  5. A.  Yes.  The General area is all of the course except for the teeing area, theputting green, bunkers and penalty areas.  For your ball to be embedded it MUST be embedded in its own pitch mark and be below the level of the ground.  The ball is not embedded if it is just sitting down into the grass.  Rule 16.3a.

Play Day Results-Nov 1, 2022

Hello,

The day started out sunny but the last 4 holes were wet and miserable.  Only 8 out of the 14 players finished the round.  As a result, we only had one flight that paid out three places.  

The game was Double If.  After completing the round each golfer threw out the two worst scores and deducted the full handicap.

Bonnie Ladd came in third with a game score of 62 and won $8. 

Kay Bargmann was second with a score of 60 and won $17.

Conchita Christensen was the winner with a score of 59 and won $24.

There was only one chip-in.  Deborah Veatch had it on Hole 12!  She won $14.

There was only one birdie.  Frances Shipilov made a bird on Hole 6. Congratulations!

Closest to Pin paid out $4.00 and there were only 4 winners, and no one landed on hole 17 green.

Handicaps 27-36

Hole 14 Sondi Schnee- 59 feet.

Handicaps 0-26  

Hole 2 Kay Bargmann 13’10”
