When Does a Club Take Action

[Oddsocks]

Interested to know how many reports, rumours or whatever does a club need to receive before they take action against an accused cheat.

In the past I stopped playing with someone because I suspected him of improving his lie. You know the sort of thing, always could get a club to the ball in deep rough, ball always sitting up etc. Never had enough to report but enough to front up with my suspicions and say I was not playing with him again. When asked why I had changed groups I made some excuse to be told that it was for the best as others had made accusations in the past. I was surprised that nothing had been done. Bill's thread brought the whole affair back.

So, whose club has done something about it, what did they do and what was the punishment. I am interested as suspect some clubs would be too worried about legal action to do much

Our took action on someone who was suspected as he always found his ball no matter how feel the cabbage was, then he got cought red handed in a roll up. He found his ball and played it only for someone to find his actual ball straight after.

Barred from our roll up for one full season and all comps had to be played with w committee member only.
