[metallion]

Participated in the annual Club Championship again this year. For some reason I managed to comfortably make the cut last year.

This year the field was smaller and the championship mgmt started talking about not having a cut at all.

Enter Metallion.

In a lengthy letter I demanded a cut do be established, for the following reasons:

• If I have not played good enough, I do not want to play Sunday
• I do not want to play Sunday with others not having played well enough to contend
• Probably some who have not played well will not want to play Sunday, but I do not think that they can leave the tournament unless they are injured
• Those who have no real chance of winning (such as undersigned) will still have the CUT to play for.

...and so on.

They listened and set the cut to top-whatever and ties.

It turned out I was one shot from making the (54-hole) cut. Even though my 54-hole score was 9 shots better than last year.

I told the mgmt that I gof a chuckle & exactly what I deserved. They agreed.

I played 54 holes. All those small misstakes I could have easily avoided any day. I only needed one shot less.

Imagine how frustrating in one sense.

Still I think promoring that there should be a cut was the right thing to do.

I'll make it next year. And I'll contend!
