CURT’S COMMENTS Happy New Year! It has been a great first year for The Metropolitan, from our contributors to our Rules Article by our MAGA Rules Committee to our Publisher/Editor Jim Healey I can not thank each of Curt Rohe you enough for your time in Executive Director putting this endeavor together.

MAGA has received plenty of positive feedback on the newsletter.

Wow, another season came and went, they seem to go by faster and faster each year. This time of year the number one question people ask me is “What do you do in the winter?”

Well, my 2015 season started about 4 months ago by starting to line up our 2015 schedule of events. With essentially three (3) separate schedules to prepare for, it takes time. MAGA Championships, MAGA Amateur Series and USGA Qualifying Rounds take up approximately 46 days in the summer…lot of days and lot of clubs/courses to secure.

Fortunately, MAGA Member Clubs are some of the most supportive clubs in the country! The 2015 schedule is in the newsletter and will be online early next week.

We are working on a couple new projects for 2015 as well, look for more details in the next couple months.

MAGA will once again be a presenting sponsor of the St. Louis Golf Expo, February 13-15 at the St. Charles Convention Center. We give away numerous passes to the show via our Facebook and Twitter pages, be sure to find those and follow along for a chance to pick up some free passes to the show.

Again, Happy New Year and thank you for taking a few minutes to read The Metropolitan.

Decision 13-2/0.5 tells us that “improve” means to (physically) change for the better so that the player gains a potential advantage with respect to the position or lie of his ball, the area of his intended stance or swing, his line of play or a reasonable extension of that line beyond the hole, or the area in which he is to drop or place a ball. It goes on to state that, “merely changing an area protected by Rule 13-2 will not be a breach of Rule 13-2 unless it creates such a potential advantage for the player in his play.”

RULES OF GOLF CORNER Rules Incident from the 2014 U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur In the first round of match play at the 2014 U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship, a player’s ball came to rest under a tree. The player took her stance and slowly drew her club back to ensure that she would not hit the lowest branch of the tree during her backswing. She did this several times, making minor adjustments to her grip, stance and direction of play until she was finally satisfied. She addressed the ball and began her backswing in earnest. At the top of her backswing, her club solidly hit a mid-sized branch and she discontinued her swing. She immediately re-addressed the ball and played it. What is the ruling?

Since no penalty had been incurred, I decided to wait until after the round to discuss it with the player.

As we walked back to the clubhouse, I explained Rule 13-2 - all of the things you can’t improve/allow to be improved, all of the prohibited actions, and all of the exceptions that allow you to ‘get out of jail free.’ She was not aware that continuing her stroke (after improving her lie with the backswing/stroke) would absolve her from penalty. I showed her the notation I have in my Decisions Book next to that bullet – “Keep going.” She laughed and said she would remember that but thought she might be better served by keeping her ball in the fairway and out from underneath trees!

Like many rules incidents on the golf course, this happened so quickly I was still trying to process what I had seen as the player started walking off toward her ball. Rule 13-2 states that, “A player must not improve or allow to be improved… the area of his intended stance or swing by… moving, bending or breaking anything growing or fixed. However, the player incurs no penalty if the action occurs… in making a stroke or the backward movement of his club for a stroke and the stroke is made.” Clearly, she was not going to be absolved from penalty since she had discontinued her swing, but had she actually incurred any penalty?

Decision 13-2/0.5 Meaning of “Improve” in Rule 13-2 Decision 13-2/14.5 Branch Broken on Backswing and Swing Discontinued

I replayed the scene in my mind… I heard her club hit the branch. It was a solid hit to a portion of the branch that was roughly 3” in diameter. Did it break?

No. Did it move? Perhaps. Did any leaves fall from the tree? Yes, several small leaves fell to the ground. Did she improve the area of her swing? In my opinion, no.

The branch that she hit was solid enough that if it did move, it returned to its original position and the tree was fully leafed out such that the loss of a few leaves was not going to make any difference with respect to the area of her swing.

Decision 13-2/24 Area of Intended Swing Improved by Breaking Branch; Area of Swing Finally Used Not Affected by Branch Decision 14/1 Club Stopped on Downswing by Agency Other Than Player

PLAYERS OF THE YEAR The 2014 Player of the Year is never without a friendly greeting for his fellow competitors. It’s the mark of someone who thoroughlly enjoys life and who is content with both his career and his golf game. When you’re as talented as Phil is, what’s not to like?

