Attesting

New Member Establishment

Even if you're established at another club, you'll need to become LOLGC established. Why? Each course has different rules and we want to ensure everyone's on an even playing field.

What It Means:
An established LOLGC member will mentor you on pace of play, golf etiquette, and our specific course rules.

How to Get Established:
Play five rounds with any established member who will attest your scorecard. Here's what's different during establishment:

• Count every stroke (unlike regular play where you max out at 9 per hole)

• Can happen anytime during the season (except scrambles)

• Must be on club play days (Wednesday or Thursday)

• Play with different established members—you don't need the same scorer each time

After Each Round:

Submit your scorecard to the LOPGC reception desk (we have an envelope onsite to keep them). When you log your round in LOLGC Scores and Stats, check "yes" for establishment rounds so we can track your progress.

Scorecards

Here is an example of a correctly filled out and attested scorecard with a TWO-STROKE PENALTY.​​

In this example, Ann Doe writes her name in the top spot of the card and hands the card to Betty Smith. Betty writes her name in the bottom part. She keeps Ann's scores along with her own score.

After golf is over and the totals are entered, Betty has Ann check to see that they both had the same scoring for Ann. If it is correct, then Ann signs the “Attest” line to say that she agrees with the score. Betty signs as the scorer.
