What Would Happen If.....

In relation to my other topic entitled 'Organising Club Games!', where I asked if other people have problems organising their individual golf club games.

Well I have a few more questions about these games.

1)  If we don't play our game by the specified cut-off date are we both disqualified?

 

2)  I try to contact the other person but get no reply, the game doesn't take place.  So again, are we both disqualified?

 

3)  I contact the other person but we don't play the game, are we both disqualified?

 

4)  I contact the other person but they don't turn up on the day, do I go through?

 

And one final question, on the draw sheet for my singles game somebody has written 'WP' and put an arrow pointing to my name, what does this mean?

I've noticed this 'WP' on a few other names on the same draw sheet but I've no idea what it means, can you help?

We have to play our games by the end of this month and I haven't tried to contact anybody yet, but nobody has tried to contact me either!

I would of thought that as long as you inform the club or comp secretary of your efforts to compete prior to the match, then if your opponent fails to turn up then you will receive a buy to the next round.

WP, Haven't got the foggiest???

I would go and see the competition secretary and explain your concerns, I'm sure you will get all the answers you require.

In most proper clubs the irst named player has to contact the second named player, it is his responsibility and failure to do this results in awarding the metch to his opponent. WP could mean Waiting Payment, but that is only a guess.

Thanks for the answers.

I'm at the club on Saturday playing in a competition so I'll be able to see what is going on.

John, that sounds sensible to me, the first named player having to contact the other player, but I'm not sure if it's how it works at my club!

The 'WP' still has me guessing.
