WATER IN BUNKERS REVISITED

Today, there is alot of water in bunkers, hence the re-run:

With all the rain we have received, the question of what to do if your ball landed in a bunker that has water in it has been asked. To paraphrase The Rules of Golf:

Rule 25-1. Abnormal Ground Conditions:

(a) Without penalty, the ball may be dropped at the nearest point of relief, in the bunker and no nearer the hole. If complete relief is impossible, as near as possible to the spot where the ball lay, but not nearer the hole, the ball may be dropped in the bunker where maximum available relief is possible. This could result in the possiblilty of the player and/or the ball still being in the water.

(b) Under penalty of one stroke, the ball may be dropped outside the bunker, keeping the point where the ball lay directly between the hole and the spot on which the ball is dropped. There is no limit to how far behind the bunker the ball may be dropped.

Hope none of need this information, but just in case...

JUNE GOLF LESSON SPECIALS

SOME IGNORANT DUDE

Ladies,  I pulled the Closes to the Hole marker from hole #6.  Sue Hill's name was the first name on the marker and the second one was "Brady Schow".  Sue played in the first group out this morning and we don't know when that nincompoop went out.  I don't know where Sue's ball was (we searched to see if we could find a hole), but this guy put the marker about 4 feet from the pin.  Not knowing where Sue's was and how many ladies may have been closer, I felt the only fair thing to do was scrap that hole for this week.

Sue, I'm sorry this had to happen on the day you were the first on the green, but we will make it up to you in some other way.

I talked to Sean about it so that he would be aware of it.  This happens at least a couple of times a year.  If you see anyone not on our league messing with the markers during league play,  please ask them leave them alone.

Thanks for your help and understanding...

RINGER BOOK

Hi Ladies,  The RINGER book will be at the course for league play tomorrow.  Please take the time after your round to see if you improved on any hole.  If you do, please mark that better score in the box below the original score.

As the season progresses and your scores continue to improve, erase the higher score and write in the improved score. 

There will be a nice prize at the end of the season for the best Ringer score!

Good Luck!!!

FUN STUFF!

Hi Ladies,  Sharon Phillips sent this to me.  Enjoy...Thanks Sharon!!!
