| This prestigious title was created
out of a growing demand from rank and file members, for awards or honours
at tournaments, other than those awarded to the winner(s).
As there is usually only one winner,
the majority of members felt left out of the honour and glory buzz, thus
the Presidency was born.
The title is only open to adult
members of L.T.D, (it was felt that the burden of responsibility would
be too much for our junior members) and is competed for at all home and
away tournaments.
The honour and the glory goes to
the player who, , by shear fact of the number of bogies, double bogies,
triple bogies and maybe even quadruple bogies scored, manages to
to end up last on the leader board.
Dave has created a wonderful trophy

residence. There are sever penalties that can be imposed on any President
'cloaking' the badge of honour.

associated with the Presidency
Novices are nor eligible, no matter

first tournament.
Women have a handicap advantage
of one shot per hole over the men.
Absences must be appologised for.
Two consecutive unexplained or unjustified absences results in automatic
Presidency.
The Immediate
Past President will present the award. If the Immediate
Past President is not available (and there had better be a bloody
good reason), then any Past President will
do.
A President's
name may only be recorded once on the President's
Trophy, no matter how many times an individual takes office.
Mike has written a song about the
Presidency.
It is sung by one and all at the presentation. We hope to have it on-line
soon. Check back here soon.
The upshot of all this is that,
the rank and file members are
no longer moaning.
They are all busy practicing in
the hope of avoiding
the burden of responsibility that
goes with being
