Christmas Ambrose Competition

21st December:
[Xmas Ambrose]
Skins Ambrose Team

Sujay, Dave and the two Steves joined up to take on the North Turramurra Christmas 4 ball Ambrose competition.

Five birdies and one bogey later we all proudly submitted our first ever card with an under par off the stick score!

Sadly our 4 under (55 net) was only good enough to get us 11th place out of 31. The winning group went 10 under for 48.5 net.

Birdies:

2nd, 4th, 9th, 10th and 16th.

2024 Xmas Round

14th December:
[2024 Players]
The 2024 Playing Group

A good field of 7 for the 2024 NT Christmas Classic. All players impressive in Hawaiian shirts.

Mark missed 10 rounds while touring the world but he managed to join us for Xmas at the final round of the year. He showed that he has not lost any skill with the driver in hand. Unfortunately the one poor drive was on the longest drive hole.

DavidM and SteveH performed well and showed no ill effects after the 54 holes at Castle Cove on The Longest Day challenge.

SteveB finished well on the back nine with 19 points but could not add the NTCC Championship to his Skins success.

PeterH had a dominant front nine with 21 points and despite fading on the later holes, still had enough points to take the win.

The Nth Turramurra competition was the usual stableford and 2BBB with the NTP on the 15th. The A grade winner scored 41 points, B grade winner scored 38 points and the 2BBB winners scored 47 points.

Special Conditions for Xmas Round 2024
  1. All players to wear an Hawaiian shirt.
  2. Catering is now the province of the NT Pro Shop.
  3. The competition is single stableford using the GA daily handicap.
  4. In case of a tie, the standard stableford count-back rules will apply: most points on the back 9, then last 6, then last 3, then hole by hole from the last.
  5. Longest drive on the 13th and NTP on the 15th as usual.
  6. All 14 clubs may be carried and used with the following exceptions:
    1. The first shot on odd numbered holes must be taken with the driver;
    2. The first shot on even numbered holes must be taken with an 8 iron;
    3. Any club may be used from the tee if playing a provisional ball or taking stroke-and-distance relief.

The special rules were generally well received despite some difficulties using a driver on the short par threes.

Round 24: Skins Abandoned

30th November:
[No Skins Play]
Skins Abandoned

With floods and record rainfall in Sydney, most skins players preferred to stay home today.

SteveB and PeterH made it to the course but settled for coffee and a chat rather than take on the soggy fairways.


Round 23: SteveB Takes the Lead

16th November:
[Trophy Presentation]
Trophy Presentation

SteveB had a fine round and finished the last nine with 21 points. Both the Steves won 2 holes with SteveB taking the critical 14th to add 7 skins and take the round.

The Steves took on the Peters in the 2BBB and came out ahead by three.

There is one skins championship round remaining and SteveB is leading DavidM by two and SteveH by six. We are looking forward to an aggressive competition in the last round.

The Nth Turramurra competition was single stableford and two ball best ball stableford with 103 players. The 30cm Preferred Lies local rule was in place in the fairways and bunkers.

The A grade winner scored 39 points and the B grade winner 44 points. The 2BBB winners combined for 50 points.

Interesting Shots:
Conditions:

Fairways were in good condition, Greens on the first 10 still had remnants the coring this year and the remaining greens looked great but needed mowing.
The weather was overcast with a few light showers.

Rules of the Round:
Rule 6.3 Ball Used in Play of Hole

Purpose of Rule: A hole is played as a progression of strokes made from the teeing area to the putting green and into the hole. After teeing off, the player is normally required to play the same ball until the hole is completed. The player gets a penalty for making a stroke at a wrong ball or a substituted ball when substitution is not allowed by the Rules.

a. Holing Out with Same Ball Played from Teeing Area

A player may play any conforming ball when starting a hole from the teeing area and may change balls between two holes.

The player must hole out with the same ball played from the teeing area, except when:

  • That ball is lost or comes to rest out of bounds, or
  • The player substitutes another ball (whether or not allowed to do so).
  • The player should put an identifying mark on the ball to be played (see Rule 7.2).

 

Rule 18.3 Provisional Ball
18.3a/1 – When Player May Play Provisional Ball

When a player is deciding whether they are allowed to play a provisional ball, only the information that is known by the player at that time is considered.

Examples where a provisional ball may be played include when:

  • The original ball might be in a penalty area, but it might also be lost outside a penalty area or be out of bounds.
  • A player believes the original ball came to rest in the general area and it might be lost. If it is later found in a penalty area within the three-minute search time, the player must abandon the provisional ball.

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.
