Yes, it's not the Clubs position or duty to determine the appropriate compensation for the harm...it's the Clubs role to police it's members and ensure that it's employees have a safe and appropriate working condition. Private parties should handle the compensation...but wha should the Club require for continued membership, if applicable, that's the question.
Suspension
Anger Management Classes
A written apology
A donation in the kids name to the WGA
I don't know...it's truly regrettable and horrible...I'm sure the guy feels terrible ( if not, then screw him). But, I've done some dumb things and seen a lot of people do dumb things on the golf course (driving carts like assholes, hitting golf shots they shouldn't, etc, etc), when drinking and in life. If the appropriate regret is shown and the member acts in a conciliatory and eanest manner, I think that he should get a second chance at some point IMO. But, I'm also sure I dint ave all the facts.