Catching up with Phil, he Phil Caravia noted that it was nice to reflect on successes of this past season.

Certainly his best day was at the Old Warson Cup Match as he went head-to-head with Alex Cusumano for the title before winning on the 19th hole. However, he also felt that one of his best stroke play rounds was at the Metropolitan Open at St. Albans where he had three very consistent rounds.

Phil enjoys the level of competition that is present within the area, from the MAGA to the MGA, District and State events. “It’s always good to play at the highest level, against the best players” he noted, “and I now feel that I’m at the point with my game that I’m ready to do that during each tournament. Hopefully, that will enable me to be more competitive and close the deal more often.”

Enjoying strong support from his wife Sarah, who occasionally caddies for him, Phil looks to spend time working on his wedge game, especially for those 75-125 yard shots that enable him to have more run at birdie. He understands that in the end, it’s birdies that win tournaments.

Always a fan of Fred Couples, Phil’s demeanor on the course tends to match that of Fred’s as he takes a easy going, though methodical, approach to his game. Part of this comes from his recent work with Ellen Hinkel Reed, part of Jason Selk’s Organization and his “10-minute Toughness” book on sports psychology. Phil combines this mental approach with a good instructor and trainer to try and keep each aspect of his game sharp.

Like most good players, Phil would like to have even more success; and not just during local events. “I’d love to win on the state level. I’ve finished runner up a few times so I think I know what it takes to get to the finals.

Now I just need to take the next step.” In addition, while Phil began competing on the national level in 1995 in the U.S. Junior, he also believes he has enough game to compete in national events more often.

Senior Player of the Year Mark Gardiner began the year by besting amateur and pro alike during the U.S. Senior Open qualifying at The Legends CC. Putting an exclamation point on his season, he won the Metropolitan Senior in October; demonstrating that he could sustain his sharpness all Mark Gardiner season. In between, he won tournametts at the Missouri Golf Association, the Southern Illinois Golf Association and he won the first ever Gross Championship at the World Amateur Golf Championship in Myrtle Beach. Yet, to hear the 51-year-old retired Air Force Chief Master Sargeant (the highest enlisted rank one can attain) Mark believes he’s just begun to understand how to maintain the mental attitude to be a consistent winner.

Despite his success, the week spent at the U.S. Senior Open was certainly something special; even more so as he was able to share it with his family and many friends.

Once he sent in his bio to the USGA, they immediatele made plans to incorporate Mark into the Folds of Honor event with Major Dan Rooney. This meant so much to the man who has spent most of his life in the military and who’s wife continues to serve our country in uniform.

The whirlwind event started on the practice facility with an exhibition with Brad Faxon and Corey Pavin. Then he had his own individual press conference, complete with about 30 reporters, cameras and a profile on the Golf Channel. Though he felt a bit overwhelmed, Mark managed to keep his composure while being in the limelight. A practice round with Kevin Sutherland and Danny Edwards on Tuesday helped him relax, though a touch of tendonitis forced him to cut back his practice time on Wednesday to just chipping and putting.

A fairly long player, the course length nor the speed of the greens impacted him much; he just made a couple of bad swings. An opening 83 on Thursday was followed with a solid 75 on Friday, something Mark knew he had in him.

Mark noted how great the players he met were toward him. He specifically mentioned his interaction with David Frost, Michael Allen and Billy Andrade.

After such a great season, and so many wonderful experiences, he can’t wait for the 2015 season to begin!

CROWDFUNDING: HELPING PLAYERS ACHIEVE Not every golfer who wants to make it as a professional has access to endorsements or other funding. For many, it is friends, family and savings that gives them to ability to shoot for birdies. However, a new methodis now available to anyone looking to provide financial support for aspiring golfers. It’s called CrowdFunding and it is beginning to take hold! Founded by Van Pierce and Justin Bryant (Former Metropolitan Amateur Champion), check out their website to see if you want to become part of a golfer’s future.

