What a Fiasco!!

Well what a fiasco our match against Shortlands today turned out to be!!!

With rain steadily falling our ladies set out to overturn a 5 - 2 deficit from our earlier match at Shortlands. But as the match progressed the rain got heavier causing some of the greens to get a little waterlogged. So what we would say!! However with Team West Malling leading in 6 of the 7 matches the Shortlands captain decided that the course was unplayable and the match was halted.

Many of the ladies were keen to continue including many of the Shortlands team but eventually Chris Corke was called in to give an opinion. The club sent out green keepers to squeegee the greens and Chris asked that the match continue. However the rain also continued and as fast as the greens were cleared of water they filled up again and eventually the match was abandoned. We all returned to the clubhouse rather wet and more than a little fed up.

We have been allowed a weeks extension to get this match re-played and it will now go ahead next Wednesday 5th June with a 2pm start.

I am already praying for good weather!!!!!!!!!!!!
