![[Presentation 2023Mar18a]](photos/2023/presentation_23mar18a.jpg "Trophy Presentation")
PeterD is now on a winning run. He has found a way to overcome the unfair advantage given to the high handicappers and has moved to the top of the 2023 leaderboard.
Teething problems with the two-tee start meant that there was a long delay for the first tee as we waited for 11th tee starters to move through.

⚪ SteveB was near to making a birdie on the 14th. The ball hit the flag stick and stopped millimetres from the hole.
⚪ PeterD sunk a 20 metre putt for par on the index one 16th.
Conditions:
The weather was fine and hot.
Rules of the Round:
Rule 19 - Unplayable Ball
If you are in a situation where you don’t want to or don’t think you can play your ball, you always have the option of taking relief under the unplayable ball Rule.
You are the only person who can decide that your ball is unplayable, and this can be done anywhere on the golf course except when your ball lies in a penalty area. If your ball is in a penalty area, your only relief option is to take relief under the penalty area Rule.
When you decide that your ball is unplayable, you have three relief options, all for one penalty stroke.
- Your first option is to go back to the spot of your previous stroke and play again (stroke and distance relief).
- Your second option is to go back as far as you’d like and drop on the line from the hole through the spot where the ball lies (back-on-the-line relief).
- Your third option is to drop anywhere within two club-lengths of where your ball lies, no closer to the hole (lateral relief).
Round 4: A Rare PeterD Win
25th February:
![[Presentation 2023Feb25a]](photos/2023/presentation_23feb25a.jpg "Trophy Presentation")
After 2 rounds with zero skins, PeterD has overcome the much-mentioned low handicap obstacle to take the Skins trophy.
SteveH was looking good in the front 9 and Craig dominated the back 9 but it was the PeterD consistency winning out.
The Nth Turramurra competition was the usual stableford and 2BBB with 126 players. The 30cm Preferred Lies local rule was in place for fairways and all bunkers were GUR.
The A grade winner scored 42 points and the B grade winner scored 46 points. No score available for the 2BBB winners.

When dropping from ground under repair, you must find the nearest point of full relief and drop within one club length. After the drop, the ball must be no closer to the hole. The ball must be dropped from knee-height.
If your stance is still in the ground under repair after you dropped, you must drop again. Your ball is in play after you have dropped and there is no interference from the ground under repair.

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.
