Discovery Bay Women's Golf Club

While we all gathered to play, Mother Nature decided to send down some more of that liquid gold.   So the regular play-day was cancelled since most of the ladies didn’t believe the weather would clear.   Eight positive thinkers went out at 9:30 and got in a round – three cheers for the hearty golfers!

We had 23 ladies play on Tuesday.  Here are the results.

We had a few ties yesterday.  There was a tie for closest to the pin, which I’ve never seen. The tie for low net was broken on the back nine, which was still a tie, so it had to be broken on the last six holes.   The low putts tie had to be broken on the back nine.   Crazy day!

Congrats to all the winners.

We had really terrific weather, sunny, no wind, and the course wasn’t too wet.  It was cart path only, so we all got our prescribed 10,000 steps in!

The game was two best ball.  We had several threesomes and one twosome, so the blind draw calculating for the second best ball was a little time consuming.

Here are the results:

First Place, Guest Flight, Score 139

Susan Leeper

Debbie Ruiz

Conchita Christensen

First Place, Member Flight, Score 130

Cathy Fancey

Patty Uyeno

Ladies:

Your Tournament Committee has asked me to cover the Rules’ situations below.

Hole #2. In compliance with the new 2019 directives from the USGA our Club decided to mark the penalty area , water, with red stakes.  This allows a player to make a lateral drop, two club lengths from where the ball last crossed the penalty area no closer to the pin.  Your ball  MUST CROSS the penalty area and then go bak into the water for you to drop on the green side.  If your ball just hits the rocks or the pilings around the bunker and bounces back into the water it has NOT crossed the penalty area.  In such a case you will have to hit again from where you last played your ball, or drop a ball inline with the pin and where it crossed the penalty area as far back as you like but  NOT green side.  All options incur a one stroke penalty.  If you incorrectly drop a ball green side you may be disqualified!

Cold hands, warm hearts.  It has been cold lately, and for those players with warm hearts but cold hands it is permissible to use a hand warmer to unfreeze your digits, however, do NOT allow your warmer to come into contact with your golf balls.  A hand warmer is classified as an “artificial device” and they not permitted to be used.  Keep your ball warmer in one pocket and your golf balls in the other pocket.

Hole 17.  I am still in discussions with Jon about this hole’s markings but currently the only change to this hole is having a “drop area”.  If your ball goes into the penalty area, water, in front of the tee box you may use the drop area for your next shot and take a one stroke penalty.  Nothing else has changed on this hole.  If you make a shot from for example the green side bunkers, the cart part, or from the green and your ball rolls over the pilings into the water currently your only option is to play again from where you made your last stroke and take a one stroke penalty.  No lateral drops close to the pilings or margin of the penalty area are allowed.

I hope this helps you.

Hilary
