We have all got used to players' ancestors and distant relatives being proactively uncovered in order to enable them to qualify for the country of their choice rather than their country of birth. Football, rugby and cricket have all experienced controversy associated with thus trend. Well now it has reached the world of golf, and the Rest of the World in particular.
It was announced today that Paul Stone will not only join the Rest of the World team in this years event, despite having been on the winning England side at Celtic Manor in 2013, but also that he will do so as captain.
Rumours are already circulating that this is a conspiracy to install an English plant and throw the matches and ensure another English victory. Such talk is hardly surprising given the recent corruption scandals surrounding Split Bladder and his cronies. But Stone brushed aside questions about whether he had accepted a bribe of a single room in order to switch sides, or to help the organisers unseat the previous captain Mike Dunbar after his own email scandal became public.
Paul is adamant that his heart is now with the Rest of the World. "I have recently taken the opportunity via National Geographic to take a DNA test that researches your ancestral make up. I am 10% neanderthal (actually we all have a bit of neanderthal in us but let's put that to one side) so I am happy and proud to represent Africa in the Dacoity Cup."
