Continuation of a match.

[backwoodsman]

A theoretical question.

Two players in a match start from the 1st hole and complete the 18th and are all square. They agree it is too dark to continue so fix a time to resume. But the earliest (or perhaps, only) time they can manage is at a time when, under club rules, 2balls must start on the 10th.

Is it permissible for them to continue from there?

I wouldn't see a problem in that. The Committee has determined that on the day the stipulated round starts at the 10th.

Hmm. A later thought ..... I'm not sure how to allocate any strokes being received.

Am i right in thinking that the RoG only cover "continuation" in as much as saying "committee may extend the stipulated round" etc as under 2-3. And the rest is down to club rules?

Reason for asking is that our regulations of play say ".. if all square ... play shall continue from the tee where the match started..."

As on the card.

Either under club rules or by the players themselves if the club has no set procedure.

Thanks. You would hope, however, for a sensible distribution in the SI, but let's not start another thread on that!
