CONTINUING THE MAITLAND SHIELD DEBATE
Relax the Maitland Shield pool rule,
says Billy Sim
Billy Sim, the Craibstone Golf Club general manager, feels that the present Maitland Shield mandatory six-player pool, to be named well in advance, should be relaxed.
"As long as the clubs have four players turning up on the night for their matches, that's all that should count. The present rigid selection system is putting un-necessary pressure on the officials who are virtually team managers," says Billy (pictured) who intends raising the matter with the Maitland Shield organiser, Derek Johnstone, when he returns from Australia.
Directly or indirectly, the double scratching of first Stonehaven, then Peterculter from the 100th staging of the City of Aberdeen men's double foursomes could be traced back to the inflexibility of the team pool rule.
