Robert Uttley Winter League

Week Five – January 2^nd/3^rd

The weather relented partially at the weekend, but just on Saturday and even then there was a heavy snow shower in the middle of the morning which caused several players to abandon their rounds. "Well Done!" to the intrepid few who carried on through the snow and finished their rounds - although apparently at one stage the balls were doubling in size as putts rolled across snow-covered greens.

I have thought long and hard about whether these results should stand, but the bad weather is still continuing and with trophies to engrave and prizes to sort out, we cannot let the League drag on. On the other hand, the low turnout means that not many points would be awarded but overall I have decided that it is best for this weekend to count.

I have also decided that the players who did not complete their rounds will be treated as if it had been an ordinary qualifying Stableford, i.e. players who submitted incomplete but signed cards would count as No Return and others would be Disqualified. This may seem a bit harsh but complies with Congu Decisions - see this web page, (look for Clause 4.). Just to clarify this point, this only applies to this round, not the whole league!
