Rules of the Round:

Preferred Lies - Model Local Rule E-3

"When any part of a player's ball touches part of the general area cut to fairway height or less [or identify a specific area such as 'on the fairway of the 6th hole'], the player may take free relief once by placing the original ball or another ball in and playing it from this relief area:

  • Reference Point: Spot of the original ball.
  • Size of Relief Area Measured from Reference Point: [Specify size of relief area, such as one club-length, one scorecard length or 6 inches] from the reference point, but with these limits:
  • Limits on Location of Relief Area:
    • Must not be nearer the hole than the reference point, and
    • Must be in the general area.

In proceeding under this Local Rule, the player must choose a spot to place the ball and use the procedures for replacing a ball under Rules 14.2b(2) and 14.2e. But, for the purposes of applying Rule 14.2e, the player has only chosen the spot on which to place the ball once the ball has been set down, and the player has let the ball go with the intent for that ball to be in play. After a ball has been placed and is in play under this Local Rule, if the player then proceeds under another Rule that provides relief, this Local Rule may be used again.

Penalty for Playing Ball from a Wrong Place in Breach of Local Rule: General Penalty Under Rule 14.7a."

General Area Definition

The area of the course that covers all of the course except for the other four defined areas:

  1. the teeing area the player must play from in starting the hole they are playing,
  2. all penalty areas,
  3. all bunkers, and
  4. the putting green of the hole the player is playing.


Round 8: No Skins Play

26th April:

As the Nth Turramurra Foursomes Championship was run today, the Skins round was cancelled.

 

NT Foursomes Championship
[C Grade Foursomes Champions]
C Grade Foursomes Champions

The Nth Turramurra competition was the foursomes championship with three divisions:

The 30cm preferred lies local rule was in place through the green and the 30cm rake and place local rule was in place for the bunkers.

We had three pairs in the Foursomes: two in B grade and one in C grade.

Our C Grade pair used cunning conservative tactics and discussed each shot to be played. This strategy proved to be effective as they went on the take the trophy by 7 strokes.

The pairs in B grade should take note as they rarely discussed shots. Friends of DavidM may find this hard to believe.

The A grade winners scored 70, B grade 83 and the C grade winners (Craig and SteveB) scored 87.

Interesting Shots:

SteveB had a creative shot on the 3rd fairway where the ball landed 3 metres behind him. This was not a problem as the pair went on to bogey the hole after a long putt by Craig.

[The Playing Group]
The Playing Group
Conditions:

The sky looked threatening often but we remained dry for the whole round.

The course fairways and greens were in fine condition and the local rule for bunkers allowed us to rake and place.

Rules of the Round:

16.1 Abnormal Course Conditions (Including Immovable Obstructions)

16.1/1 – Relief from Abnormal Course Condition May Result in Better or Worse Conditions

If a player receives a better lie, area of intended swing or line of play in taking relief under Rule 16.1, this is the player’s good fortune. There is nothing in Rule 16.1 that requires them to maintain identical conditions after relief is taken.

For example, in taking relief from a sprinkler head (immovable obstruction) in the rough, the player’s nearest point of complete relief or relief area may be located in the fairway. If this results in the player being able to drop a ball in the fairway, this is allowed.

In some situations, the conditions may be less advantageous to the player after relief is taken as compared with the conditions before relief is taken, such as when the nearest point of complete relief or relief area is in an area of rocks.



Round 7: PeterD Picks Up Nine

12th March:
[Trophy Presentation]
Trophy Presentation

Our low handicapper, PeterD, has finally lived up to his potential and dominated the skins. To boot, he celebrates with 36 points and a $30 prize for for 3rd place in A grade.

The course was in great condition and the weather was warm and dry.

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.
