On Saturday our stableford comp was won, on countback, with 41 points. I was wondering why the results were not on HDID and have just found out the reason.
Apparently the lad who came out on top played a wayward shot to the eleventh green and ended up in the cabbage. He played a provisional on to the green but then subsequently found his original. He asked one of his FC's who was already on the green to pick up his provisional. The FC picked the ball up but then threw it off the green.
The 'winner' then hacked his next shot out and managed to hit his discarded provisional. Probably irrelevant but the provisional stopped it two feet (max) from where it would have finished. The lad played the ball from where it lay and finished the hole.
All this was witnessed by another group on an adjacent tee who when they had finished their round enquired if he had added any penalty for hitting his own equipment before he signed his card. He said no as his view was that it was put there by an outside agency.
The committee are now going to rule on it before the result is confirmed.
Is the complaint correct?
