Court Bars St. Leon‑Rot From DGL Final Four

A Wiesbaden court found a player’s late reclassification violated the league’s January 1 amateur rule, requiring the federation to correct results and change the tournament field.

In München wollte der Hopp-Klub Deutscher Meister werden. Doch ein Gericht gewinnt.

Overview

  • The Landgericht Wiesbaden on Friday ordered the Deutscher Golf‑Verband to disqualify Golf Club St. Leon‑Rot for the 3rd and 4th Bundesliga matchdays and to correct the match results and final table.
  • The injunction rests on a DGL statute that a player must have held amateur status since January 1 to count as an amateur in the league.
  • The dispute centers on Carl Siemens, who played as a professional in February and was reclassified by the DGV as an amateur around June 1 before appearing for St. Leon‑Rot.
  • As a result of the corrected table St. Leon‑Rot drops to third and Frankfurter Golf Club moves up to second, qualifying Frankfurt for the Final Four and setting a men’s semifinal against GC Hubbelrath.
  • The DGV said it will comply with the interim order, and the case has prompted calls for review of the federation’s fast-track reclassification process and possible personnel consequences.
