Round 21: DavidM makes his move
19th October:
![[Trophy Presentation]](photos/2024/presentation_24oct19a.jpg "Trophy Presentation")
With only two more rounds left to play for the year DavidM has one hand firmly on the cup after another winning round. He took the lead on the third hole and none of the other three players could catch him.
The Nth Turramurra competition was single stableford and two ball aggregate stableford with 106 players. The 30cm Preferred Lies local rule was in place in the fairways and bunkers.
The A grade winner scored 41 points and the B grade winner 44 points. The 2B aggregate winners combined for 83 points.

- Sujay's first two shots on the par 5 8th were so good that he finished up only 5m short of the green.
Conditions:
The weather was very pleasant but with dark clouds starting to form as we finished our round. The new greens are still showing the effects of the recent coring.
Rules of the Round:
None Today

Rules of the Round:

Interesting Shots:
DavidM made his birdie on 16 with a putt from off the green. SteveH hit an innocuous chip out down the 17th fairway that the rest of the group all saw rolling down the middle but, when we got down to where we thought it went, it couldn't be found!
Conditions:
Warm with some breeze. The greens were freshly cored and consequently very bumpy.
No trophy to hold up today so the winner is making do with a beer.
Rules of the Round:

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.
