OT--Verifying Raters
« on: October 27, 2023, 02:20:44 PM »
I don't know why I am curious because I never will be a rater, but how do courses verify that someone who claims to be a rater is a rater and that he or she is the name they claim to be? I guess that is a two part question.


Thanks.

Ira,


Raters (at least GD/GW) receive a card each year verifying that they are on the panel. Commonly, when requesting to see a course as a rater the professional will ask for copy of said card.

Well, that is simple enough. Is there a photo?


Thanks.

I was a GD for 25 years and during that time I can count on one hand the times I was asked to produce my GD ID raters card.
Strange, I can't remember if my ID card had my photo or not!

Golfweek has a 8”x11” bag tag that says RATER in flashing lights. You can’t miss it.
