Rina Rohilla said the sport was her “whole life outside work” when she was booted out of the Royal Mid-Surrey Golf Club — where King Edward VIII was once captain — for “fiddling her scores”.
Central London County Court heard she had been “unpopular” with a “core clique” at the club, “chief amongst them” ladies’ vice captain Beverley Mayes.
Complaints had been made about Ms Rohilla’s “gamesmanship, the terrible way in which she treats her opponents” and “her traits/mannerisms/conduct”, which “are certainly not as we would want from a member”. Then in September 2019 she was accused of cheating in a competition at the club next to Kew Gardens in west London.
Her score for one round was marked by opponent Eva Haupt, the court was told. But when Ms Rohilla went to log it in the computer in the clubhouse, numbers on the score card were wrong. Two sixes had been rubbed out and replaced with fives. Ms Rohilla recorded fives and was accused of making the swap herself.
She denied cheating but the management committee terminated her membership. Ms Rohilla said...
