Club Disciplinary Procedure

[Swango1980]

Out of interest, as an affiliated golf club, should we have a proper disciplinary procedure, that provides a fair hearing? We are not a members club, and our constitution apparently says the owner can suspend anyone without any warning or explanation.

Its always good to have formal procedures for ease if you have to deal with anything. Best first stop is County followed by EG who have a load of different templates. Wouldn't know if this is covered though.


Only had one serious case and we just informed the individual that the issue would be dealt with by the Section Committee with the option to appeal through the main committee. Affiliated members do have the option if they are not satisfied to go through the county.

I'd imagine there would be a reluctance to have any formal procedure, as the owner likes to have full control.

They are still an affiliated golf club so would need to follow any requirements laid down by EG. I presume they have followed EG requirements for juniors with the Safe Golf policies?
