Depends on the rules/common practice at the Club.

But, surely Comp times are comp only and any gaps on the sheet are fair game....

It's been really wet here rather than cold, today was fairly mild but I cancelled my round this morning because it was heavy rain on a waterlogged course.

The weather is massively different north to south right now. I drove home from work back down to Hampshire and went through all the seasons in a couple of hundred miles.
