A reservation point is reasonable when the golfer could play but opts to cancel.
Courses are only closed when play may damage the course. The two most obvious are frost and grounds too wet from rain. The courses are not closed for lightning or storms. The starter and ambassador at Truman/Roosevelt were advising golfers about the tornado watch as today's storm approached. But they did not close the course.
