[NEAC GolfLeague] Controversy

[Dave Christiansen]

I hold no ill will on anyone who leaves the course for safety reasons.
 When a decision to leave the course due to safety is made you should also
assume the responsibility of completing the round at a later agreed
time.  *I take issue when a unilateral decision to cancel the whole
week because of
the actions of a few. * In golf, a signed and attested scorecard should far
outweigh an incomplete scorecard.  If you submit an incomplete scorecard it
should be the foursomes responsibility to complete the scorecard at some
agreed upon period prior to the next week or at the tail end of the next
week.  In no way should it impact the whole league.

I also said "You suck as a leader"!  you forgot that.
