THE Pakenham Golf Club has once again seen rain interfere with its Club Championships with the first round of the 2011 chapter being called off at 12.30pm on Saturday.
All completed rounds will not be counted due to 28mm falling in just 10 hours.
The first round will now be played this Saturday 26 November with rounds two and three taking place on Saturday 3 and Saturday 10 December respectively. Tee times will remain the same for this week.
The same scenario presented itself last year with some competitive early morning scores not counting due to poor conditions.
