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><span><br></span></div><div><br></div> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif;

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">. So, it would not be<br>
<font size="+1">fair to Dave to throw away <font size="+1">such a good round.<br>
</font></font></font></font><br>
<font size="+1">S<font size="+1">ince this</font><font size="+1"> </font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font><font size="+1"><font size="+1"><font size="+1"><font size="+1"><font size="+1"><font size="+1"><font size="+1"><font size="+1"><font size="+1"><font size="+1">inclement weather has

suggest we do <br>
the followin<font size="+1">g<font size="+1">:<br>
<font size="+1"><br>
<font size="+1">1) If you

the <font size="+1">quota<font size="+1">s</font>

<font size="+1">
as normal.<br>
</font><br>
</font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font>2)
I <font size="+1">you did not complete ye<font size="+1">s<font size="+1">ter<font size="+1">day's
round, your q<font size="+1">uota<font size="+1">s</font><br>
<font size="+1"> stay the same.</font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font><br>
<br>
I don't think the standing will change that much one way or another,<br>
but Bob will verify that. The bottom line is flight 1 will end and <br>
we will move on to flight 2... <br>
<br>
To avoid future controversy, If the majority of the teams finish
the <br>
round stands. <br>
<br>
I am very hopeful two thing will not happen again... One, using <br>
vulgar language, such as asshole, in the clubhouse and two the <br>
harassing emails, private and public, about people's quotas <br>
and them not showing up. This is friendly a league so lets <br>
keep it that way!<br>
<br>
