How the heck am I to verify a score (9 holes) when I play with someone I don't know?...what email do I use? I hope this is an easy fix...

You have to get their email address. Explain the reason for doing so. Of course, the person can refuse which is their option to do so. In that case, it won't be attested.

Thanks for the info...but this new rule will invalidate any and all scores where 1) they wont give an email (I wouldn't) or 2) you play alone. There has to be a better way.

Just saw this from USGA: Note: a player does not need to have a scorecard attested to verify it was an accompanied round. What does that mean?

That change showed up last year I think. You do not need to have an attest if you played with another golfer. The only time I get an attest is if I'm playing a club event. If it's with another club member I can tag or email them directly through this site. ( or at least I could before) On occasion I have played with someone I was randomly paired with and just asked for an email address and explained why before the round starts. I haven't had anyone say no yet.
