The President
of the 
Bogie Club

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 for us, a square frisbee mounted on a wooden platform, with plenty of hyser angle. This trophy must be displayed prominently in the President's residence. There are sever penalties that can be imposed on any President 'cloaking' the badge of honour. 

There are a couple of other rules associated with the Presidency

Novices are nor eligible, no matter how old they are. All novices must enter in the causal division at their 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 
President of the Bogie Club.
