It is with regret, due to the extended closure of the course, that the Gents Committee has taken a decision to cancel the winter knockout competitions for this season. However, given the number of players that have already submitted cards for the winter league, the committee also decided to continue this competition, albeit with a smaller number of counting cards. Accordingly, given that the course should be open for play this weekend, the winter league resumes with effect from Sunday 27th February. We have also consulted with the greenkeepers and winter greens will remain in play for the next few weeks. This allows us to extend the winter season, for the purposes of the winter league only, until close of play on Saturday 19th March. Assuming that the course remains open for play from now on, this reduces the winter season to 7 weeks, therefore the winter league will be decided on the best 6 counting cards submitted.
Should play again be interrupted by the weather, the number of counting cards for the winter league will be one less that the number of full weeks that the course has been open and available for play.
