As a "lady member", I hate it when playing with guys if I sense they are tiptoeing around and not having the same sort of time they'd be having if I wasn't there. Would much prefer to hear swearing.
Plus I can be a bit of a pottymouth at times myself....

That's some next level bull faeces. Seems like there's no trial or requirement for evidence at your club. Or perhaps we aren't being told the entire story.

It seems that the guy the OP played with was offended by the on course swearing and reported the OP. Whether we think that's OTT or not, the club responded and wrote the to OP to invite him to put his side. The OP ignored this. Why he'd think it was a joke is a mystery as I'd personally respond to any correspondence, and if I wasn't sure why it had been sent, at least call the club for confirmation. As the OP failed to respond and attend the club made a decision in his absence. Again, whether you feel the punishment is excessive is a different matter.
I would think should the OP decide to leave and stop the DD's the club may make life difficult locally for the OP to move, especially if the county gets involved and I wonder if the handicap could be suspended. I know that any members that stop payment by DD at my club are pursued for the remaining balance for the years subscription and this is clearly laid out in the terms and conditions members sing when setting the DD up.
I wonder if we are getting the full story. I know some obnoxious members at my club that are sticklers for the rules and could be offended by the smallest thing on and off the course and will report it in minute detail, but swearing is a new one. I am sure there is more than this than being told and I wonder if words were exchanged.
As it stands, the OP clearly has several options. He can write in, appeal and hope the club will sit with him in attendance, he can plead his case and the punishment is suspended or reduced. He can go off to pastures new, but the club may be difficult, especially if he holds payments back. He can suck it up, sit it out and come back and try and pick up from where he left off. Personally I'd begin with the first option but as I say, depends on the circumstances behind this. All rather strange though

Where did the OP state that the letter he received was inviting him to a disciplinary meeting?
Several posters have made assumptions to this effect and based their responses on their assumptions. Could be correct assumptions... but they are assumptions nonetheless.

Agree, why some don't read posts properly and then go on to comment always amazes me.

Post #15.........he got a letter.

It's irrelevant. He received a letter & ignored it. What was the Committee supposed to do?

My reading of the situation from the OP's posts is that he received a letter from the club. He ignored this and went on to say that it escalated from there. It's a very reasonable assumption that the club set out their view and expected a response to confirm or deny what went on. The refusal to respond then left the club with little option but to proceed in the absence of any defence to the "alleged" offence.

Exactly. The letter no doubt would have contained the relevant information as to what it was about and given it was escalated upon non-attendance and that it was a disciplinary matter is clear. Can't see why people think that is such a huge assumption especially as the outcome was a ban. What else could the letter have been about?

Ye gods. You lot are so gullible and predictable. 
A "newby" comes on, baits the hook, casts, and reels you all in while sitting back and having a good laugh. You're arguing about what he did/didn't post, what he should/shouldn't have done, what might/mightn't have been in the letter, etc, etc.
And no, it wasn't me.
There again, I'm quite happy for the OP to come back on and actually give some proper information about this "incident" and prove me wrong.
