Pencil whipping.
Pencil whipping.
Forgive my ignorance, but I've never heard the term "Pencil Whipping." Is it the same as "stroke shaving," as in recording her score incorrectly to her own benefit?
What a great job of instilling ethics...Dad of the year nominee....early on it was her dad doing the cheating for her.
That article was bizarre. Apparently someone was mad about her getting a feature in that local rag and complained enough to get that written up.
As for pencil whipping I am curious about the circumstances. There are times where players legitimately make mistakes and remembered a hole. If you have multiple lost discs or a backup or a weird penalty situation; you should be able to count your strokes but I understand it can happen. Or was it straight up cheating?
I don't know all of the details, I do know multiple people that have played with her, and she was caught straight up cheating many times, and early on it was her dad doing the cheating for her. Not nearly all of the instances were reported to the TD/PDGA and were dealt with on the card, and we can only guess that she got away with it on other occasions. Things from writing down a different score for herself than what she says out loud, to saying a different score than she actually shot "Oops, I forgot"
What?!? Unbelievable. If your dad is not only encouraging you to cheat but facilitating it I really can't blame the child, this goes 100% on the parent. I am ok with a light penalty for her and a lifetime ban for dad.
I partially agree with you....
I mean, this is a person who is old enough to operate a metal death machine on wheels. She should have some sort of ability to think and make her own decisions.

The specific instance I refer to was April of 2014 - so she was 13 at the time with her dad caddying for her
I can absolutely blame the 16-year-old '100%' and believe the penalty to be insultingly light.
