SECOND-ROUND PLAY ABANDONED IN ENGLISH WOMEN'S SENIOR CHAMPIONSHIP
NEWS RELEASE ISSUED BY ENGLAND GOLF
The second qualifying round at the English women’s senior championship at Tidworth Garrison, Wiltshire, was abandoned this morning, before play began, because of high winds and torrential rain.
Several holes were already flooded, despite the best efforts of the green staff and volunteers, and the weather forecast was for worsening conditions.
The soggy ground conditions caused the championship coreboard to become unstable and decorative flower pots were blown across the course.
Championship manager Emma Lowe commented: “We just can’t work fast enough to keep the course open. It’s sad because this is a course which drains really well but the rain is just coming down too heavily.”
The draw for tomorrow’s championship match-play and the second flight knockout was made on the basis of yesterday’s first round scores. Players who do not qualify for either will be able to enter the consolation Stableford which also will take place tomorrow. Play starts at 8am and spectators are welcome.
