Everybody has there own unique handicap in golf. Well not exactly unique when you see the amount of bandits out there- Playing in competitions just to get their point ones back so they can build their handicap to win the big club prizes such as the Christmas Hamper, Mr. Captains Day or Mr. Presidents Day.
But I only thought I had the whole scandal that was going on the golfing world!!
As everybody knows, or at least they should know if they apply for a handicap, is that you can only have one!! One club- one handicap! But not for one man! No, no!!
He was a playing member of Ballybofey&Stranorlar Golf Club more commonly know as B&S. He had his handicap from B&S for years. Last year our wonderful man with obvious brains to burn became a member of Portsalon Golf Club. He applied for a handicap in Portsalon. Unknown to handicap committee in Portsalon about his original handicap in B&S.....he got one in Portsalon!!! That is like the biggest no of all nos!!! A few months later he is confused that he isn't been cut for breaking the C.S.S(Standard Scratch of the course on the day of the competition). So after a brief meeting he produces the two G.U.I cards.....one for Portsalon and one for B&S. When I purposed the question of why he had two cards...he said he had one for playing in competitions in Portsalon and one card for playing competitions in B&S. Oh and it gets better! He then just chooses one of either cards to play in any open competitions around the country!!! And he did not understand how serious this was!
His handicap could be suspended and he could be excommunicated from both clubs for a few months! I think the worst part of this is that he is a single figure handicapper! He should have known!
