<html><head><style type='text/css'>p { margin: 0; }</style></head><body><div style='font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000'>my input is this: if a foursome wants to get out of the rain so be it ,maybe if i was shooting a record round I may have considered finishing but alas I am just a monkey golf player and never expect to even get my dues back.In the spirit of competition let five holes be a complete round in bad weather and let the fools press on if they want to risk it and they are made of better stock than me this is not the PGA Assosiation if the round was complete then it was complete THE COURSE DID NOT AFTERALL BLOW THE HORN TO CANCELL PLAY

<DIV dir=ltr>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.

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.<BR><BR>

<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: times new roman,new york,times,serif; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">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.<BR><BR>Way to go Dave C ... nice round and congratulations on taking flight 1.<BR><BR><BR>Regards,<BR><BR>Ananth<BR><BR>

<DIV>Hello,<BR><BR>Unfortunately there was a bit of controversy last night about<BR>how to deal with people walking off the course due to <BR>inclement weather. <BR><BR>It seems at least three groups, including the teams in the running, <BR>walked off the course due to lighting. Rightly so! I guess this <BR>is the second week in a row that teams walked off the course <BR>due to rain.... Again rightly so!!! <BR><BR>I was inclined to redo yesterday's matches since it did not seem<BR>fair to teams in the running to not complete their matches,<BR>due to justifiable reasons. But, it turns out a member of the first<BR>place team, Dave <FONT size=+1>Christiansen<FONT size=+1> sho<FONT size=+1>t a +8<FONT size=+1> (39) to win the <BR><FONT size=+1><FONT size=+1><FONT size=+1>first</FONT> flight<FONT size=+1><FONT size=+1>, </FONT>playing thr<FONT size=+1>ough</FONT> the li<FONT size=+1>ght<FONT size=+1>ing<FONT size=+1>.
