According to golf etiquette, is it possible to cancel a registered golf tournament?
As a rule, there is no reason to cancel participation in a golf tournament. Only an injury or illness entitles a golfer to cancel golf tournaments or to end the tournament prematurely. If a golf tournament is canceled after the start list has been drawn up, N.A. will appear on the results list instead of the score achieved. This means "not competed". If you cancel the game during an ongoing round of golf, no score will appear on the results list, but N.R.. This stands for No-Return, i.e. "did not return to the clubhouse ".
Normally, a tournament is only canceled by the game management if the course is unplayable. This is often and usually only the case after very heavy rainfall and when the golf course cannot absorb the large amount of water and lakes have formed on greens and fairways. Incidentally, according to golf etiquette, a tournament is usually only interrupted during a thunderstorm and then resumed.
