A Note from your President:

Happy New Year to the Phoenix Metro Chapter!  I hope your holidays were a time of joy, happiness and relaxation.  

As January is upon us, Arizona has given us great golf weather! You can't beat 77 degrees for the first day of the New Year. I am looking forward to a great year and meeting a lot of new woman, who share an interest in golfing.  

We have a great calendar of events scheduled and keep checking as more events, leagues and social gatherings are added to the schedule.  I know with all of us working together, 2012 will be better than ever.

I'll see you at Club West on the 7th,


Stacey

 


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.
