So we had a guy at IGC. Twice opponents walked off the course, during a Club Match Play Championship against the guy ... he was a known cheater.
Fast forward a few years, he's a member of another club I also belong to in NH. 2 day M/M, Point Quota. $100,000 Calcutta. A friend of mine had a syndicate and bought this guy's team at the auction. On the morning of the match, the syndicate owner goes to Mr. X and asks if he wants to buy 1/2 his team back. Hard "NO". Right before he tees off, the syndicate guy goes back to him, just to confirm. Mr. X gets nasty and tells the syndicate guy to "get lost, I don't want to buy any of my team".
Mr. X's team finishes the 1st day in the lead. They come in +10. He goes to the syndicate guy and say, "I want to buy 1/2 my team". Syndicate guy says, "I asked you twice and you refused". Mr. X says, "if you don't sell me 1/2, I'm going to tank it tomorrow".
I never saw his name on the Tee Sheet again.
