1 THE SCORECARD Local Rules for SBR Golf Course Golf courses generally have Local Rules established to supplement the Rules of Golf. Ours are usually but not always posted in the Pro Shop. In response to several questions from new members, our Rules & Handicap Chairman, Hank Eidenmuller, undertook a review of the Local Rules. Here they are: OUT OF BOUNDS: Homeowners property lines, walls, fences, streets and parking lots shall define out of bounds when white stakes are not present. GROUND UNDER REPAIR: All newly sodded areas, landscaped areas, areas outlined by white lines, staked trees, and embedded stones in the turf area are ground under repair from which play is prohibited. If a player s ball lies within the area or if it interferes with the player s stance or his intended swing, the player must take relief under rule Dung and anthills are to be treated as ground under repair. Rule 25-1 applies. EMBEDDED BALL: Through the green, a ball that is embedded in its own pitch mark in the ground, other than sand, may be lifted without penalty, cleaned and dropped as near as possible to where it lay but not nearer the hole. Through the green is the whole area of the course except a) the teeing ground and the putting green of the hole being played; and b) all hazards. STONES IN BUNKERS are movable obstructions. Rule 24-1 applies. If the ball moves while removing the stones, it must be replaced, without penalty, providing the movement is directly attributed to the removal of the stones. FRENCH DRAINS are immovable obstructions. Rule 24-2 applies. The player may lift the ball without penalty, within one club length of and not nearer the hole than the nearest point of relief. GREENSIDE IRRIGATION HEADS are immovable obstructions. If a ball lies off the putting green and the irrigation head is within two club-lengths of the putting green and is within two club-lengths of the ball and intervenes on the line of play to the hole, the player may take relief as follows: The ball may be lifted and dropped at the nearest point to where the ball lay that a) is not nearer the hole and b) avoids intervention and c) is not in a hazard or on the putting green. The ball may be cleaned when lifted. AERATION HOLES: Through the green a ball that comes to rest in or on an aeration hole or slice may be lifted without penalty, cleaned and dropped as near as possible to the spot where it lay but not nearer the hole. The ball when dropped must first strike a part of the course through the green. On the putting green, a ball that comes to rest in or on an aeration hole or slice may be placed at the nearest spot not nearer the hole that avoids the situation. If a player has reason to believe he is entitled to relief from this condition, Decision 20-1/0.7 applies.

2 Nov 10 Couples Golf Event An exciting addition to SBRMGA activities for the remainder of this year and the early part of next is our participation in the Pima Cup. This is a round robin golf event which rotates among six host clubs in the area. The participating clubs are: SaddleBrooke Ranch, Saddlebrooke HOA1, El Conquistador, The Gallery (North), Oro Valley Country Club, and La Paloma. Each club sends eight golfers to participate in the event. Individual members of each club can participate in one or more of the six events. The basic purposes of the Pima Cup are to promote fellowship, to make new friends and to meet golfers from other clubs in the Tucson area. Golfers of all ages and from different levels of ability are encouraged to participate. There will be a trophy event at the end of the playing year. The first event will be at The Gallery (North) on November 12. The competition is known to be very friendly and the hospitality worth the effort. The format is two ballbetter ball with a win scoring one point and a tie scoring ½ point for an 18-point total. Each club is required to send a team of two A players, two B players, two C players, and two D players (based on the players indices) to each competition. Each participating club is also encouraged to send a different set of players to each venue. George Kramer has agreed to be the SBRMGA s Team Coordinator for the Pima Cup. For more information, contact George at membership@sbrmga.org. Our fourth annual Couples Golf Event will be held on Sunday, November 10. This event is intended for SBR residents with AGA handicaps. It differs from the April Community Golf Event in that it is a competitive golf only event. A dinner will follow at Olive Garden. The field filled up quickly. Planning for next year s fifth annual event will allow for more tee times and a larger restaurant venue.

3 AGA Fall Meeting Tom Kanitz, our AGA Delegate, reports that the AGA Fall Meeting will be held on November 7 at Moon Valley Country Club. Pace of Play is the theme. Contact Tom Kanitz for more details at tpkanitz@aol.com. Golf Rules During the Battle of Britain (courtesy of Mick Anna) During the Battle of Britain early in the Second World War, German aircraft from Norway would fly on missions to northern England; because of the icy weather conditions, barrels of their guns had a small dab of wax to protect them. As they crossed the coast, the Germans would clear the guns by firing a few rounds at the golf courses. Naturally, golfers were urged by their clubs to take cover. But some British golf clubs adopted unusual rules for unusual circumstances. Take a look at the set of rules written by one club secretary below. Talk about stiff upper lips: you have to hand it to the Brits when it comes to golf! PAGE 3

4 Nominations for the 2014 Board The Nominations Committee has recommended candidates for the Board. Voting will take place before and at the December 5 Annual Membership Lunch Meeting. The candidates are the following: Paul Lapotosky for President, Jack Gressingh for Vice-President, Chuck Meier for Treasurer, Frank Sciannella for Weekly Events Chairman, Tony Seales for Sponsorship Chairman, Brian Svedberg for Membership Chairman, Hank Eidenmuller for Rules & Handicap Chairman, Doug Streuber for Communications Chairman, Chuck Baker for Special Events Chairman, and Tim McCauley for Secretary. Pace of Play Our past and current Rules & Handicap Chairmen have compiled a series of "tips" for playing "Ready Golf". If we follow these guidelines we will greatly improve our pace of play. The Scorecard will include one or more useful pace of play tip each month. Please read each one and be sure that it is incorporated into your regular routine on the course. Pace of play really boils down to one thing: common courtesy to the other members of the group that you are playing with and to the players stacking up behind your group. Tips of the Month If the cart is ready to be moved as soon as you get in (whether or not you are the driver), hold on to your clubs while the cart is moving. Clean them and replace head covers the next time you get out of the cart. October 9 Board Meeting Our bimonthly SBRMGA Board Meeting was held at La Hacienda on October 9. The two hour meeting included Mike Jahaske talking about our reverse shotgun starts in November, recommendations from the Nominations Committee, committee reports, and other items reported here in The Scorecard. Minutes for the meeting are available on our website after Member Login under the Communications tab as Latest Board Meeting Minutes. Paul Lapotosky, our President, has planned the December Annual Lunch Meeting for Thursday, December 5 at La Hacienda following golf play. The lunch is FREE for members. Also, don t record scores at the green. Drive to the next tee as quickly as possible and record scores at the first opportunity (usually while waiting for the group in front of you). PAGE 4
