Play Day Results- Feb 15, 2024

Valentine Bingo!

Yes it’s true, we had a play day today. 12 ladies participated and it was carts at 90 degrees. Thanks for coming out, and it turned out to be a very nice day. The course was actually pretty dry, even after rain yesterday. Rough is continuing to be cut. 

So for next week we have 9 ladies signed up, game is T’s and F’s. The forecast is certainly not positive, but it looks like next Thursday will be okay; and there may be breaks in this weather where the course is allowed to dry out during the next 7 days.  So sign up and come play, those already signed up are: Aafedt, Bellingham, Bunnell, Ladd, Mize, Moro, Shipilov, Smith S., Veatch.

So Results today, the game was Valentine Bingo. Some of us are better at this than others…..

Rory’s Costly Penalty

Everyone:

Please see the video below of Rory at Pebble Beach this weekend and then read my explanation below.  I hope this helps you.

If you want to use the “Back on the Line” relief option when permitted under a Rule you must be careful where you drop your ball. As you can see in the video it cost Rory a two stroke penalty.

When using this option a player may drop a ball behind the spot of the original ball as far back as they like, keeping the spot of the original ball between the hole and the spot where the ball is dropped. When dropped the ball must land on that line and the ball cannot go out of the relief area which is one club length in any direction from where the ball landed on that line. 

Rory found the line but proceeded to drop his ball in the relief area straight away rather than dropping it on the line first.  As he played from a “Wrong place” he incurred a two stroke penalty. Ouch.

You can find an easy to understand diagram of the relief options for this Rule on page 262 of the Official Guide to the Rules of Golf.  

Also as reminder, thanks to Cathy H, if you haven’t already, download the Rules of Golf app from USGA.org to your mobile device. It’s very easy to use and easier than carrying the heavy Rules book with you!  Also they have regular updates to the Rules so you won’t be behind the times like Rory….
