SOS Golf: Winter Cup 2016 Rnd1- Old Course

Sponsored beautifully by Ross Campbell.

Welcome to Rnd 1 of the 2016 Winter Cup, and what a game of golf it was going to be.
The sun was nearly shining and The WeatherMan had assured us that as long as we were in by 2pm we would all be going home dry!!
Yaaahhhhaaayyy we all cried!

But there was something slightly amiss as the language and innuendo of the SOS Club Members was at an all time high.

So much so this was to be The Most X-Rated Blog Evers!!!!!
But before i can get down to details,,,,,,,,,

SOS CAPTAIN TOUGHER THAN the IOC

An exclusive story from your roving reporter Paul the Gonch Gardner

In a shocking but true story, SOS Captain EARLE SCARFF today announced the disqualification of no less than 4 players from Saturday's Round 1 of the Winters Cup.

When asked for a comment he replied:-

‘I am no shrinking violet, I am not like the IOC, if a tough decision has to be made I will make it!!

It was a tough decision , particularly as one of the recalcitrant players is a committee member.

However in truth, it's a simple matter, it is the responsibility of every player to sign for a correct score and submit a correct card at the end of play.'

After investigation, It was found that 4 players submitted signed cards with a lower score than they should have.

One can only assume that they did not check the daily start sheet sheet , which published all the correct handicaps, even as far as being highlighted in red!

It is the case that on occasions the daily start sheet does vary from that first published on late Wednesday.

SOS Captain went on to state:-

'In this case the alterations to handicaps were in red on the start sheet, clearly the players didn’t check.'

In a bid to soften the blow, an empathetic Earl said that the offending players can still play this week and be eligible to win the daily event, however the recalcitrant players scores will not be eligible for the eclectic competition.

Earl also mentioned:-

'The players will be notified individually and not be publically vilified,,,,, unless that is their wish.'

The Captain's final comment was:-

'although rules are made to be broken and on occasions bent, one of the fundamental rules is you have to submit a correct card, end of story’

EDITOR'S COMMENT

'it's tough but fair!

It is up to all of us to check our handicaps on the morning of play, after all you do need to check your name off for the novelties'
