Re: Accused wrongly of cheating
They have impugned your honor. I think your only option is to challenge them to a duel.
Ok ... seriously. I'm not sure you can salvage this situation. Anyone who believes the lies that are being spread about you will not want to associate with you. I certainly wouldn't associate with someone I believe to be a card cheat and a golf cheat.
So, unless you either get these people to recant their story, I don't think there's any room for compromise. The only thing I can think of is to find out if these members have done this before. If these guys are sore sports who hustle others, reneg on their debts and accuse the victor of cheating, it's possible or likely that they've done this before. Their prior victims (if still in your club) knowing the quality of the accusation are likely to treat you better socially.
