Round 6: PeterD Wins At Last

23rd March:
[Trophy Presentation]
Trophy Presentation

PeterD had a fine 3 over round to take the trophy for the first time since March 2023 with 9 skins just ahead of Sujay with 8. This may calm his criticism of the high handicappers for a while.

Sujay impressed James (and us) with a 7 over round scoring 46 points to win the NT stableford and 2BBB for the second time in a fortnight.

Sujay now leads the skins championship on 27 with Mark second on 17.

The Nth Turramurra competition was single stableford and 2BBB stableford with 103 players. The 30cm Preferred Lies local rule was in place for bunkers and full relief from bare patches on Fairways.

The A grade winner was Sujay with 46 points and the B grade winner scored 41 points. Sujay and PeterH again won the 2BBB with 48 points.

Conditions:

The weather warmed up after a cool start and the play flowed along nicely with no holdups.

Rules of the Round:

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.



Round 5: Mark Masters the 16th

9th March:
[Trophy Presentation]
Trophy Presentation

The "active" founding members are continuing in good form. This time it is Mark taking the trophy with 10 skins. Mark's spectacular victory with the birdie on the 16th strangely inspired some superfluous musical intervention from DavidM.

Sujay has continued the dominance of the Skins team at Nth Turramurra with another B-grade win. His score included a series of four holes (2 to 5) adding up to 2 under par.

For the first time in 2024, we had a full field of 8 starters in the Skins round.

The Nth Turramurra competition was single stableford and 2BBB stableford with 111 players. The 30cm Preferred Lies local rule was in place for bunkers and full relief from bare patches on Fairways.

The A grade winner scored 39 points and the B grade winner was Sujay with 40 points.

Sujay and PeterH won the 2BBB with 45 points.

Conditions:

The weather was warm with little wind and the play flowed along at good pace.

Rules of the Round:

Definition: Loose Impediment

Any unattached natural object such as:

  • Stones, loose grass, leaves, branches and sticks,
  • Dead animals and animal waste,
  • Worms, insects and similar animals that can be removed easily, and the mounds or webs they build (such as worm casts and ant hills), and
  • Clumps of compacted soil (including aeration plugs).

Such natural objects are not loose if they are:

  • Attached or growing,
  • Solidly embedded in the ground (that is, cannot be picked out easily), or
  • Sticking to the ball.

 

Based on this definition, the large broken tree branch on the 17th fairway is a loose impediment. Therefore, if it interferes with your swing, the branch or part of the branch may be (re)moved with no penalty as long as the ball is not caused to move.




Round 4: Summer Cup

24th February:
[Trophy Presentation]
Trophy Presentation

Stroke play returned to Royal North with the playing of the Summer Cup. Unfortunately the weather refused to join in the seasonal theme with persistent misty drizzle until clearing for the last few holes.

All players struggled to put a score together and the skins scoring was decided by a SteveH par on the 13th hole after a string of squared holes.

As mentioned, the format was stroke with the overall winner taking 72 strokes and the net winner having 60 strokes. The bunkers were 30cm preferred lies and full relief was granted from the now quite rare bare patches on the fairways.

Stokeplay Individual Scores
[Name (hcap) Gross Net Skins]:
Birdies:

None.

Longest drive (13th hole):

DavidM with a tee shot of 238m.

Nearest to the pin (15th):

Sujay with a tee shot to 14 pds.

Interesting Shots:

Perhaps we should have been playing cricket, there were several attractive centuries made.

Conditions:

Misty drizzle clearing for the last few holes.

Rules of the Round:

A skins etiquette question, when all players in a group have wiped a hole should it be announced as "squared with zero" or just "wiped"?

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.
