Cindy, I usually play for money, so if someone tries to fudge a scorecard, we jump them pretty hard. I have played with some people that have shot a 12 on one hole, and I even lost count of how many swings he took, so i can understand an honest mistake. If I play a practice round, I usually won't keep score. I prefer to play match play when betting because of the fact that people can't change their scores as easily, but it doesn't let you know what you "really" shot that day, either. My uncle taught me the game, and the first thing he told me was to count every strok, every OB and every drop, if not, you don't know how good you actually are. At first it was very hard to write down a 115 and the end of the day, but it made it that much better writing down a 82 last summer. I earned it!
