October 22 Grand Lake Golf Report
Basic Golf rules for beginning golfers
If you want to compete you will need to familiarize with the complete Rules of Golf, as a beginner, however, you can base your play simply on the three core principles which underlie the whole of golf.
1 – Play the ball as you find it after each shot
2 – Play the course as you find it
3 – If circumstances dictate that your are unable to do one of both of the above, work out something which is fair to both players and in the spirit of the game.
While the full set of rules is, of course, much longer than this, ultimately they all revolve around these three principles (These days, they’re available in electronic format for easy reference anywhere). Keep it simple! KISS.
The number one rule of golfing etiquette is to stay on the practice range until you can swing well enough to get the ball into the air. This may sound like basic common sense, and arguably it is, but it’s also really important for the smooth-running of the course. See your local Golf Professional for help with this one.

Golf joke /The Bus Schedule
At a municipal golf course, a foursome approached the tee of the 430-yard, par-4 sixth hole.
The long, straight fairway ran along a road that was fenced on the right.
The green was slightly to the left of the straightaway with another road paralleling the green from which golfers often received heckler calls.
The first golfer teed off with a long ball slice in the direction of the road. The ball went over the fence, bounced 150 yards down the road, where it hit the tire of a moving city bus and was knocked back on to the golf course stopping just 10 yards short of the green.
As they all stood in amazement, a fellow golfer asked, "How on earth did you do that?"
The response came without hesitation, "You have to know the bus schedule.”
