Round 10: DavidM has a third win

20th May:
[Presentation 2023May20a]
Today's Winner

PeterD described it as a very pleasant round today. Also it was a single group giving us live skins results on each hole.

Despite persisting with his deteriorating dad jokes, DavidM played well and went on to win 5 holes and take the round with 8 skins.

The Nth Turramurra competition was single stableford, 2BBB Stableford and the relatives cup with 119 players. The 30cm Preferred Lies local rule was in place for fairways and bunkers.

The A grade winner scored 38 points and the B grade winner scored 39 points.
The winning 2BBB score was 47 points.

Rules of the Round:

Rule Clarification 8.1b/6 – When Damage That Is Partially On and Partially Off Putting Green May Be Repaired

If an individual area of damage is both on and off a putting green, the entire area of damage may be repaired.

For example, if a ball mark is partially on and partially off the edge of the putting green, it is unreasonable to allow a player to repair only the portion of damage on the putting green. Therefore, the entire ball mark (both on and off the putting green) may be repaired.

The same applies to other individual areas of damage, such as animal tracks or hoofs marks, or club indentations.

However, if a portion of damage extends off the green and is not identifiable as part of the damage on the green, it may not be repaired if the repair improves the conditions affecting the stroke.

For example, an entire shoe print that starts on the putting green and extends off it may be repaired. However, if one shoe print is on the putting green and another shoe print is off the putting green, only the shoe print on the putting green may be repaired as they are two separate areas of damage.



Round 9: Sujay takes the triple crown

6th May:
[Presentation 2023May06a]
Today's Winner

Today Sujay dominated the skins with some fine ball striking. After a wipe on the starting hole he proceeded to score 9 skins, win the longest drive and the NTP to take the first triple crown of the year.

The Nth Turramurra competition was single stableford and Fourball Stableford Round Aggregate (Best 2) with 126 players. The 30cm Preferred Lies local rule was in place for fairways and bunkers.

The A grade winner scored 38 points and the B grade winner scored 41 points. Sujay took B grade third place with 40 points (losing 2nd place on count-back).
The winning Fourball aggregate (best 2) score was 94 points.

Today's Event
Discussion of the Round

During the card and skins processing after the round, a protracted debate took place. The topic was "How to Calculate a Fourball Aggregate Score".

On one side was PeterD, PeterH and Sujay, on the other was SteveB, SteveH and DavidM. Mark was very wise and remained totally silent during the process.

After much futile talk, the adjudicator (pro shop) was consulted and the win went to the Steves and David as the opposition had not fully read the event sheet. During the debate, there was some confusion / amusement when the word "Nomenclature" was introduced to the discussion.

Interesting Shots:
  1. PeterH struggled to near the 8th green in 4 shots. Things improved from there with a 30 or 40 metre putt tracking relentlessly to the cup for a par.
  2. Sujay made a birdie on the par five 9th after a spectacular approach shot landing a metre from the flag.
  3. Another fine shot by Sujay to take the longest drive on the 13th.
Conditions:

Fine and sunny; pleasant autumn weather.

Rules of the Round:

Sprinkler Head Relief

“If a player has a sprinkler head between their ball and the line to the hole, do they get free relief? The ball isn’t on the green.”

No, not normally. But there is sometimes another way.

Sprinkler heads are immovable obstructions, which are defined as an abnormal course condition in the Rules.

You are allowed free relief, under Rule 16.1, if your ball touches or is on an abnormal course condition, if it physically interferes with the area of intended stance and swing,
or
“only when the ball is on the putting green, an abnormal course condition on or off the putting green intervenes in the line of play”.



Round 8: DavidM Makes it a Double

22nd April:
[Presentation 2023Apr22a]
Trophy Presentation

A consistent round for PeterD, Mark and DavidM with DavidM taking the holes that mattered to retain the trophy. As is very common, PeterD found that consistent two pointers does not win skins.

PeterH had a few problems with the course boundary in the wet weather and with SteveB made a combined total of 8 wiped holes.

The Nth Turramurra competition was single stableford and 2 ball multiplier with 114 players. The 30cm Preferred Lies local rule was in place for fairways and bunkers.

The A grade winner scored 37 points (on count-back) and the B grade winner scored 43 points. Mark took B grade third place with 37 points (also on count-back).
The winning 2 ball multiplier score was 72 points.

Stableford Individual Scores
[Name (hcap) Points Skins]:
2 Ball Multiplier Stableford Scores:
Birdies:

4th: DavidM
14th: Mark.

Longest drive (13th hole):

Sujay with a tee shot of 245m.

Nearest to the pin (15th):

PeterH with a tee shot to 3.53m.

Interesting Shots:
  1. On the 4th, the birdie putt by DavidM traveled a long way and even jumped over a lump in the green before finding the bottom of the cup.
  2. PeterH stole the NTP on the 15th after landing the tee shot well off the green and then rolling down the slope to stop three and a half metres from the flag.
Conditions:

The round started in overcast conditions with rain threatening. We stayed dry until the half-way point and were wet from then on.

Rules of the Round:

Model Local Rule E-5

“When a player’s ball has not been found or is known or virtually certain to be out of bounds, the player may proceed as follows rather than proceeding under stroke and distance.

For two penalty strokes, the player may take relief by dropping the original ball or another ball in this relief area (see Rule 14.3):

Two Estimated Reference Points:

a. Ball Reference Point: The point where the original ball is estimated to have:

  • Come to rest on the course, or
  • Last crossed the edge of the course boundary to go out of bounds.

b. Fairway Reference Point: The point of fairway of the hole being played that is nearest to the ball reference point, but is not nearer the hole than the ball reference point.

For purposes of this Local Rule, “fairway” means any area of grass in the general area that is cut to fairway height or less.

If a ball is estimated to be lost on the course or last crossed the edge of the course boundary short of the fairway, the fairway reference point may be a grass path or a teeing ground for the hole being played cut to fairway height or less.

Size of Relief Area Based on Reference Points: Anywhere between:

  • A line from the hole through the ball reference point (and within two club-lengths to the outside of that line), and
  • A line from the hole through the fairway reference point (and within two club-lengths to the fairway side of that line).

But with these limits:

Limits on Location of Relief Area:

  • Must be in the general area, and
  • Must not be nearer the hole than the ball reference point.

Once the player puts a ball in play under this Local Rule:

  • The original ball that was lost or out of bounds is no longer in play and must not be played.
  • This is true even if the ball is found on the course before the end of the three-minute search time (see Rule 6.3b).

But, the player may not use this option to take relief for the original ball when:

  • That ball is known or virtually certain to have come to rest in a penalty area, or
  • The player has played another ball provisionally under penalty of stroke and distance (see Rule 18.3).

A player may use this option to take relief for a provisional ball that has not been found or is known or virtually certain to be out of bounds.

Penalty for Playing Ball from a Wrong Place in Breach of Local Rule: General Penalty Under Rule 14.7a.”

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.
