Scorers must get player's signatures on the scorecard at the end of teh round, after the hole by hole scores are checked. Once the scorecard is signed, the scorer will deliver it to the scoring desk where toal score will be added and verified. Individual hole scores may not be chnaged after a card is signed. If there is a question, have the player play out the hole with 2 balls, regular and provisional, until you get a ruling. It is also the scorer's duty to ask players to speed up play if they are playing slowly and not keeping up with the group in front.
