Round 5: PeterH Wins by Two
28th February:
![[Trophy Presentation]](photos/2026/presentation_26feb28a.jpg "Trophy Presentation")
The weather was similar to the last skins round with some light drizzle for the warmup and the early holes and a dry time for the remainder of the round. The course was good condition despite the rain.
The starter, Sean, showed up in his cart on the 16th tee. It seemed that he was keen for us to make it to the first tee crossover in good time. Having this mini-gallery led to four ordinary tee shots and then four double bogies.
SteveB and PeterH had close stableford scores throughout the round with a single point difference at the end. The skins calculations were left until the end of the round with PeterH winning by two skins.
After some challenges during the round, DavidM brightened up with a birdie on the par three 5th.
SteveH had some fine tee shots and was in the run for a triple crown early on, but could not pick up the skins.
The Nth Turramurra competition was single stableford and 2BBB with 111 players.
The A grade winner scored 42 points (off a handicap of 3!), B grade winner 41 and the C grade winner scored 40. SteveB was second in C grade and PeterH was third in B grade,
The 2BBB winners scored 48 points.
Stableford Individual Scores
[Name (hcap) Points Skins]:
- PeterH (17) 39 8 skins
- SteveB (22) 38 6 skins
- DavidM (16) 29 4 skins
- SteveH (17) 27 0 skins
- Remaining 0 skins
2BBB Scores:
- DavidM & PeterH 42
- SteveH & SteveB 39
Birdies:
5th (par 3) DavidM.
Longest drive (13th hole):
SteveH with a tee shot of 231m.
Nearest to the pin (15th):
SteveH with a tee shot to 3 SHS.
Interesting Shots:
The PeterH wayward approach shot on the 3rd made plenty of noise as it took a tour via the bridge, path, path again, the side fence and then a slow roll down the slope to settle on the path short of the left bunker.
SteveB was disappointed that PeterD missed seeing him as the only player getting 2 shots on a hole.
Conditions:
light showers early followed by a pleasant overcast day.
Rules of the Round:
Local Rule: 30 cm Preferred lies thru the green.
This rule required some clarification after a difference of view between DavidM and PeterH. When the rule is for "thru the green", the ball may be moved from rough to fairway if desired.
Note that the rule should read Preferred lies "in the general area" which means the same thing as "thru the green".
General Area Definition
The area of the course that covers all of the course except for the other four defined areas:
(1) the teeing area the player must play from in starting the hole they are playing,
(2) all penalty areas,
(3) all bunkers, and
(4) the putting green of the hole the player is playing.
The general area includes:
All teeing locations on the course other than the teeing area, and
All wrong greens.
Round 3: Sujay moves further ahead
14th February:
![[Trophy Presentation]](photos/2026/presentation_26feb14a.jpg "Trophy Presentation")
We had some light drizzle for the warmup and the early holes today. It quickly dried up to provide a pleasant skins round.
The strokeplay round caused trouble for some but not for Sujay as he snapped up 8 skins to take a second trophy in succession. And, SteveH showed great foresight by taking a provisional presentation photo before Sujay departed.
David played with a cart and helpfully located any wayward tee shot. It was no help in finding the multiple out-of-bounds shots.
A par by Mark on the par five 8th was a highlight and the 4 points clinched one skin.
The Nth Turramurra competition was the Summer Cup Strokeplay event with 129 players.
The A grade winner scored 63 net, B grade winner 63 net and the C grade winner scored 64 net.

Sujay with a tee shot to 6 SGS.
Interesting Shots:
Another fascinating shot on the 10th green from Sujay:
After the approach shot airmailed the green, Sujay chipped (launched)
a worm burner rocket towards the flag.
The shot violently struck the DavidM ball and sent it 10 metres off the
green as Sujay's ball settled nicely near the flag.
DavidM provided a comprehensive slow motion replay of events to confirm which ball remained on the green.
Conditions:
light showers early followed by a pleasant overcast day.
Rules of the Round:
No rules today.
Round 2: Sujay claims the crown
31st January:
![[Trophy Presentation]](photos/2026/presentation_26jan31a.jpg "Trophy Presentation")
A small but hardy group of skins players took to the course in warm, humid conditions.
The golf from some in the group matched the conditions and was hot. Particularly Sujay who finished strongly with a great pitch and birdie into his last hole of the day.
The third hole was another highlight with all players in the lead group securing a par.
The Nth Turramurra competition was single stableford and 2BBB with 126 players.
The A grade winner scored 39 points, B grade winner 42 and the C grade winner scored 38.
The 2BBB winners scored 50 points.

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.
