Fair Play Controversy: Golf Enthusiast Challenges London Club Expulsion
  • Country:
  • United Kingdom

An Indian-origin golfer, Rina Rohilla, is embroiled in a legal battle with her southwest London club over what she claims was an unfair expulsion following cheating allegations.

Rohilla, who has been a member of Royal Mid-Surrey Golf Club for 16 years, contends the decision to expel her stemmed from personal biases, possibly related to her ethnicity. She denies altering her scores in a 2019 competition, a claim the club refutes, arguing their decision was justified.

The ongoing trial at Central London County Court highlights Rohilla's deep connection to golf and the emotional toll of this expulsion, as she seeks damages and an injunction against the club's decision.
