Leicestershire & RutlandGolf Union
After several discussions and an on course meeting yesterday between the L&RGU and representatives of Market Harborough Golf Club, it has been decided to postpone the Finals tomorrow. It is unlikely that the three prestigious tournaments will be played for this year.
The decision to postpone was based on the following;
The prolonged wet weather which has closed several clubs in the county.
The greenstaff have not been able to access the course with machinery to undertake essential work to present the course ready for tournament golf.
The forecast for heavy prolonged rain later today and overnight.
While the the course is open today with restrictions for social golf it was agreed that was not acceptable for the finals.
We are all very disappointed that it has not been possible to get the finals played after two attempts, we would like to thank Market Harborough GC and staff for their efforts in trying to get the course ready to play the finals.
A decision as to when the finals will be played will be made next week.
