Oh I agree that of you're playing in home matches then you should follow Along with the rules. You don't want to screw up that system. I'm with Dam, if you make a 10 on a par 4 it's not a 7. Now I know you top 5 and bottom five score are thrown out when you reach 20 scores but does this system skew that a bit.
Right- so they probably do use ESC then. I am assuming obviously. I guess I don't understand why the USGA supports this if we shouldn't do it. I am questioning both sides now. I can see using it, but I can see against using it also. Great thread.
