In our club championship (36 holes in one day) I turned in my scorecard with a total score for 36 holes of 141 and went to the bar.
Later the tournament organizer came to me and said I was disqualified for handing in an incorrect scorecard because my actual score was 142 and I had added it incorrectly.
Is this right? Doesn't seem fair to me.

I was only correct if one of your hole scores was wrong.
If all your hole scores were correct, and the addition was in error, you shouldn't have been DQed.
The Rules are clear, the player is responsible for verifying his holes scores. If he signs for one that is higher than he actually had, he has to take the higher score. If he signs for one that is lower, he is DQed.

The committee is responsible for addition. In the old days some golfers never finished school and were not very good at math.
Actually I think some of the guys I currently play with never finsihed school. If you know what I mean.

Another option is to just look it up. Here's a link to the rules:

Maybe they attended a new school...you know, one where six shots from tee to hole actually counts as 4 on the card...

Have them refer to
33-5. Score Card
In stroke play, the Committee must provide each competitor with a score card containing the date and the competitor's name or, in foursomes or four-ball stroke play, the competitors' names.
In stroke play, the Committee is responsible for the addition of scores and the application of the handicap recorded on the score card.
In four-ball stroke play, the Committee is responsible for
recording the better-ball score for each hole and in the process applying the handicaps recorded on the score card, and adding the better-ball scores.
In bogey, par and Stableford competitions, the Committee is responsible for applying the handicap recorded on the score card and determining the result of each hole and the overall result or points total.
Note: The Committee may request that each competitor record the date and his name on his score card.

It was in the wrong folder. It has to do with rules and that is where I moved it. Yes, I am one of the moderators of the forum and try to help keep it organized.
