He hit it close to a tree, flipped the club over and knocked the ball out L/H'd. A local idiot and member of the host club told the organisers (PGA & "The Variety Club of Great Britain") what he did and made a fuss.

The official outcome was announced and no action was taken against Brian. All scores stood.
"Brian Close had not acted in anyway that was believed to have given him any unfair advantage over the rest of the field, he had hit ONE shot L/H'd, but with a R/H'd club, just like any R/H'd golfer can, the fact that Brian is better at executing that type of shot should not be held against him."

Now this goes to show that sometimes 'Sense' is put first.

Ah, yes, isn't it a shame that "common" sense is such a rarity? Nice to know it still prevails from time to time.
