... Shaking before the round is over brings the sport down. Let's all stick around and add up scores like we actually care and take pride in our effort.[/QUOTE]
I am just curious. In your opinion how does courtesy and good sportsmanship bring the sport down, or are you just being over-dramatic? You don't have to be over competitive to show you take pride.
In every tournament I have played, we all stick around and make sure the scores are added up right. There is a penalty for turning in an incorrect card.
As mentioned by the OP, people often split after the last hole. Guys who had a bad round, or are in need of a beer/joint.
I'm not sure how you think I'm saying courtesy brings down the sport. That is some word mingling there. I'm saying, let's stick around after the round and shake once we've all holed out. I also have said nothing about competitiveness. When I said take pride, it was referring to owning a bad round. Some storm off, and do not care if they receive a penalty for a mis added score.
