Are these extra hole valid?

You seem to have made your mind up that they are cheats. A bit harsh imo.

Without trying to sound the same, nobody should need to 'trust' someone else to take 10% off a number under 30 if they've been through school.

So you would do the same as them then?

The rules give them no other choice really, given the events. The match was concluded as per the rules with your opponents the victor.

Yeah yeah cheap sanctimonious digs about always being right, especially about stroke allocation i have openly taken on the chin and admitted to, but it is possible and I suspect it has happend in some form to most long time golfers (which i am not), but the issue is how cumulatively my opponents acted that warrants the word cheats.

If they've acted within the rules they are most certainly not cheats - I don't think they would have agreed to replay some holes had they intended to deceive. I suspect they were made aware of the rules after the event and have, rightly, acted upon that. It's a bitter pill for you to swallow though.

So as i said earlier a golfers word counts for nothing, as they by agreement played extra holes and then didn't like the outcome and were by the cheaters charter (rules) supposedly allowed to ignore the "timely" guidance and invoke a round where they by their own admission didn't justly win. Cheats is the only word to describe them. And just before you start typing yes I am naive, stupid, overly trusting about the stroke allocation issue, but if i am all those things they also share some culpability in this stage and if they don't then again the word cheat can be used as they did the maths and declared a false representation of their handicap (just one guy).

They, eventually, played by the rules so cheats isn't the right word, cads maybe.

You wonder where they guy that lets you tee up and hit from the incorrect place and then calls you on it is made, this nonsense if i wasn't a stand up guy would give me some clue.

 

[Chisb]

Thanks Guys for allowing me to vent.

Yes cads is good.

Thought for the day on the rules and spirit of fair play in golf - Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

If you are referencing someone recalling a tee shot made from the wrong place in a match, then the obvious answer is for you to play from the right place; in a stroke play event there are no such choices, and you would of course penalise yourself 2 shots and replay...
