[NEAC GolfLeague] Controversy

[Dave Christiansen]

No one should have to get zeros... The only way I see getting zeros is if
you loose straight up or turn in an incomplete scorecard.  No points should
be awarded for incomplete scorecards.  I'm sure that if you asked one of
the starters to get out and complete a couple of holes that could not be
completed due to lightening and rain during one of our Monday league play
they would accommodate you.  If you don't care enough about then take the
zeros.
