I know a couple of R and A referees and they tend to say they leave as much to the clubs as possible just laying down rules about standards.
My view is it would be the committee to blame but the Head GK will be scapegoated. Thats how old money works which it is at that club.
So whos going to get lynched for pin positions and length of grass? Head Green Keeper or Greens comitee?
I quite like Michalson and put him in e,w bets on occasion.
