Reading Robbie Williams’ Instagram posted thoughts on the death of Liam Payne…very appropriate and sensitive…and words that apply in life in general…and so, as I have suggested, in the context of this discussion also…

“We don’t know what’s going on in people’s lives. What pain they’re going through and what makes them behave in the way that they behave. Before we reach to judgment, a bit of slack needs to be given”

I think you've got the wrong bands. Neither Robbie Williams or Liam Payne were in Busted.

My take on this is the perp has purposely & systematically manipulated his handicap over an extended period of time.

Has coerced another member to sign off his scores and has taken money from his rollup as a result of these actions.

Guilty as a fox in a henhouse.

From what I read, he hasn’t offered to pay back his winnings, he hasn’t apologised, he is just sorry he has been caught.

I’m all for forgiveness, but there has to be a penalty for such behaviour in a game based on trust and personal honesty.

How is he still at the club? As soon as this was proved, he should have been out on his ear, his card marked and other courses in the area advised.

There can be no other punishment

Yet he is still at the club, still turning up at roll ups , getting the cold shoulder from everyone, he is persona non grata, but still he turns up….. this behaviour I just don’t understand.

He is playing with people who do not want to play with him, there may be members who feel that that playing with him is sucking the enjoyment they get from the game and they might reconsider their membership. This is intolerable.

The longer this goes on, the rumblings and discontent will continue, The club need to take a stand and do what they should have done and revoke his membership, otherwise the integrity of the club is in question.

When I was a mod here, I cut some people an incredible amount of slack as I was aware of their mental health issues, and there is a parallel here, it made me unpopular with those who had been insulted and ultimately it made no difference as they didn’t stop and were eventually binned.
Binning them immediately would have been the best thing to do in hindsight.

We are talking about a guy losing his golf club membership, he’s not going to prison, he’s not losing his job, he’s not losing his family, he needs to find another past time to cheat at.

It's all a hoax. Like Covid it didn't happen.

And that post should be shown to the club. We had a guy leave our fuddle. He had been in the fuddle for about 18 months. He was called out for cheating. Improving his lie. He had been told before not to do it. He is now playing with another set of lads. I am sure they know what he can be like.

Not be seen all weekend and didn't play with any of the groups. Maybe the penny is dropping

Sorry to drag this thread back but honestly the drama at our club recently has been award worthy.

Members defending the "cheater" (this baffles me still)
Members having full blown arguments in the club
Members losing their heads in whatsapp chats

Highly entertaining watching the keyboard warriors face to face with people who don't deal with issues via a keyboard :ROFLMAO:

And all because a bloke wanted to say he was a single digit handicapper when he just wasn't/ isn't.

Maybe you should approach a reality tv company. This could be the next love island 🤣
