Linda,
Lulu and Annie were playing against each other in Singles
Match Play. At the end of hole #5, play was suspended due to severe weather and
rescheduled for the next morning. Do we resume play on Hole #6 or do we have to
start the match all over on Hole #1?
Should this have been discussed among the players before the
match began?
Thanks, we are having a difference of opinion.
Lulu from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Dear Lulu,
Regardless of whether play resumes later in the day or on
some future day, you must pick up the match where you left off. In the
situation you describe, play will begin on Hole #6 when you return the
following morning. The results from the first five holes stand. So if Lulu was
2-up after five holes, she will still be 2-up when the two ladies begin play on
the 6th hole [Rule 6-8d].
Linda
