Gerrard's Golf War

[gkmacca]

Rum lot up in Southport. Apparently they said 'We don't want his sort here'.



Daily Mirror:

Kop legend Steven Gerrard has reportedly been rejected membership at an exclusive golf course because of his off-field behaviour.

The former Liverpool captain had hoped to become a regular at the Hillside Golf Club in Southport.
But bosses reviewed his application and allegedly turned it down over fear it would bring "shame" on its reputation.

The S*n report that Gerrard's involvement in a street brawl back in August 2013 cost him the membership.

It is believed that other Anfield legends, Kenny Dalglish and Alan Hansen, had nominated the LA Galaxy midfielder as a potential new member of the club.

But that was rejected last week after a committee reviewed the application.

A source reportedly said: “They’re worried he’ll damage the club’s reputation.”

It is believed to be the first time that Dalglish has recommended a friend for membership at the course, which costs up to £150 per round for a visitor.

Dalglish was reportedly furious at Gerrard's rejection.

The source added: “Kenny was fuming after Steve was blackballed. Nobody expected he’d be rejected.”

Imagine a Syrian refugee reading this.

Immigration rejection vs club membership rejection

Hmm. Tough life for some.

I'm trying to imagine it, but even my imaginary refugee has more important things to do than read this.

Trust me. I'm an expert on refugees.

Oh £150 per round is too much for Stevie I guess?

 

[Judge Jules]

Back when the nightclub incident happened I might have understood their reluctance (plus the King and Jocky would presumably not have sponsored Stevie's application at that time). Now, though, it's the kind of thing which gets golf club committees a bad rep.

Maybe the chairman of the relevant one is a bluenose.

You'd get a lot more perks for membership that would probably in total cost more than you'd pay per visit anyway. e.g. locker room, events, ability to play without having to be with another member etc.

Still...

The golf club should offer an honorary membership to Phil Collins instead.

His members ID number would be 0000001.

So glad I'm not a multi millionaire , this sounds like a Nightmare.

Still...

Do you play golf?

 

[Athens]

Do you play golf?

He's more of a pocket billiards player.

Hahaha!

The implication being that Modo likes to jiggle his testicles when his hands are in his trouser pockets.

Is it true Modo? Do you like to jiggle your testicles?

 

[Athens]

It's more complicated than that. You need a cue to play billiards, you just can't move the balls around with your hands, you know.

 

[Athens]

His willy is his cue, in case you're wondering.

 

[gene hughes]

Phew...

 

[StevieM]

Is it possible to snooker yourself in pocket billiards - what would this entail?

You can it's called being bolloxed.

You're not a golfer are you.

 

[Modo]

Do you play golf?

Hell no.

He's more of a pocket billiards player.

Your not a man if you don't grab your nuts from time to time. I'm grabbing my nuts right now.
So yes I fondle my balls.

 

[Woland]

He didn't get knocked back because he likes Phil Collins (though that would have been enough for me)

 

[Dave G]

You would just do what Jack Nickleson famously did when a golf course refused to let him play one day when he turned up. He wrote a cheque out and bought the course.

snopes

 

[gkmacca]

Bellamy's applying next.

 

[Rafiagra]

Are we really recounting a report originating from that rag? I heard that he withdrew his application rather than it be turned down. Better to do that than have a rejection as other clubs probably won't take you then.

Stupid if they were going to reject him based on the southport incident. All it takes is one blackballer tho, so probably some bluenose with an axe to grind.

Oh for god's sake, the story originated at the golf club. Citing the Mirror report is hardly like trying to sell copies of that wretched rag. The first mention of the story, incidentally, was by Charles Sale in the Mail.

It's a prerequisite
