Funny Tassie story

[Deleted Member 1156]

A pal of mine is playing in the Tassie at Carnoustie this week and posted on Bookface last night about an incident that occurred yesterday in the knockout stages.

2 guys played their match with the final result being a 3&1 win. They then hit the clubhouse bar for the afternoon and downed around 8 pints each. When the victor went to leave and picked up his bag, he discovered he had 15 clubs in it so he did the correct thing and called a DQ on himself. But he was told by the officials that max penalty in matchplay is a 2 hole penalty so in fact the match would have been all square on the 18th tee. The outcome was they had to continue the match from the 18th in a rather drunken state.

That is one play off I would have love to have seen I don't know the outcome of the match though.

:rofl:

I wonder how many times did he have to try and count the clubs! Presumably realised when he saw a couple of 'alternative' clubs!

Good to see he did the 'right' thing. I guess the result hadn't been officially announced either - otherwise the original result would have stood.

Good story DFS....not JAS?

A Muirfield member I know once thought he was out of the running for the Spring Medal.
He liked a Kummel or six and at the end of the day was amazed to find he was in a three way sudden death play off.
He was virtually carried to the first tee took an almighty swing at the ball, missed by about a yard and fell flat on his backside.

Remember Howller at the Open a few years back. He was half way home to Swindon when he had to turn round and drive at full speed back in case there was a play off.

It was JAS that posted the story but if it was him he didn't admit to it!!

He has also just posted that he's made it into last 16 of the handicap KO