ProUknow.com: A Crowdfunding Platform Endorsed by US Open Champion, Webb Simpson

Giving professional golfers a place to raise the necessary funding for their careers St. Louis, Mo October 31st, 2014

Co-Founders Van Pierce and Justin Bryant have launched a new crowdfunding web platform giving professional golfers a new way to connect with a larger network of sponsors. Previously, golf professionals looked to a small number of sponsors for a large amount of money in return for equity in the professional’s career. Now, ProUknow allows players to raise money and still maintain their equity by using current crowdfunding capabilities that allow individual sponsors to give smaller amounts of money, which in turn helps to expand the player’s networks and sponsorship pool. Pierce says, “One of the hardest things to do is ask people for money, so ProUknow’s platform allows a player to share their campaign via social media, email, and text message. It also offers a less formal way for players to ask in person because they can direct potential sponsors to their ProUknow campaign page. Overall, we are just trying to make the funding process less painful for the players while simultaneously connecting them to the people who want to support them the most but never knew how.”

ProUknow allows players to offer rewards through their campaigns–t-shirts, hats, polos, and Bluetooth speakers, to name a few–for smaller contributions. For larger contributions, they offer more unique rewards, such as sports tickets, appearances at corporate outings, sponsorships on their apparel and golf bags, or even the opportunity to spend a day on the course with a celebrity or PGA/LPGA tour professional. ProUknow encourages the players to use whatever personal resources they have in order to make their campaigns successful.

Upon its launch, ProUknow has two players from the Golf Channel’s reality show, the Big Break (Charlie Harrison and Christian Heavens), and two players from the LPGA and Symetra Tours (Natalie Sheary and Michelle Shin). Additionally, the company has players playing on a variety of tours all over the world.

Several players have used their connections effectively in hopes of receiving large contributions for a few unique experiences. Natalie Sheary is offering an opportunity to play with Women’s British Open Champion and Golf Channel analyst, Karren Stupples, in Orlando, Florida. Future ProUknow campaigns will also offer similar unique experiences for their sponsors.

ST. LOUIS GOLF HISTORY THE 1930 ST. LOUIS OPEN

The “Silver Scot” Tommy Armour after winning the 1930 St. Louis Open at Sunset Hill.

Armour sinking his final putt at the 18th green during the 1930 St. Louis Open. Walter Hagen would finish second. Pictured here is the back of the original Sunset clubhouse. This structure was torn down in 1956 to make way for the current clubhouse, which opened in 1957. Another feature is that the 18th green then is the current 9th, as the nines were reversed, along with the re-routing of the course, following the 1956 Carling Open and the opening of the new clubhouse, with the relocation on the golf shop within the building.

10

October 29, 1929 was one of the darkest days in U.S. history as the stock market crashed, beginning what would become known at The Great Depression.

However, there was a golf tournament planned for the following September in St. Louis at Sunset Hill CC and it would be a very special event.

From 1927-29, the St. Louis Open was held at various area clubs. Sponsored by the St. Louis District GA, it consisted, in most years, of local professionals and amateurs. During several of these tournaments, amateurs came out on top as the top prize was generally only around $300 for the professionals.

However, the 1930 event would have a $10,000 purse, with $2,500 going to the winner. For that kind of money, the top golfers across the country came calling.

The field resembled a U.S. Open event; Horton Smith, Lou Diegel, Gene Sarazen, Paul Runyan, Johnny Farrell, Walter Hagen, Tommy Armour, Joe Kirkwood, Harry Cooper, Al Espinosa, Dutch Harrison and many more. Also in the field was Hinsdale golf professional Jim Foulis, son of David Foulis, one of the designers of the Sunset course.

Ralph Guldahl posted a 66 in his first round, followed by Cooper and Armour at 67. Hagen was two back of them. The second round saw Armour shoot into the lead with a 68, which was matched by Hagen, while Gudahl and Cooper shot 73 and 76 respectively. Sarazen was 10 shots off the pace at 145. Armour’s 69 in the third round kept him in the lead at 204, while Hagen was at 207, followed by Espinosa, Smith and Kirkwood at 211, 213 and 214.

During the final round, Hagen could only close the gap by a single shot as he posted a 71 to Armour’s 72.

Kirkwood, Smith and Espinosa all tied at 281, earning nearly $1,100 each for their efforts. Hagen pocketed $2,000 for his week.

Hagen would return for the 1932 St. Louis Open at Meadow Brook CC, where he posted a 5-shot win over MacDonald Smith and Tony Manero. Armour would finish tied for 4th with Espinosa. The last St. Louis Open would be played in 1933 as a Match Play event, which was won by Ralph Guldahl.
