Bunkers Golf Society run a penalty system called "Yoink"
It is not intended as a harsh punishment for players, more to encourage banter whilst improving standards.
The money raised from fines will be solely used for the benefit of the society and its members and will be used to fund things such as prizes or contirbutions towards trips and awards ceremonies.
The fines will be payable at the end of each event and will all be documented through the annual society accounts.
A good "Yoinking" costs 50p
