WHS Venues Away From Home Club

In the US there is no requirement to inform anyone prior to playing a round that you will submit it. You just submit your score after the round. The idea of pre-registering your intent to submit is purely a GB&I thing, presumably thought up by the home unions.

It is speculation, but not a big stretch to question who nomads will register with that they are playing a round that they will submit for score.

My "gripe" if you can call it that, as it doesn't keep me awake at night or anything, is that we are halfway in between our old system and the procedures of US implementation of the WHS - I know technically it's the same system but it is definitely administered differently (no pre-registraion as stated above). IMHO it's better to either just have a free for all like in the US where there is no mandate for announcing up front, just submitting scores every round, even incomplete ones, or stick to the old system where only comp scores count, as there is already a standard registration system in place by means of entering.

I'm open to be corrected on the need to register intent prior to the round in the US, but as far as I can see it's not in the USGA rules. USGA Handicapping Rules
