In regards to the recent Jordan Spieth incident, of which his incorrect scorecard disqualified him from a tournament… I mean, this is 2024. Every shot he takes is being recorded and discussed. Everyone in charge of running that event already knew what his score was, so why does an error like this erase his results? Is any other sport like this in which the players can be disqualified for being bad at math?

One of the big things about golf is that the same set of rules that governs the highest pros governs the lowest amateurs.
So while it is reasonable to expect an official scorer at a PGA Tour event, that’s obviously not possible at local high school matches.
I don’t find it a particularly compelling reason, but that’s what it is.
