A Warning for all COGS.. A Rebuttal!

To maintain fair play and verify the truth it is necessary to refute the libellous accusations of “swanking” in the toilets at Okehampton.

The COGS are a tolerant society, as evidenced by the endless hours spent meandering around the golf course enduring the idiosyncrasies of fellow players without a thought of complaining.

But back to the matter in hand-swanking! We have a long tradition of playing at Okehampton but our reputation has been sullied in recent times by certain members engaging in post golf activities with members of the serving staff.

Conscious of the need to re-establish our good name, imagine the discomfort when two of our members returned to the changing rooms, prior to boarding the bus, to find all manner of COGS` regalia scattered around the room.

Surgical appliances, cigar butts and various items of discarded golfing apparel. In addition, someone, possibly of Irish origin, had left a rather nasty deposit in one of the cubicles, hence the need for swarfega!

Our two public spirited COGS tidied the mess and were heard to remark, “ We`ve cleaned up here Grats”.

It can be seen from this account that simple misunderstandings can lead to extremely hurtful comments and it is to be hoped that this incident will be flushed down the pan of history and that the members concerned will be welcomed back into the bosom of the COGS.

Free drinks would go some way to heal the pain although whilst incidents like this may be forgiven they will never be forgotten.

Signed

A Perpetrator
