    [QUOTE=markTHEblake;1402387]to be honest i doubt that, but I also doubt your story is the way the other manager reported it too, maybe he faked the call?(not saying you have twisted the story, you may not be privy to all info Unfortunately I wasn’t privy to your knowledge/ experience at the time . The other manager made the call , I could see him and could hear bits of the conversation and what was being left out and assumed he would hand the phone to me and I would give my side of the story . However he just hung up and said they had been awarded the match . When I checked with the manager of our weekend pennant team he basically said what you have said , so as a start of an appeal process I rang the vgl official the next morning , his reply went “ oh I thought there must have been something riding on it ( ie the overall win ) bit more conversation he then tells me he isn’t the vgl rules official , even tho he did give a ruling but it’s now too late to appeal . Muppet !!!!!Slow play at a vgl event ( medal of the medallist’s ) gave em a second chance and represented Olinda , stroke event group of 4 , handicaps 12, 14 26 32 , no one had played the course . Three groups of 3 in front of us , I was only one playing to cap ,two high markers where playing badly lots of doubles and triples , we dropped off the group in front as said a 3 on the 12 th , but were well ahead of the group behind ( almost a full hole ) , vgl officials waiting for us on 13 th green got stuck into us over slow play , one of the officials then escorted us the rest of the way telling us to hurry up ,26 marker put 4 balls into water on 14 and five on 15 , I snap hooked one in on 14 , 32 marker put a couple in , both of them posted double figure scores on both holes , I had my first double, drinks cart drove past me on 16 th and said you’re wo ****ing holes behind get a ****ing move on , halfway down the 18 th offical asks me what time we teed off , “10.30” looks at his watch does calculations says “4.5 hrs for the round not bad “ walks off . He had actually slowed us down because of all the lost balls etc shots etc , we finished two holes in front of the group behind us , from what I could see they weren’t spoken to and certainly weren’t escorted for the last four or five holes . I know you are suppose to keep up with the group in front before anyone tells me but I still think it was over the top and that they are muppets!!!! To rub salt in I dropped 4 shots to cap over those holes and the winner beat me by four shots muppets!!!!!
