A Note from your President:

February, the shortest month of the year which is packed with a ton of outdoor activities in the Phoenix Metro area.  Our prime tourist season, which means crowded roads and high green fees.Don't worry, take advantage of your membership and come play with us.  We have some great courses lined up at very reasonable prices.

Members who participated in all of the dates in January, saved over 90.00 in green fees. So come out take advantage of your membership and meet some great women playing golf.  Can't beat that having fun and saving money!

Golf Tip of the Week!

Rules of Golf

Did you know...

 
2-5/3 Player Lifts Ball Before Holing Out; Opponent Then Picks Up His Ball Claiming Player Loses Hole

Q:
In match play, A's ball was resting against the flagstick but it was not holed. A, believing he had holed out, lifted his ball without first marking its position. In doing so, A incurred a penalty stroke under Rule 20-1. Since A was not aware that he had incurred a penalty, he did not inform B. B, who had not witnessed A's actions, played his next stroke. A's actions were then brought to the attention of B and he picked up his ball, claiming that A's lifting of his ball entailed a penalty of loss of hole. A and B agreed to continue the match and refer B's claim to the Committee later. How should the Committee have ruled?

 

A:
The Committee should have ruled that B won the hole. B's claim was valid since he notified his opponent that he was making a claim, of the facts that gave rise to the claim (A's lifting of the ball) and that he wanted a ruling (A and B agreed to refer B's claim to the Committee). Although the penalty for A's lifting of the ball without first marking its position is one stroke, he lost the hole for giving wrong information (Rule 9-2b) when he failed to inform B before he (B) played his next stroke that he (A) had incurred the penalty stroke.
