Course in top condition

06 May, 2009 09:22 AM
What can I say the course is in top condition, job well done John and your helpers, it's a pleasure to play on.

Let's get to our winner's. 18 - hole - Fay Thomas and Kay Weeks with 41pts. R/up - Ann Cassidy and Jenni Daly with 39pts. On a C/Back from 3 others teams. 9 - hole went to Mona Agustin and Di Dawes. Ballsweep - Lucky Draw - Pam Matthews.

Rule of the Week - 5. May a player putt with one hand while holding the flagstick with the other?

Yes, provided the flagstick has been removed from the hole and the ball therefore does not strike it.

If the ball were to strike the flagstick, a breach of Rule 17-3a would occur - see Decision 17-1/5.

In the Bunker.

Play it as it lays Bill and Ralph, both of equal ability, decide to have a round together and "play it as it lays" on all shots.

Both hit their tee shots on the par-5 No.1 hole down the middle and about 260.

They drive up for the second shot, and the Bill hits his shot down the middle for an easy approach.

But Ralph slices his over the trees and it ends up in the cart path of the adjoining hole. "Guess I get a free drop from the cart path," he says.

"Oh no," says Bill, "We agreed. Play it as it lays."

So Ralph drives Bill up to his ball in front of the green, drops him off and drives over to his ball on the cart path.

Bill watches in amusement as sparks shower down from the practice swings of his opponent, then, in amazement as a perfectly struck shot lands on the green and roles to within 3 ft. of the pin.

Ralph drives back to the green. Bill says, "Great shot back there! What club did you use?" Ralph responds, "Your six iron."

See you at the 19th Annette.
