Happy New Year from the Dannevirke Golf Club
Bryan Burt • January 10, 2019
Evening all,
Happy New Year, I trust you have all had a good festive season, and are ready to hit the fairways, for the love of golf, or the 19th, or the exercise,
Saturday 12th January.
Summer Cup Qualifying, Top 32 to go through to MatchPlay. Please enter Summer Cup into the Competition area if you want to go into the Matchplay draw. First card of the weekend accepted.
Attachment. With the new Rules coming into effect on January 1, we have had a member produce a document to assit members with the changes. I hope many of you will be able to access this attachment.
I also include an explanation that I read in a September publication regarding out of bounds or lost balls.
"Probably the biggest change is in the introduction of a local rule which will allow you to hit your next shot from the vicinity of where it was lost, or where it went out of bounds. Because it is just a local rule, it will almost certainly not be used in professional tournaments or other major events. In other words it will be a rule for you and I, provided your club has chosen to have it in use. How it works. If you hit a tee shot out of bounds or into an area where it could be lost, you don't have to play your third shot from the tee. Instead you will be able to go up to the area where the ball is out of bounds, or where you think the ball was lost. From there you choose the nearest place on the FAIRWAY, not nearer the hole, and drop a ball within two club lengths. Your next shot will be your fourth, but at least you have gained the distance the ball went and you are playing from the fariway, This will be an option many will choose if the ball has at least gone a reasonable distance. If it hasn't you may still opt to play three off the tee "
Note. The 2019 Match Committee is Meeting Tuesday 15th January
. The above local rule is Not in play currently at the Dannevirke Golf Club, . Discussion will be held Tuesday.
Good golfing
