Used to be on our committee but had to resign due to working away during the week. I did have to sit on a discipinary sub committee when someone was caught cheating. It was difficult as I knew the guy but we had to remain impartial. Glad to help if I can. PM me if you don't want to post full details.

Not on the committee but surely there are guidelines set out as to what you can and cant do as a member & as a committee & the recourse allowed if there is a problem .. the club rules /constitution should cover it .. shouldnt it ?? one thing i will say is you will need concrete proof & if there are witnesses to the gross misconduct make sure they are willing to see it through to its conclusion , which could be court if the member doesnt agree with clubs decision ..as title says, looking for advice on running it and some issues that have come up regarding gross misconduct.
Used to be the Match secretary of my previous club (many years ago)
I don't know the circumstances of this case, but I know that I've seen the Captain of my previous club banned sin die for what was considered then to be gross misconduct.
It wasn't pretty.!!

Can a golf club make a rule to exclude away players from the club championship without having a proper meeting?

I would have thought so. They would have needed to discuss the issue in some depth via email/telephone with the majority of committee members though at least.
If the issue has arisen since the last meeting yet before the event then I would say they have made a quick decision due to an issue being raised last second.
It your not happy with the decision then write a letter to them. At the end of the day they are a bunch of amatures trying there best to help run the club and don't always make the best decisions. They should detail in the next meeting the reasons why they felt the need to change the event entry details and the general thinking behind the change. They can't make everyone happy but they are trying to work in the best interests of the club and it's members.
I can possibly see why the 'home' members of the club have done this within a club that operates a points scheme as potentially you could play in all the club champs within that group of clubs therefore the winner of the event could be someone who has never and will never play there again which wouldn't really represent a club champion.
We have members at our club who are members of one or two other clubs but they are more than welcome to play as they pay full membership for their section.
However if the owners of the club say that you are welcome to play in all comps then possibly the committee have done something outside of their remit which may need to be pointed out to them. I would have thought though that this probably would have been cleared from above (possibly not) and in the small print there would be something along the lines of we reserve the right to change the status of any event without prior notice.
My 2 cents anyway!
