Round 7: Last Stroke Thriller

11th April:
[Trophy Presentation]
Trophy-less Presentation

With only three players the skins were calculated as we played.

On the 18th tee there were 3 skins on offer and anyone could win. In the end, it came down to the last putt with SteveB's bogey enough to win the hole and the day.

The North Turramurra competition was Stableford with the A, B and C grade winners scoring 39, 40 and 38 points respectively. There was also a team aggregate (best 3 or 4) with the winners scoring 109 points.

Conditions of play: "30 cm preferred on fairways and 30 cm preferred lies in bunkers (rake and place)".

Round 6: Controversial Win to PeterH

28th March:

Trophy Presentation

This round followed a happy booking outcome with the skins players just a single group apart. It was another stroke play competition providing the usual tension.

The skins ended in a controversial way with PeterH taking 5 skins after a par on the 18th hole. SteveB had a lengthy putt to square the 18th and, with PeterH hovering in the gallery, the putt missed.

The Nth Turramurra competition was the Autumn Cup Strokeplay event with 105 players.

Conditions of play:
"30 cm preferred lies thru the green and 30 cm preferred lies in bunkers (rake and place)".

Some bunkers contained significant amounts of water causing problems with taking free relief.

The A grade winner scored -1 70 strokes, B grade winner -1 79 and the C grade winner scored Even 89 strokes.

Conditions:

The fairways were damp in spots after the recent heavy rain. Weather cool dry and breezy at the start followed by a pleasant day.

Rules of the Round:

Rule 7.4 Ball Accidentally Moved in Trying to Find or Identify It

There is no penalty if the player’s ball is accidentally moved by the player, opponent or anyone else while trying to find or identify it. But if the player causes the ball to move before they start to search for the ball, the player gets one penalty stroke under Rule 9.4b.

Under this Rule, “accidentally” includes when the ball is moved by anyone taking reasonable actions to find the ball that were likely to reveal the ball’s location by moving it (such as by sweeping feet through long grass or shaking a tree).

In these situations, the ball must be replaced on its original spot (which if not known must be estimated) (see Rule 14.2). In doing so:

  • If the ball was on, under or against any immovable obstruction, integral object, boundary object or growing or attached natural object, the ball must be replaced on its original spot on, under or against such object (see Rule 14.2c).
  • If the ball was covered by sand, the original lie must be re-created and the ball must be replaced in that lie (see Rule 14.2d(1)). But the player may leave a small part of the ball visible when doing so.

Rule 16.1 c. Relief for Ball in Bunker

If a player’s ball is in a bunker and there is interference by an abnormal course condition on the course, the player may take either free relief under (1) or penalty relief under (2):

(1) Free Relief: Playing from Bunker. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b, except that:

- The nearest point of complete relief and the relief area must be in the bunker.
- If there is no such nearest point of complete relief in the bunker, the player may still take this relief by using the point of maximum available relief in the bunker as the reference point.

(2) Penalty Relief: Playing from Outside Bunker (Back-on-the-Line Relief).

For one penalty stroke, the player may drop the original ball or another ball (see Rule 14.3) outside that bunker, keeping the spot of the original ball between the hole and the spot where the ball is dropped (with no limit on how far back the ball may be dropped). The spot on the line where the ball first touches the ground when dropped creates a relief area that is one club-length in any direction from that point, but with these limits:

Limits on Location of Relief Area:

- Must not be nearer the hole than the spot of the original ball, and
- May be in any area of the course except the same bunker, but
- Must be in the same area of the course that the ball first touched when dropped.



Round 5: A professional win to SteveH

14th March:
[Trophy Presentation]
Trophy Presentation

Craig, Mark, PeterH and Joe started on the 11th; DavidM, SteveH, Grant and Andrew on the 1st. The groups finished a couple of hours apart so the skins were calculated in the evening.

Post round, PeterH was upbeat with a big lead in provisional skins. This all came crashing down once the scores from David and SteveH arrived.

SteveH is showing good form since moving to full-time golf and went on to win 8 skins by the time he made birdie on the 10th hole. David then mopped up 3 skins leaving Craig and PeterH with 2 each.

The Nth Turramurra competition was single stableford and Fourball Aggregate (best of 3) with 129 players.

The A grade winner scored 39 points, B grade winner 38 and the C grade winner scored 38. SteveH was third in B grade on count-back.

The fourball aggregate winners (the Roy & Adrian group) scored 110 points.

Interesting Shots:

Mark and PeterH have re-started sledging to spice up the skins competition.

PeterH and Joe had equal points after 17 holes and decided to go head to head for the final hole. As Craig predicted, it ended badly as both wiped the hole.

Conditions:

the weather was fine and sunny and the fairways were in good shape despite the recent rain.

Rules of the Round:

None today.

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.
