disqualifed rule 6-6(b)

[barrybridges]

With the utmost respect, I'm surprised you're not causing more of a fuss.

This sounds like the most pathetic, unwelcoming, horrible behaviour from your club - is this really somewhere you want to be a member?

Why be so churlish and try to disqualify you under this rule in the first place? How absurd.

If this is how they treat members I would be looking to encourage others to leave.

There's a massive difference between being pedantic and being pathetic. Disqualifying someone for not completing their full name smacks of corruption - did the club captain come 2nd behind you, by any chance?

Quite astonishing. Name and shame the club!

Thanks for all the updates

I have raised this with the committee and it looks like an incorrect ruling and I expect it to be overturned.

I'll update later.

Strictly speaking it can't be a local rule, but it could be a condition of competition, although I rather doubt it is.

I'd be suprised to find the conditions of competition could waive a rule of golf.

georgedooley I think they should look at it as they are so hopefully the outcome will be postive for you. I would also hope it was just an oversight or misinterpration on their part and they hadn't checked it out properly rather than an alternative to that.

Aye and how many are under the age of 30?
