2 R & A RULES UPDATE If a player accidently moves their ball while searching for it there is no longer a penalty. The ball will always be replaced, even if the exact spot is not known. The original spot will simply need to be estimated. One reason for this change is the belief that the Rules should help the player find his or her ball (within a reasonable length of time) and not penalise them when they do. As searches often take place in long grass, bushes and leaves there is an inherent risk of the ball moving. And yet, both in match or stroke play, opponents or other players do not have the risk of penalty if the ball accidentally moves - now it is fairer and more consistent. This new principle under Rule 14.2 of always replacing a ball whenever it has been lifted or moved under a Rule that requires it to be replaced will eliminate any confusion around whether the original spot was known or not. When estimating the spot, the player needs to include any imperfections, such as replacing the ball under thick grass/ against other growing or fixed things. Under the new Rules, a player may mark and lift a ball to identify it, to see if it is unfit for play, or to check whether they are entitled to relief, without first needing to announce this intention to another person or give that person a chance to observe the process. If however this was done for no good reason, the player would incur a penalty of one stroke. The ball must be dropped within and come to rest within the specific relief area set by the Rule under which you are taking relief and will be within 1 or 2 club lengths of the reference point. No re-drop if it accidentally hits a person or object after hitting the ground but before coming to rest in the relief area. Dropped a second time if it comes to rest outside the relief area. If this happens again it is placed where it first touched the ground on the second. It is good practice to mark the reference point but it is not a penalty if you fail to do so. Also worth noting that under the new Rules, a ball that is simply out of shape (not cut or cracked) is not a reason on its own to substitute a ball.

Barry Ireland Seniors Captain My main objective within this, my final entry is to encourage all members to attend the AGM on 22 nd November. Your interest in, and support for your club, would be appreciated by those who represent you throughout the year. Of course, many of you will be attending at least to receive trophies won throughout the year. Please also just take a minute to consider joining the committee so some fresh ideas are brought to the table on how we can improve things in the future don t be one of those who complains without being prepared to help do something about it! Please check out the notices about the AGM on the locker room notice boards & on the website. Be sure to notify Alan Hemsley of anything you wish to bring up in Any Other Business. This year has seen a lot of industry from the committee, some for the good and perhaps some failings but, importantly, change & improvement over a broad spectrum of matters. The committee have worked hard to produce a continued programme of competition & events too many to mention here, plus an attempt to improve liaison & coordination with the hotel management. There are changes in structure & constitution taking place, amendments and additions to rules & handicaps rearing over the next 18 months. There are also developments with greens matters and potential course changes looming that we need to stay abreast of. Your help would be appreciated so join the committee! With the committee in mind, I would like to express my thanks to them for supporting me with my efforts to keep the wheels turning, and occasionally make a difference. I would also take the opportunity of wishing our new Captain, Graham Knights, every success with his endeavours for Please give him your best support.
