Just been chosen to be Captain of our society for next year and looking for some ideas of what a capt should do or what i could bring in to help things run smoothly and be fun still..

One thing that im after ideas for is how to go about tyring to stop 1 or 2 individuals just now n then throwing or slamming a club,in the past fines where introduced but that just seemed to slowly fade away as the culprits didnt take it seriously and didnt pay so looking at different way of trying to stop it.

Any other ideas would be much appreciated cheers....

Babies throwing their toys are forced to wear a full size nappy at the next round, complete with babies bonnet ;)

If nothing more it would make some great first tee banter and show societies for what they should be, mates getting together for a laugh whole sharing a common interest

Another one I've seen in my old swindle is each week you don't win, you get a shot back which is uncapped, but when you win your cut by two shots plus what ever over 36 your score was, ie 45 points would be 2+9, where it got fun was the minute people got to 36 they had to wear a dress for a complete round.

We name and shame, before the scores are called out any incident such as this, club throwing, air shot, hole in one, someone falling etc has been recorded by our "sky sports" camera and the captain basically announces it to everyone, its not done in malicious way and its quite good fun.

seems a decent way and doesnt offend- if anyone tried to make me wear a dress for a round they'd have to buy me dinner and a movie first:smirk:

P.S never have been nor ever will get involved in societies :rolleyes:

Does it not run smoothly as it is ? if so i wouldnt change too much , if not you must have specific ideas of what you want to change .. apart from below

Should do ? an idea is to play with different people each outing and get to know as many as possible ..

Just have a word when it happens that people have approached you and are not happy with the carry on , not sure how you would use the fine thing in society golf ..

Im sure it all doesnt fall on to your shoulders & you have a committee to help you run it,discuss it with them and see the ground feeling on it ,

If you or the group still feel it is a serious enough problem then at the AGM or hold an EGM if you need to, introduce a code of conduct for the society , make people sign it if they want to become members .. lay down diciplinary actions , ie warning , 1 game ban , a full ban etc ..


"1 or 2 individuals just now n then throwing or slamming a club" is not a real problem tho .. is it ?

Yeah dont get me wrong it does run quite smoothly and we have got a good bunch of lads and it does only happen now n then but we go to decent courses each season so last thing we want as a society is any members complaining as there are still a few who lets be honest dont want societies on there beloved course so we dont want to give them any more ammunition,i want it to be something thats taken in a fun way and any other fun ideas that as captain could put in place even if its just for my yr of reign :)
