There were a dozen people (including a mystery guest) who were watching the BOM radar with a view to being to be able to get their hands on a chance to boost their Championship standing as the competition year rapidly draws to its close. At first, it looked as if the forecasts might not be particularly accurate, but appearances proved to be deceiving, and the rain kept coming. The river kept rising, and eventually, the banks were not high enough and the muddy waters started to spread out onto the adjacent flats. Of course, the majority of the course is located on those flats, and by Thursday afternoon, the course was declared to be unplayable, and it was closed.
Still, some held out hopes that there could be play, but, by the middle of Friday, it was clear that all hope was gone, and it was decided that the Fred Kitson should be postponed for a week. Some good weather might allow the course to drain and allow some maintenance. However, there is talk of another pulse of rain later in the week, so, hopefully, we don’t go through the same dramas next week. The calendar is getting a bit on the thin side for further postponements.
