Keno Let's Play Ambrose

The Keno Let’s Play Ambrose is a Two-person Ambrose event aimed at club golfers and encouraging them to enjoy the fun aspects of golf.

Stage 1: Club Qualifying Round

Club Qualifying rounds must be conducted as a Two-person Ambrose event. The leading Men, Women and Mixed pairs at each Club Qualifying event will advance to Stage 2. If a leading pair is unavailable for Stage 2, the next placed pair may replace them.

Each Club is entitled to have one pair in the Men, Women and Mixed categories progress from their club qualifying event to Stage 2.

If a club has more than 21+ pairs in any of the Men, Women and Mixed categories participate at their club qualifying event, they are entitled to have two (2) pairs progress to Stage 2.

Stage 2: Regional Finals

There will be Twelve (12) Regional Finals that will be managed by Golf NSW, and will be held in NSW Metropolitan and Regional areas.

The leading male, female and mixed pair from each Regional Final will advance to the State Final, Stage 3.

Stage 3: State Final at Bonville Golf Resort

The State Final will be conducted over two (2) rounds of 18-holes. Scoring for each round will be based on ranking for that round such that the net winner of the round will receive 1 point, net second-place will receive 2 points, net third-place will receive 3 points and so on. The winner of the State Final will be the pairing with the lowest points across the two rounds.

Covered by Golf NSW is the cost of two (2) rounds of golf, accommodation for three (3) nights, welcome function, the presentation dinner and breakfast on all three (3) mornings. One room at either Bonville Golf Resort / Pacific Bay Resort will be provided to the qualifying pair for the 3 nights. If additional accommodation is required for partners or additional guests, packages may be available.

Venue: Bonville Golf Resort, Coffs Harbour (Sunday 8th – Wednesday 11th December 2024)

Rule 11 - Ball in Motion Accidentally Hits Person, Animal or Object; Deliberate Actions to Affect Ball in Motion

Purpose of Rule:

Rule 11 covers what to do if the player’s ball in motion hits a person, animal, equipment or anything else on the course. When this happens accidentally, there is no penalty and the player normally must accept the result, whether favourable or not, and play the ball from where it comes to rest. Rule 11 also restricts a player from deliberately taking actions to affect where any ball in motion might come to rest.

This Rule applies any time a ball in play is in motion (whether after a stroke or otherwise), except when a ball has been dropped in a relief area and has not yet come to rest. That situation is covered by Rule 14.3.

11.1 Ball in Motion Accidentally Hits Person or Outside Influence

a. No Penalty to Any Player

If a player’s ball in motion accidentally hits any person (including the player) or outside influence:

• There is no penalty to any player.
• This is true even if the ball hits the player, the opponent or any other player or any of their caddies or equipment.

The New Rules of Golf - Effective 1st January 2023

You can find a new rules "infographic" from the R&A and USGA in this PDF file.

The main changes are:

Simplified Back-on-the-Line Relief.

This relief procedure, often used for penalty area and unplayable ball relief, has been simplified so the ball is now dropped on the line, and may roll up to one club-length in any direction without a re-drop being required. This change simplifies what had become a complex procedure that was regularly breached by golfers without them realising they had done so. It represents a return to the essence of the easy-to-apply, pre-2019 process, which was almost entirely free of inaccurate application by golfers at any level of the game.

Handicap on Scorecard.

Golfers will no longer incur a penalty under the Rules of Golf for accidentally recording an incorrect Daily Handicap on their scorecard. This is because the inclusion of the handicap in the official submission of a player’s score will become a responsibility of the Committee. This change is consistent with other penalty reductions, such as reducing the penalty down to only one stroke for playing an incorrectly substituted ball. (Note: In the same way that players are obliged to calculate Stableford points and to include score totals on their scorecard despite the Rules not requiring it, they will also be obliged to record their Daily Handicap when doing so will be helpful to administrators. GA will support any committee that encounters a problem in achieving assistance from golfers with this fundamental obligation.)

Replacing Damaged Clubs.

If your club is damaged during a round (except in cases of abuse) you may replace it, repair it, or continue to use it.
