If, in the opinion of the TD, lightning, excessive rain or hazardous conditions exist that make it impractical or dangerous to continue play, the tournament would be suspended. The signal to suspend play shall be made in the same fashion as the signal to start, but (3) short car horn blasts. These blasts should be repeated at least once within a minute time-frame and the TD should make any necessary efforts to ensure all groups could hear the signal. Players shall immediately stop play and mark the lie of each member of the group. A natural object is sufficient to mark the approximate lie from which the player shall resume play. Players shall then return to the clubhouse/tournament central. Players shall resume play from their approximate lies as established when the round was halted. The approximate lie is determined by a majority of the group.
Jay Svitko Nov 3, 2017Because of the limited amount of daylight after the switch to Daylight Savings, the tournament may be reduced to 2 rounds instead of 3 if a lightning delay (usually 30 mins)is neccessary.
Jay Svitko Nov 3, 2017As it stands now, playing from 9am (Start of 1st round) to 4:33pm (Sunset), 54 holes will take you approx. 8 mins per hole with no breaks. Playing time will be at a premium.
