What % of players need to NR for a medal to be cancelled?

[Simbo]

Iv just received my weekly update from hdid, after Saturdays medal Iv gone up .1. Due to horrendous weather conditions I NR'd at the 9th as the greens were filling with water despite only being 2 over par.
There were only 57 people ventured out and of that 26 were NR.

So what the percentage of players to NR. Before the medal gets cancelled??

it doesnt get cancelled becomes reduction only, sounds as if the comittee should of suspended play if it was that bad.

Actually meant to say that, when I left the course the estimated CSS on the computer was saying reduction only. But my mate texted me at night and said css was 72??? Almost all of the scores that were returned were guys that played late afternoon when most if the rain had stopped.

That's unfortunately the joys of the English weather. If it was that bad for you, sounds like the committee should have suspended play.

H'mm.

Just checking motives here.

Did you check the projected CSS before you NR-ed? Was it actually part of your decision making process?

I'd suggest you were prepared for the 0.1 when you NR-ed, had spirits slightly lifted when the projected CSS was R/O and are no a tad disappointed that that didn't happen.

Suspending play might have been an option, but would have certainly caused chaos if the comp was fully subscribed.

As far as NRs affecting validity of comp, they have no more or less effect than any other >3 over buffer scores.

how does he do that from the 9th?

Our 2nd round Club Champs was similar, chucking it down all day, fairways had nowhere to play from that couldnt have been classed as casual water.........had enough by the 9th as had many others, should have been cancelled but enough returned a score and it wasn't. it made for some higher h/caps getting into the last 16 matchplay.....
common sense should prevail when it gets to the point of not golf!

By walking off the 9th Green into the Clubhouse!

Some modern clubs actually don't simply have 9 out and 9 in (or other 'whole course' layout). So the Clubhouse is actually quite close to the 9th Green/10th Tee. Muirfield is even one of them!

I'd pick Simbo's is one of those.

Just checking motives. What you mean by that?

There's nothing sinister going on here I'm merely asking the % of players that need to NR before the committee look at the results and say,wait a minute here almost 50% of entrants have NR'd.

I did phone the pro shop from the 9th, which is roughly 1000 yards from the clubhouse by the way, to see if the competition was still going because from the 9th I can see another 5 holes on the course and I couldn't see another person!! There had been groups walking off around me all morning. The pro shop told me the competition was still going but no-one had feed off for a while. I had been soaked for 9 holes and basically me and my 2 partners had had enough, so no I wasn't bothered about going up .1. Il get it back this week. As you say I was pleased to see the estimated CSS on the computer saying reductions only when I entered my score and yes I was a bit disapointed when I went up .1, but it's only .1, not the end of the world. I'm just asking because I'm pretty sure when NR reach a certain level the medal is reduction only.

Not quite a 2 loops of 9 then huh

Nothing in the UHS about that as far as I can see. Though the circumstances that cause a high percentage of NRs might cause a club to cancel the comp.

basically if 95% NR in a field of more that 10 the CSS is going to be +3 RO regardless of the scores of the other 5%.....but that's about it; comes down to the performance of those who completed the round as Foxy said.

personally I take the view that if it can be played then those completing it deserve the credit; again as someone's mentioned there is a significant degree of variation in our weather at times! however, if there's no path to the hole on any green play should either be suspended, the competition cancelled or the committee out with squeegees!

 

[Simbo]

Committee out with the squeegees! Lol can't see that happening,

Ok lads thanks for that, it just seems the general impression was that if more than half the field NR'd it was reduction only, so thanks for clearing that up.

I agree those that finish deserve credit, but I also think that just because its playable in the afternoon, doesn't mean it was in the morning, almost all the NR's came before 12pm. Harsh! But thats the way the cookie crumbles!
