I watched a 4 hour 15 minute round yesterday, would’ve been less but there was a bit of needless slow play infront at 11. Thursday and Friday was 6 hours, seen a 40 minute par 5. There’s no excuse for it taking this long today with it only being groups of 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says after sic holes "it should have taken you..." etc. Some of the pros would be mortified Similar at Bishopbriggs, sign coming off the 9th saying you should be 1hr 50mins max at that point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubbs3333 Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 (edited) Anyone on here an expert on golf rules? At my local club it was the 4th round of our club championship today. Weather horrendous but everyone started. Course become unplayable (greens flooded) so the day was abandoned/cancelled. Final round now being played next Saturday. My question is: should everyone start their final round again from the 1st tee? Or should everyone start again from where they finished today?

If not, they would have to be able to ensure that all the pin positions are the same as today's. Edited August 25 by peasy23 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Adam Scott throwing it back to Lytham in 2012. Unfortunately for him it's the last 5 holes rather than the previous 67. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 A record 9 Europeans in the final 30 next week, Aberg, McIlroy, Lowry, Hovland, MacIntyre, Fleetwood, Straka, Pavon and Rai. Bob will be starting 8 shots back on -2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhopping Adventures Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 9 Europeans next week is tremendous. Not sure I'm into the starting score thing but suppose it's better than Scheffler having it wrapped up already 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I'm into the starting score thing but suppose it's better than Scheffler having it wrapped up already It's not perfect, but they've tinkered with it since the year Vijay won it and had f**ked off home with most of the players still on the course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH33 Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 @Inanimate Carbon Rod I'd suggest a round at Clober and join there. It's not pretentious and greens are immaculate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Clober, im just wary cos its over the bridge a bit and one of my issues with current place is getting back for school pick up etc, whereas Kilmacolm/Erskine/Gleddoch are just a wee drive away and i can take my son to play a few holes after school some times. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question is: should everyone start their final round again from the 1st tee? Or should everyone start again from where they finished today? That's not in the Rules of Golf as such - these decisions are delegated to the local Match Committee or equivalent. I imagine your club will have some sort of protocol with multi-round events detailing what happens due to weather cancellations, eg identified alternative dates, failing which competition/qualification based on 3/2/1/rounds, failing which etc, etc. (It's obviously easier with single-round competitions where there's the opportunity to reschedule later in the season.) There's no other reasonable solution if play is abandoned for the day. In addition to Peasy's point re pin positions, what about those who were mid-way through a hole when the klaxon (or equivalent) went off abandoning play? Would all those players have marked where their ball was at that point, and be able to return to that exact spot in a week's time to complete their round with their markers still in situ? That's extremely unlikely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
