Murph,
My point in a nutshell. Where do you draw the line. Why just the DD's at your club?

I think the point on "where do you draw theline" has been mentioned n another post.
How do you think the police would react if you called them and told them that someone you know uses their mobile, or habitually speeds, whilst driving, is about to drive a car. It's pointless. Whereas, if someone has been drinking and are reported, at least the police know the offender will still have had a drink when they stop them.

But you are only penalising one type of offence, where as someone potentially far more dangerous gets away with it.
If it makes you feel good, go for it, but to me, it is the start of some petty nastiness that I could do without in my life. Dogging people up doesn't sit easily with me.

Re: What's your clubs Policy on
guys i can't believe you're all arguing about this.
put simply -
is drink driving bad? YES, of course it is.
should a club do anything about it? YES, if someone is clearly over the limit and planning on driving they should request keys/inform the police if he refuses.
Speeding - same applies, don't do it and if you get caught- Tough sh1t.

You'd report that to the police.

My club can not afford to have a policy on DD, over the past 20 years the amount of golfers & money they have lost due to the clamp down (rightly so) is irreversible. As a public pay and play you watch the general public finishing and few pop in for a pint post round. Membership has fallen from around 500 in the 1980s & early 1990s to around 200 members today, people used to come from all over for the social side of our club, its not just DD but other social factors as well but DD is one of the main culprits‘.
I don't drive so have to look at the courses available and the cost in taxi's when playing, hence why I joined a municipal about 3.3 miles from home. I do see people stepping over the line with drink, but the DD itself means one person can drink 6 pints and be under the limit and another can have a couple and be over, which doesn’t equal fairness. My friend often drink and drives but I wouldn’t ever get in a car with them, but on the other hand after a social night I see many cars left in the car park, which must be a good sign.
Tbh I don't think its anything to do with the club who DD or not, I think its about self responsibility when picking a club to play at and want to attend the social side, I wouldn’t pick a club 6 miles away from my house as I know the taxi would be £12 each way.
I think if clubs started reporting DD's then tbh I don't think their social side would last very long, as sad as it is, who would want to drink somewhere and be reported for DD when in fact you are under the limit due to your BMI or whatever and the club where more than happy to take your cash in the first place.
