Rules Clinic:

Prior to FUN DAY play, Ginger Dieter provided a Rules Clinic. Thank you Ginger! Here are some highlights of the rules discussed.

 

Golf etiquette rules:

• Never talk or make noise during another player's swing or putt.
• When other players tee off, you should stand to the side of the teeing area, staying still and out of their peripheral vision.
• When your playing partners putt, you should stand in front of them or behind them to avoid their peripheral vision, staying out of their line of the putt.
• Repair your ball marks on greens and replace or fill divots on fairways.
• To help maintain pace of play, start planning your shot before you get to your golf ball and always be ready to play when it’s your turn.
• Do not talk to another player's ball.
• Do not stand on the line of another player's putt.
• If you or someone in your group hits a shot that could potentially hit another golfer, always yell "Fore!"

         

USGA Golf rules:

• Tee off from the Teeing Area, which is between the tee markers and 2 club lengths behind.
• If the golf ball falls off the tee before making your swing no penalty is incurred and you may place the ball back.
• Anytime you “whiff” the ball ( swing and a miss), it counts as a stroke.
• Play the ball as it lies.
• The maximum amount of clubs you can have in your bag on the course is 14.
• You must start and finish the hole with the same ball. Except when hitting the ball in a water hazard or losing it. You can replace a damaged ball, but advise your partners you are doing so. You may change balls between holes.
• Never ground your club while playing out of the bunker.
• If you think your shot has gone out-of-bounds or may be lost, to save time, you may hit a “provisional ball.” You must announce you are hitting a “provisional ball.” If you find your first ball, you simply pick up your provisional ball with no penalty. If you cannot find your first ball within the allotted 3 minutes or it is found out- of- bounds, you can play the provisional, but you’ll need to add a 1 stroke penalty.
• You may take free relief from abnormal course conditions (such as a cart path), but when taking relief, you must take complete relief.
• If your club accidentally hits the ball more than once, there has only been one stroke and there is no penalty.

Supplement your water intake with sports drinks containing electrolytes when you are sweating for several hours.

 

A is for Apply Sunscreen

Protect your skin by using sunscreen and re-apply every two hours.
