After last year's debacle where the chief exec quit and the members rejected the proposal to double the affiliation fee to fund a number of initiatives, the latest AGM last weekend ended in acrimony with the more modest £3.75 increase rejected and the chair calling out some of the sexism and misogyny she's been subjected to in the role.
This rejection in conjunction with reduced funding from Sport Scotland means the incoming chief exec will have to spend his first few weeks and months on further cost cutting rather than on initiatives to develop and grow the game.
Seems like they also need to do a lot to win "hearts and minds" of rank and file golfers who don't appreciate the role Scottish Golf plays in the game, and maybe knocking a few dinosaur heads together as well!
