Sorry, I just assumed that with scorecards such an error would not have occurred. None of your groupmates questioned your score hole score as it was being recorded? Maybe you had one of those scorers who mumbles while walking to the next tee "everybody par that", instead of clearly saying on the next teepad:

scorer: "Mary?"
Mary: "Three."
scorer: "Three."

scorer: "Bill?"
Bill: "Three."
scorer: "Three."

scorer: "Marge."
Marge: "Four."
scorer: "Four."

scorer: "Ted?"
Ted: "Three."
scorer: "Three."

scorer: "Mary, Bill, Ted, Marge."
