Jorgie says anyone who is not Form 2 rated is the WRONG person to be inspecting this aircraft!! In fact one of the purposes of a Daily Inspection is to detect unsuspected or unreported damage. And a Daily Inspector is authorised to certify a glider as Airworthy for one days flying even if he doesn't know about a previous overspeed or over stress incident.
Think about THAT next time you are doing a Daily Inspection on a club glider which has been previously flown by someone you don't know doing something you don't know about.
