Holers

Written by Gay Halleman

Ladies, just a few rule refreshers this month.

Example 1:

On Robbers Row, the 4th hole, a par 3 with a lagoon and sand trap running the length of the left side Striving for straight but avoiding all the left side trouble the ball goes right, hits the cart path, and rolls across the street out of bounds. Uh-oh, the worst penalty; stroke and distance The ball may be re-hit from the tee (counting 3) or the new rules (hoping to increase the pace of play) say the ball may be carried to grass and hit from that point counting as a 4th shot.

On Barony the 14th hole, par 3, has a big pond which apparently has grown in size we have aged. It does not matter if the b hits the ground on the other side and the rolls back into the water, the hazard has been negotiated If it stays where it is possible to hit it then it is a nice break an is the 2nd shot. If the ball is a swimmer it may be moved to the drop zone (but not teed) hitting 3.
