Pro as club captain?

[SammmeBee]

Since, by definition as a pro, he cannot have a CONGU handicap, how can he play in club competitions?

Why does he have to play in competitions?

So my club has just announced that next year's vice captain is going to be the club pro, meaning the year after that he will be the club captain. No mention of him giving up any of his duties as the club pro.
I've never heard of this before, seems unusual, anyone known this happen?

I don't have a problem with it, I just thought it was unusual so thought I'd ask.

Going to be a problem in the Captain/Pro challenge matches versus pairs of members.

Our pro is an employee of the club and so wouldn't be eligible. Never heard of it before

As he is a pro then surely he wont be able to represent the club in team matches, which is one of the things our captain does.

I think he might make the scratch team.

I think it depends on what your Captain does.
Our last 9 haven't played for the team because they weren't good enough, attended all matches though, we don't have Captain/Pro challenges.
Our's is very proactive, but more on the committee and organising side, some of these roles would probably be slightly easier for a pro and his knowledge of the club.

This will be club-to-club. Our Captain doesn't represent the club in team matches unless he is selected - he is but a member. He and she do represent the club in many invitations and 'captains-comps'.
