Round 10: SteveB Wins the Count-Back
23rd May:
A classic group of four today allowing SteveB to calculate the skins progress in real time. He announced that there were 3 possible winners with a few holes to go.
Holes 15 to 17 were squared and that gave us another dramatic ending on the 18th. PeterH managed to sink the par putt to snap up the last 4 skins taking the result to a count-back.
SteveB then won the round with a superior hole win count: three to two. Mark will be amazed that PeterH can lose on count-back.
The North Turramurra competition was Stableford with the A, B and C grade winners scoring 35, 41 and 38 points respectively. The Four-Ball Aggregate winners scored 75 points.
Conditions of play: "30 cm preferred lies thru the green [in the general area] and bunkers GUR".

Occasional showers, some sun and enough wind to make the round interesting. The greens were in good condition and the fairways were very wet in places. The bunkers were out of play.

Round 8: Stix Strikes on the 15th
25th April:
Five determined competitors today, one group of four and Sujay in a non-skins group.
SteveH and DavidM played well and managed to square many holes. Steve made his 2 skins with the birdie on the second but David finished with zero.
PeterH picked up 3 with a par on the 5th and this was followed by a series of 9 squared holes until Mark made par on the index 18 fifteenth hole for the 10 skins and the trophy.
The 18th hole is often seen as an opportunity to win some skins, however, all five of us struggled until PeterH sank a putt of longer than 20 metres for a single point and 3 more skins. The length of the putt had increased in the post match gathering.
Sujay reported a 247 metre drive on the 13th ... just off the fairway, so no glory for him.
The North Turramurra competition was Stableford with the A, B and C grade winners scoring 37, 41 and 39 points respectively. The 2BBB winners scored 47 points.
Conditions of play: "30 cm preferred on fairways and 30 cm preferred lies in bunkers (rake and place)".

Interesting Shots:
The shot of the day was by SteveH when he chipped in from 50m for a birdie. This is becoming a regular birdie hole for Steve.

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.
