Caroline Inglis was on the verge of setting a record after winning the Oregon Scholastic Activities Association Class 5a when she was told that there was a mistake on her scorecard. The person she was playing with showed on the scorecard that Inglis had shot a par on the eighteenth hole instead of a bogey. Because the tournament was using USGA rules, Inglis was disqualified. In doing so, her record was not allowed to be recorded. Not only was this her highest score, but the score that could have been recorded as a record if only she had payed attention to her scorecard.
Let this teach you a lesson. Allways check over your scorecard and make sure it is correct. Otherwise this same thing could happen to you when you were getting ready to set a record, or even win.
yikes :/ how depressing would that be?!?! A good warning, though.
