A World Upside Down
In the middle of March the world started shutting down in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Half of our clubs reported for the March competition. And only one or two are expected to report in April.
As a consequence the NDAL has revised the our league rules and stipulations to keep open both the March and April league games and courses until such time that the world sets itself back aright.
This reporting is late. And by our abridged rules, these results are also incomplete. As a courtesy to those who managed to play in March, we are pleased and proud to present the results of their play in March, 2020.

We will not be publishing new courses, beyond April, until the world in general is no longer required to stay at home and maintain social distances that make organized sports impossible to play. In the mean time, for small groups that have the capability to play, we will make available courses from our historical catalog.
