[NEAC GolfLeague] Controversy

[Bob Born]

Like Ananth, I'm willing to take zeros if that's in the best interest of the league.  I'll compete, I'll try to improve, I'll joke about quotas, but I'll have fun. 

This league has run for years.  Sometimes with better decisions than others, sometimes with mistakes I've made, sometimes with mistakes by others, but always with the intention to do what's in the best interest of the league.  We've grown it to a point where we have 28 men playing the glorious game of golf - socially.  Men - it's for fun.  We won't always agree, but we need to respect one another.  I'm truly embarrassed for how we've treated one another.

Thanks Steve. Let me say at the outset that I was one of those who walked off on both days. In fairness to the others in my group, let me also say that on both days I was the one who made the suggestion that we withdraw. So if anyone wants to call me an asshole for that, they're welcome to. I'm also quite willing to leave the league if that makes the heroic types feel better <grin>! Lastly, I have no problems with being given zero points for leaving the course, regardless of where I was in the match. As you said, I treat this as a friendly outing, not in the expectation of winning anything.

Way to go Dave C ... nice round and congratulations on taking flight 1.


Regards,

Ananth

Hello,

Unfortunately there was a bit of  controversy last night about
how to deal with people walking off the course due to 
inclement weather. 

It seems at least three groups, including the teams in the running, 
walked off the course due to lighting. Rightly so! I guess this 
is the second week in a row that teams walked off the course 
due to rain.... Again rightly so!!! 

I was inclined to redo yesterday's matches since it did not seem
fair to teams in the running to not complete their matches,
due to justifiable reasons. But, it turns out a member of the first
place team, Dave Christiansenshot a +8(39) to win the 
first flight, playing through the lighting. So, it would not be
fair to Dave to throw away such a good round.

Since thisinclement weather has happened twoweeks in a 
rowand I want to silence this controversy.I suggest we do 
the following:

1) If you completed yesterday's round, the quotas apply
    as normal.
 
2) I you did not complete yesterday's round, your quotas
    stay the same.

I don't think the standing will change that much one way or another,
but Bob will verify that. The bottom line is flight 1 will end and 
we will move on to flight 2... 

To avoid future  controversy, If the majority of the teams finish
    the 
round stands. 

I am very hopeful two thing will not happen again... One, using 
vulgar language, such as asshole, in the clubhouse and two the 
harassing emails, private and public, about people's quotas 
and them not showing up. This is friendly a league so lets 
keep it that way!

steved.
