CWG calling for some mix of snow, ice, sleet, and freezing rain on Saturday.

Any chance of ice forming during play is too high a chance.

Accordingly, we will postpone GYROscope #1: Shoot the Gap (Ice Bowl Fundraiser #5) until Saturday, April 3, 2021.

If you cannot make the new date, we will provide you with a refund, but if I were you, I would err on the side of staying registered for now, as I don't anticipate demand for this event to be lower in April than it is in February.

I just sent out the following email to all players and waitlisters:

All;

I am monitoring the weather closely. Currently, the National Weather Service is calling for us to receive 6-8" of snow between now and Saturday. While I am confident the roads will be treated and plowed, my concerns are:

Parking. I doubt the parking area will be plowed, and if it is, the grass areas where we stick cars will not be cleared.

Safety. The course has lots of elevation, and slick conditions might make it dangerous to play.

*Lost discs. If we get 6" of snow dumped on us, play will slow to a crawl as we look for every shot, even with ribbons, chalk, or lights.

I will have a decision about whether to postpone the event no later than Thursday at noon, when the precipitation picture will be clearer. I currently am leaning toward postponing the event until Saturday, March 3, but again: I want to carefully monitor conditions over the next 48 hours before making a decision. If we do reschedule, refunds will be available for players who are unable to attend on the new date.

Cheers,

Sully
