Men’s NRDGA Pennant Update.
Round 2 scheduled for 24th June has been cancelled. Below is the email from the NRDGA Captain. The decision was made at midnight on Wednesday.
I started the following at 5.00pm tonight,Thursday. Yamba had 21mm in the previous 2 hours, 7 hours later now 143 mm. Maclean maybe not as bad and Grafton 60mm. Courses north of Ballina have missed the rain fortunately.
I have called off the 2nd round of the pennant. We have a few courses still closed, a few open with tee up. and even if they open a few without carts or are heavily restricted. We do not have enough courses with availability to reschedule matches
I notice we have had locally our annual average rainfall in less than 5 months. 1533mm or 61 inches.
We will now go to the Eisenhower Cup format on Sunday the 1st June. I am working on a draw and this will be circulated this week.
It has been suggested we look at moving the pennant, we have been down this track in the past but we always were trying for after September each year. With Club Championships, other major events and course renovations it never was a goer. The suggestion is we move it to a bit later, possibly July. In my almost 40years involvement in golf in the Northern Rivers we have had wet, and floods but I can only remember a couple being washed out and now 3 in 4 years
