So I need to know how upset I should be. Our club championship "was" 4 weeks ago its a 2 round over 2 day event. We played Saturday and I did ok I shot 76 with a snowman and have a 2 shot lead. Sunday comes and we get rained out which was completely understandable it was a monsoon. But the last 3 weeks the club has not shown they care at all. So much that it has gotten to the point where the owner has essentially told us in the hunt to figure it out ourselves. The greenskeeper is a joke we know even if we do play we know the course will be a disaster. They've aerated the greens, haven't mowed, and we know nothing will be done about leaves (pretty big deal when lost balls are same as OB). 

So talking with those of us that are still trying to play (a whopping 4 of us) we're trying to find a solution and I don't like any of them. 

#1 wait it out and pray the course is playable. Aerated greens so it's doubtful (since the greenskeeper doesn't know what he's doing) and unsure if/ when that even happens

#2 go to another course and play the final round

#3 call the tournament after the 1 round

Unfortunately option 3 is looking like what is going to happen which I'm going to be super bummed if that is how I win it. What should I do here and if we do decide to cancel the final round how scummy should I feel?

Not your fault if that's how it goes. The second round is washed out. That's how it'd be in our conference championship, if it was a similar situation.

Trying to find a different solution is admirable, and should remove any stain you feel you deserve (which you do not) in "winning" after only one round.

I mean, I get it, your perspective here. But that's the Rules. Congrats, preemptively, on your win, or even if you play and don't win, on a good first round.

I appreciate it. I'm already getting the asterisk championship chatter I know they're just messing with me but I still want to finish up and push that lead to 8 or so just to put a stamp on it lol

I'm hoping this weekend will be good its only supposed to rain 1 day this week so it should be dryer but they don't even have the back 9 open yet, the high will only be in the 50s, and I'm told they haven't mowed in weeks so if we do play its going to be rough if it does happen. 

Either way I just want the waiting game to be over with.

Well course officially closed the weather has been terrible for weeks so I de facto won the championship. Which is cool because that was one of my goals for the year but still wish we could have fit it in somehow.
