TWO DAYS GONE ... AND NOBODY HAS COMPLETED TWO ROUNDS

                             Even the elevated greens at Sueno Pines have excess surface water

NOT A NICE WEEKEND FOR WINTER HOLIDAYMAKERS IN SOUTHERN TURKEY NOR THE GOLFERS AT SUENO PINES

No player has completed two rounds after two very wet days of the Sueno Pines Classic

at Belek, Turkey.

The scheduled 54-hole tournament is due to finish on Monday when even more rain is forecast.
The organisers will be hoping to salvage a two-round tournament out of the bad weather disruptions but that needs the rain to stop and the greens to dry out.
One Scot who might not mind if the tourament is washed out altogether is David Law. He had
an uncharacteristic round of 12-over-par 84 after reaching the turn in 45 blows.
Bad enough for the pro golfers but just imagine if you had gone off for a winter holiday in southern Turkey to find that the rain had followed you there from the UK!
