Logic doesn't belong in this thread.If u post rounds regardless then is your handicap still "official"? If the answer is no then why pay for one when their are free unofficial options?
when people's score starts going in an undesired direction, they don't have to pull the old, "I'll drop an extra ball on 17 so the round won't count" routine.
If we as a public are not critical of governing bodies, then things never get changed. Somebody was critical of people submitting solo rounds, and things changed for better or worse. We have to be vocal and critical otherwise nobody will want to improve.
Gentleman, I will attest every one of your rounds as we are "partners"
If there are clubs without real estate, I'm sure we can all be partners without proximity.
I usually play as a single, but not solo, when I'm somewhere besides my club. If I play solo after work somewhere, I will try to remember not to post it, but I won't get up in arms if I forget and post it on my phone as I'm walking to my car.

That's not how Type 3 clubs work.If there are clubs without real estate, I'm sure we can all be partners without proximity.
