Image
After the members’ draw on Friday afternoon, 26 members—both men and ladies—gathered on the practice green for a light-hearted but competitive putting competition. Spirits were high, and friendly banter filled the air as each participant took their turn. It quickly became clear that a few had brought their A-game, with putts dropping from all angles.

Tree Root Rule Change

Image
Members please be aware that our local rule regarding tree roots is not approved by Golf NSW and as such we need to change the wording to the following. EXPOSED TREE ROOTS IN THE FAIRWAY If a player's ball is in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots that are in a part of the general area cut to fairway height or less or in the rough within two club-lengths of the edge of the fairway, the tree roots are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.  Interference does not exist if the tree roots only interfere with the player's stance. Penalty for Playing Ball from a Wrong Place in Breach of Local Rule: General Penalty Under Rule 14.7a   Andrew Robb Manager, Rules, Handicapping & Course Rating
