The handout with the Rules Summary and Sample Scorecards is now posted in the Rules Section on our Documents page.
While you're there, check out a couple YouTube videos on some of the most common situations you will encounter in Match Play and Stroke Play. During our clinic we had several questions and opportunities to apply these. Get acquainted with all your options so you know when Rules Can Be Your Friend...(or Not).
Invite a partner from another club and register your team at the Pro Shop. If you'd like to play but don't know someone to invite, talk to Carla Lowry. She can help you out. There are limited slots for LGA participants.
Deadline to register and pay is April 8. No refunds after April 15.

In case you missed the article from David Mauldin in the January Club newsletter, here is important information about revisions to the Berry Creek local rules.
*****
Please make note of the following changes to our local rules:
· The flower bed on #12 is marked within the hazard, and players are no longer allowed relief without penalty. Your options are to play the ball as it lies, or take relief according to the rules of golf.
· Stones in bunkers may no longer be removed.
· Players may now play off of, or stand on (with extreme caution) the rubber pond liner on holes #8 & 9.
· We have removed previously noted local rules that are duplications of those covered in the Rules of Golf.
· As always, if there is any doubt as to a rule or procedure, the player may play two balls and receive a ruling following play.
The Awards Brunch on Saturday, December 4, was a day to recognize and honor so many members for their achievements and contributions to the LGA. Congratulations to all the winners and to all who participated making 2010 a terrific golf season.

Golf Committee Report....
In an effort to preserve the condition of the course, the Board of Governors has approved a policy to suspend all golf on Mondays beginning May 24th. The greens reconstruction requires full access to the greens and fairways by the project contractor. The practice putting green will also be completely closed for renovation. The suspension of Monday play will be in effect through the reconstruction period of time or until further notice.
The superintendent and his staff will be working to complete several projects as the greens are being reconstructed. In addition, the fairways will be watered thoroughly on Mondays. Suspending all play will allow the course time to recover from regular play.
The Committee appreciates full adherence to the policy. If you have questions or concerns regarding the suspension, please contact Andrew Capps or any member of the Golf Committee. The Golf Committee meets on the first Wednesday of every month at 5:30 p.m. General Membership comments/concerns are addressed at each meeting.
The Golf Committee will monitor the suspension policy with the continued use of a marshal and through general membership reports. |
