After Brian Faure petitioned to ban all woman from golf, due to incredibly slow play and a complete disregard for the games etiquette, he is being sued for discrimination by the ladies day justice commission, lead by Mr Kenneth Winter. An out of court settlement was offered by Faure’s lawyer, Marshall Erikson who pioneered the idea of a screening process for woman to play main stream courses. Firstly, they would have to have 36 golf lessons in a 1 month period, as well as hit over 3000 practice balls. Then they would be interviewed for suitable golfing personalities and undergo a fitness test and training session to make sure they are capable of walking a golf course in under 4 hours using the Keith Robot technique and run 21 km in under 90 minutes. Thirdly there would be a test over nine holes, held during a super 15 rugby game where a score of even par or better must be achieved and finally, a pop quiz on history and rules of the game, as well as rugby trivia must be passed at 98% or higher. If all these criteria are met, a 3 ball will be played with the TWO RANDER players or AB, Makhaya or Trish and they will have the final say in selection based on instinct.
A very reasonable deal I think, and a deal that couldn’t be turned down by the ladies one would assume.
