November 19 Grand Lake Golf Report

More about the new rules

• Measuring in taking relief: The golfer’s relief area will be measured by using the longest club in his/her bag (other than a putter) to measure one club-length or two club-lengths, depending on the situation, providing a consistent process for golfers to establish his/her relief area
• Removing the penalty for a double hit:  The penalty stroke for accidentally striking the ball more than once in the course of a stroke has been removed. Golfers will simply count the one stroke they made to strike the ball
• Balls Lost or Out of Bounds: Alternative to Stroke and Distance:  A new Local Rule will now be available in January 2019, permitting committees to allow golfers the option to drop the ball in the vicinity of where the ball is lost or out of bounds (including the nearest fairway area), under a two-stroke penalty. It addresses concerns raised at the club level about the negative impact on pace of play when a player is required to go back under stroke and distance. The Local Rule is not intended for higher levels of play, such as professional or elite level competitions

Golf Joke

Two women were talking the other day over tea. “Did I tell you that my husband has taken up golf?” the first lady asked her friend. “No, as a matter of fact, you didn’t,” her friend replied, “How’s he doing?” “Evidently, very well,” said the first lady. “He’s only played three times, but his friends tell me that he’s already throwing his clubs as far as men who’ve been playing the game for years!”
