So I had a 4-ball match Saturday, in a season long match play tourney. We

got 4 holes in before the course was closed for lightning. One team was 2 up after those 4 holes. Match has been rescheduled for this Saturday. One team wants to restart the match where we left off, the other team wants to start over. What say The Lounge? Is there anything official in the rules that addresses this situation?

Resume where it left after last completed hole. Without knowing anything

Rule 5.7c seems to support this

You wouldn't have restarted if it was the next day, right?

think there've been a couple instances over the yrs @ The Open Championship

Do you know what years?**

Seems like there was one maybe 10ish years ago? I'll dig around a bit
JoesterVT • 04/24/23 11:34 AM ET
Okay, now you're potentially implying added variables
Nova Hokie 95 • 04/24/23 11:32 AM ET
The latter. The Pro Shop blew the horn for lightning in the area. Hadn't

Got it. No reason to restart IMHO, then**

You pick up from where the match was stopped.**

go this afternoon and play 6 holes and tell your opponents they are dormy**
bigbadbird • 04/24/23 11:02 AM ET
Start over, but you start with a 2 shot lead. **
HokieGator • 04/24/23 10:51 AM ET
How would you re-start at the 5th hole if the course isn't empty?

Let the effin' marshall sort it out...**
BG Hokie • 04/24/23 11:20 AM ET
Just play the 1st 4 holes and pick up the match on the 5th tee**
Brown Water • 04/24/23 10:51 AM ET
This is a good idea ... EXCEPT ...
vt90 • 04/24/23 10:56 AM ET
Might let them win the first 4 just to piss them off
Brown Water • 04/24/23 12:29 PM ET
I would think you would continue where you left off. Those 4 holes counted**
vt90 • 04/24/23 10:33 AM ET
agree 100% - play on from 5**
