Should i Report Him For Cheating?

Question

I am playing in my junior golf champion ship and a member of the same group of the boy that is holding me out of the top three has told me that the score the boy turned in was padded, im five shots off of him and ill be in his group tommorow so i can keep an eye on him, should i report him in the morning or just try to outplay him without letting him cheat this time.

Answer 1

His cheating is his problem--not yours. He must not appreciate life unless he can always win. Keep playing. This too shall pass.

Answer 2

You could mention it in the morning to the tournament committee but don't let it bug you during the round.

Have a good one...

Answer 3

If you're playing in a foursome, and you know the other guys quite well, get them to watch him too, and then check at the end of the day his score card.  If he indeed cheated, he needs to be reported.  Cheating is never good, and cheaters need to be disqualified.

Answer 4

I DONT CARE GOLF SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ITS NOT EVEN A SPORT!!!!!!!!!!!

WWE RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

Answer 5

you have to wittness the alleged offence . point it out prior to teeing off next hole . your friend may have had a problem with this player . it was his duty to protect the field . words of advice for your opponent . cheaters never win . winners never cheat . so few words say it all . good luck . try not to let this interfere , have a friend caddy . good luck

Answer 7

Answer 8

Why are you making fun of golf WWE guy? at least our sport isn't FAKE!

As for the cheat I say talk to him yourself and say that "I know you cheated and if you win you didn't deserve it".

SMASH THAT CHEAT!

Answer 9

Unless you witness the " cheating " yourself and bring it up before the score  is signed and posted you have little or no case and will be the one who gets the bad rap. So before going out tell him you will be watching carefully that the score he posts will be correct. Also say you will call him on any rules infractions. Then outplay him. Remember, play the course and not the opponent.

Answer 10

WWE isn't a sport either.  Watch him tomorrow and call him out, he will feel like an idiot.

Answer 11

If you know on a particular hole that he didn;t have that score, when he tells you what he had, say " I thought you had a 6, not a 5" He will probably then count his scores again and if he denies it again, point out where each of his shots went and if he denies it again, just drop it unitl the end of the round.  I f he admits to it, pretend like it never happened, because if you act like a jerk afterwards, he is more likely to do it again

Answer 12

By reporting him now, you are not going to get anything accomplished, but raise unnecessary drama.  

After the round is over and the players return to the "tent" (proshop or wherever they have setup to review and sign scorecards) then that is when any padding or cheating of scores needs to be addressed.  Anytime after that, and it's useless.  Once the player and the observer (other player in the group) signs the scorecard, then it is official.  If the player reports that his score is not correct, then he will be disqualified for signing an incorrect scorecard.  Technically he can be DQ'd if you report him the day after, but it never is enforced because it's your word and other kids' word against his.

Just play your own game and watch his score tomorrow.  Karma will come back to bite him.  If he tries to cheat, then all you do is call him out on it.  Or you can wait until the end of the round and call him out in front of the officials and hope he gets DQ'd.  

You will run into this problem all the way up to college, so just make sure you handle yourself professionally and don't make things bigger than they are.  Try and handle it in a respectful, mature manner, so people don't think your just a tattle-tell.

Answer 13

I agree with ovationl.... If you can not prove it or the other guy stands off and I'm not sure or anything similar... They wont do anything you will just be wasting your time.... Beat his tail tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
