LOVELAND — In anticipation of rain on Tuesday, the Class 5A girls golf tournament is moving to a shotgun start at 8 a.m. for the second day of competition.
The 8 a.m. start time at the Olde Course is, of course, dependent on the condition of the course in the morning. If overnight rain leaves it unplayable, there is still a possibility the second round may not be played. That decision will be made around 6:30 a.m. on Tuesday. CHSAANow.com will post the latest information as it becomes available.
In the event the course is unplayable, the first round scores will stand as final.
However, course officials are confident that the Olde Course can hold the water from overnight rain, which is also expected.
With the planned 8 a.m. shotgun start, players should be ready to play at 7:40 a.m., as they need to be transported to their holes via golf cart. The range opens at 6 a.m.
If the course is unplayable, players and teams should still come to the Olde Course as individual and team awards will still be handed out on Tuesday.
Should the second round begin, but not be completed, the first round results would hold up as final.
The 4A tournament remains as-scheduled with its 8:30 a.m. start, using the regular format. Weather, too, could be an issue there on Tuesday.
