Please read the following. 1) If you can't make the Saturday allocated for club Champs, it's up to you to make contact with your opponent to make arrangements before the next round. Failure to do this WILL result in a default. 2) If you have made a genuine attempt to contact opponent without success, please ring golf club on the allocated day. Failure to do this will result in default as well. Club Champs are the top competitions for the year, and in an ideal world it would be great to play them all on the allocated dates, we know this is not possible, so if we can all make an effort to play these on the date, or before the next round will see a few big club days.
