But equally it's not the 59 other players faults that the HotShots are attending an event that has had it's date moved . . Also there are two previous Open Winners that are not able to attend at present because of the format yet that's just the way it is . .

I agree that it's unfortunate that the Hot Shots would miss out by this recent date change but does that warrant the Open being moved everytime a small number of people can't attend?
