Strewth. I’m almost at the point of having to spell this out in words of one syllable, in big print, written in crayon ?
You have a strong team, all members of it performing, harmony in the camp. Two other steady golfers, doubtless nice fellas, who are so infrequently at the club that nobody knows them from Adam, are introduced to the team, both playing off 2. To accommodate them, in a side which is regularly getting results, two other good golfers, one off 4 the other 5, are unceremoniously ditched. Not because their performances were poor, because they weren’t, but because the other two had lower handicaps and the perception was their inclusion may improve team performance.
If you genuinely cannot grasp the impact that is likely to have on team morale, especially given the fact that two integral club members were forced to make way for two players who made the effort to come to the club perhaps half a dozen times a year, then this discussion can’t go anywhere. It’s shockingly poor team management.
